Daidophorios
the month of October - honoring Hekatê
According to the Delphic Calendar as presented on Pytho.Notion - Daidophorios (historically) is the month that most closely aligns with the month of November. However, The Temple has repurposed the festival of Daidophorios to be a celebration of Hekatê - occuring on October 31st. Due to this, the month of Daidaphoria is celebrated in October to better align our worship and newly established traditions.
Daidophorios was originally named in honor of Daidaphoria, a festival honoring the "bearing of torches":
"Dadaphoria is linked to Dionysos' "torch bearer" epithet, with Euripides describing him as “bounding with his torches among the crags at Delphi”. Though its rituals are unknown, it is likely connected to the celebrations of the Thyiads known to have included feasting, dancing, and torchlight processions on Mt Parnassos."
