Theoxenia, also referred to as 'All Gods Day' within the Temple, is a day of celebration to honor all Hellenic deities and entities. This day, which occurs annually on Theoxenios 7, is a day where we acknowledge and honor all of The Theoi - even those outside of our regular worship and adoration.

This is also the first day of the year in which we celebrate Oracle Consultation - making it an excellent day for communing with the divine and engaging in divination.

history vs modern day

According to Pythio.Notion:

"The Theoxenia festival was a feast to welcome the gods into the home. It was often associated with the cult of the dead and may have served a purification purpose. The festival involved inviting various gods, such as Apollon, Leto and the Dioskouroi (Dioscuri), and offering them food at a banquet. The Delphians, in particular, made offerings for the benefit of all of Hellas (Greece) during their Theoxenia."

Temple Hyacinthus observes Theoxenia as 'All Gods Day' - a day in which we step out of our personal pantheons, practices, and households Gods and remember the vast and diverse nature of the Hellenic Pantheon.
