So, during the day, I will be doing something that I've done many times. And that's celebrating the date that America won it's independence from Great Britain. Even though, today, many people admire the royal family over two hundred years ago this wasn't the case. Great Britain passed a series of taxes against it's colonies and the colonists weren't having any of it. If your were raised in the States then you know all about the American Revolutionary war, the only revolution that was successful, and you know about the Boston Tea Party.
What amazed me was that I use to live in Mass and I went to Salem Mass. On the side of one of the shops there's a sign that states that this is where the 'Sons of the Revolution planned the Boston Tea Party.' To see that history was just amazing. Down here it's mostly the Civil War and historical monuments. So I'm going to be blessing the fire to Hestia today and cooking my food, happy that I have freedom of religion and that I can worship my gods.
I will also be giving an offering to Athena and thanking her for blessing the colonists with victory as well as Ares. I hope that those Hellenists that live here have a good one and lets also pray for the protection of our Hellenist friends in Greece, who don't have the blessing of freedom of religion that we do.
