Announcement - Invitation To Celebrate Winter Solstice...Worldwide!

Many of us may be believers of the Old Ways. So to all those who might see this announcement in time, I call you, I call you to raise your bonfires up to the sky in the night at 22 of December this year and celebrate the forthcoming of the New Sun!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invitation for the Winter Solstice

Dear fellow Polytheists

By the chance of the celebration of Winter Solstice that is approaching in less than a month, we would like to invite you to participate with us, to the Festival of Winter Solstice.
As we did last summer on Summer Solstice with other fellow Polytheistic organizations and independent people, we are about to gather again and light fires, celebrating the forth coming of the New Sun .You can also participate from wherever country you may be and gather in groups in an open territory in the country or your members on their own in their homes if they cannot be with other comrades, and light fires with torches, candles, Sun wheels, or a simple lamp next to the window by the street, celebrating the Invincible Sun and transferring the message of the new Circle from one country to another, from each home to another, from each community to each other.
The event will take place from 23:00 hours till midnight on the night of 22 of December.
It is a great opportunity for all of us to stand united and spread the message of Solidarity and brotherhood among the people that follows the Old Ways of their Ancestor’s beliefs.
It is also a great opportunity for groups and organizations to come close and communicate to each other.
The way to transfer a message by fire is called in Hellenic language “Fryktories”, “Beacons” in English.
It is important for us, to take photos of your fires and send them to our e-mail hellenesthyrsos@gmail.com, so that we will be able to present them through our homepage www.thyrsos.gr and through this way to your homepages.
Please pass this message to anyone you think that should participate on this effort and last but not least, please take all the pre coercions that is needed to light a safe fire without any accidents!
If you have any questions about our organization we would be pleased to answer.

From the East to the West, from the South to the North we shall shout it out loud!
Hail Sonne!
Hail Sol Invictus!
Granizo Invencível Sol!
Hagl Uovervinnelig Sun!
Saludo Invencible Sol!
Hagel oövervinnerlig Sun!
Hagl Uovervindelige Sol!
Rahe Võitmatu Päike!
Rakeita Voittamaton Sun!
Grêle Invincible Soleil!
Unbesiegbarer Hagel Sonne!
Χαίρε Ανίκητε Ήλιε!

New Page is up!

The F.A.Q. are now online, anyone who wants to see a question and does not appear to that page send us an e-mail and the best questions will be published.

Blogspot Seems That Is Ready!

I think that the Blogspot is now ready to stand, instead of a website! Probably even better than a website since we added a Video Page that contains some of Hildr Valkyries fan videos with work from her Band and other Bands that collaborate-ed with!
This Blogspot, also features a full History Page, that explains exactly of what is going on with H.V., an Interviews Page that has some of the interviews that was taken at the past posted by date (not the Hellenic ones unfortunately -needs some time for that-), Bands Page,  Discography Page, Collaborations Page, Reviews Page and probably in the near future we will add a F.A.Q. Page for explaining the unexplainable mess!
Thank you for being here!
