About This Blog

KALLISTI was created several years ago. Since then, the blogopshere has gotten richer, but this devotee to Apollon (and now the Erinyes) is still here providing anecdotes of personal practice, communicating about various theological/moral/philosophical beliefs of myself and others, linking to valuable and/or interesting media sources, and sharing resources about Hellenic polytheisms with the general community.

Giving Back to the Community

For those of you who don't use an RSS reader, you may have noticed that I have a new item in my sidebar. Recently, I heard about something called SocialVibe, which is an effort to raise money for charities through bloggers' sites, and decided to join.

Charity: Water is my nonprofit choice because it provides clean water to people who don't have it. Many wars in water-scarce regions—and many genocides—may be linked to long-term food and water shortages that create animosity between groups. I'm not sure that the sponsor assigned to me by SocialVibe adequately fits what my readership is interested in, but you can be the judge of that.

If you have a blog, I encourage you to join me. If you are looking for other ways to contribute to society, consider joining the Google Group Polytheist Charity, which provides resources for polytheists looking to positively impact the world. Polytheist Charity recently completed the Genocide Prevention Ritual Project, which raised awareness in our communities of genocide and associated human rights abuses.
