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.

How You Got Here: Blog Updates and Stats

You may have noticed that my blog looks different now. I’ve moved the tag cloud to the bottom of the page and have switched from my custom theme to one Blogger provides, primarily because I may want to turn some of my posts for beginners into Pages with the new feature. People might find stuff more easily that way. I chose the background because it reminds me of ornithomancy, or the divination of birds, practiced in Ancient Greece.

2011 was a good year for this blog. All in all, I had 3422 unique visitors, including some from countries that engage in heavy Internet censorship, so I’m obviously doing something right.

I wonder what “not provided” means. Maybe the Annunaki cowboys whipping Nibiru into the inner solar system are just coasting along to death metal chatting about my site with their Reptilian buddies. (And now I’m going to get more New Age landing keywords. You just can’t win, can you?)

The page people visit most is the one I wrote about Sacred Source and the statues. For some reason, people love that thing to death. The originality of their keywords never ceases to amaze me. It’s a bit disappointing that so many people get here searching for sex when that’s not generally what I write about. I know that giving you some of the really interesting ones is going to only make more people just trying to find some goat sex sad. Still, here are some of my favorites:
ancient archeology sex exhibit man and goat
ancient gods sex with aliens
sex mad goat
taliban sex with goat
sex art of pompie
How did someone get to my blog when s/he can’t even spell Pompeii properly?

Of course, sometimes people ask questions in their searches. I don’t know that they find answers, but I’d like to give one of them a try:

Where’s the temple of the Erinyes?

The Erinyes had cult centers in Keryneia, Megalopolis, Athens, Haliartos, Myonia, and Rome, among other places. In Athens, they had a sanctuary as the Semnai Theai near the Areopagos (Hill of Ares), the murder court of Athens. Phyla and Myrrhinos, also in Attika, also had altars for the Erinyes as the Semnai Theai. You can find most of the information you need on Theoi.com’s page about the Erinyes: http://www.theoi.com/Khthonios/Erinyes6.html
