Aspects of Harvests and Agriculture

Suggested Deities: Karametra, Chauntea, Demeter,

Worshipping the Cultered Growth

The earth’s fertility is essential for mortal life to continue. Those who live in the modern poleis might not be as aware of that fact as those who farm their own food, but even they long for children, know the pinch of hunger, and feel the turn of the seasons.
Prayers to these deities focus on asserting their constancy and bounty, praising the their love and generosity. Worshipers of the Harvest gather for a feast once a month, on the evening of the full moon, that celebrates the deities' role in parenthood and community. New parents receive gifts and blessings, and young couples sneak away into the woods in hopes of finding sweet berries and sweeter kisses.
