In this episode of Living Hellenism, George Lizos and Elyse Welles explore the summer solstice in Hellenic polytheism and its connection to Apollo, Hermes, and the living practice of Greek religion. They discuss how the summer solstice is understood through the Greek wheel of the year, why Apollo’s light is honored at this time, and how this season invites spiritual growth, manifestation, visibility, and deeper devotional practice.

You’ll also learn about Hermes as the Greek god of communication, guidance, travel, offerings, and sacred connection between the human and divine worlds. George and Elyse explore Hermes’ myths, symbols, virtues, and role in ancient Greek spirituality, while offering practical ways to honor the Greek gods through nature, prayer, offerings, community, and everyday Hellenic worship. The episode ends with the Orphic Hymn to Hermes as a devotional offering for the month.
