Worship, Services and Past Celebrations
Here you'll find information on the events that take place in the real-time temple space. Also, an archive of the rituals performed at past celebrations is listed on this page so that people who wish to perform the rituals themselves can print out a copy. I only ask that if you are going to do this that you please give credit to the author as appropriate. Rituals are usually posted after the event has occurred although sometimes if a temple rite falls on the actual date of a festival, the ritual will be posted earlier.
Events:
All events are semi-public and individuals who are interested in attending MUST email the Neokoros (and preferably arrange a time to meet the Neokoros in person prior to the event) in advance for directions to the temple space. If you are not able to attend an event and are interested in having a prayer or offering (incense sticks and/or tea-light candle) made on your behalf, please email the Neokoros with the prayer you wish either spoken or written (prayers are also written upon ribbons which are tied around a prayer shawl upon the shrine of the Deity).
For more information about upcoming events, interested parties are invited to join the HTAZP mailing list.
