“Shouting barbarous words at the sky”: Singing Orphic Hymns at the Pagan Picnic

By Eric O. Scott | June 13, 2026

“‘Dionysos, inspire us!’ came the call, and ‘Dionysos, inspire us!’ came the answer,” writes Eric O. Scott, describing his experience attending an Orphic Solar Rite at the 2026 St. Louis Pagan Picnic, hosted by the Kansas City Sorcerous Arts Collective.

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: Sun and Moon Tarot, by Vanessa Decort, and published by U.S. Games Systems, Inc.

Card: Four (4) of Swords: Truce

This week could offer up some interesting challenges that may require unexpected pivots and shifts. The need to be flexible and open to new options is likely to be highlighted, but making hasty decisions should be discouraged. Finding a balance point is liable to be key. If there is uncertainty, a step back to fully evaluate the situation is likely to be called for.

Conversely, the need to recognize that taking a break is likely to be front and center. Otherwise, expect to be forced by exhaustion to do so. Attempting to push through despite the need for rest has the potential for frustration and even burnout. Even a forced respite can allow for being more fully present mentally and emotionally and is conducive to making a clearer assessment of what is truly needed.
