Now that I’m halfway through my PantheaCon 2012 updates/summaries, I can also share something else with you, which was quite unexpected, but also quite fantastically wonderful as well. I’ve only really sat with it for about a day and a half now, so it hasn’t really sunken in yet, but more will be said on this in the weeks to come…
POLYDEUKION NOW HAS A DEDICATED ORACULAR MEDIUM!!!
A certain gentleman I know rather well has come forward and will be acting as the Oracle of Polydeukion until further notice. The gentleman is called Stephanopotamos, and will be doing an oracular session with Polydeukion for semi-public consumption every three months, starting this year on Polydeukion’s festival of March 9th, and then on the 9th of June, September, and December ad infinitum (!?!). I fully support, endorse, and recommend this oracle, and he will be my “go-to” oracle for Antinous-related and Ekklesía Antínoou-related matters from here on out. In addition to the regular three-months-apart sessions, the oracle will also be available for private consultations with those who wish to seek them.
I have the following information available from the oracle on all of this, which I’ve been asked to pass along to anyone interested:
Polydeukion says:
I have chosen an Oracle to work with on an ongoing basis. I will be available via this oracle for public information as well as private consultations. I plan to issue public statements every 3 months, starting on March 9. If you have questions or matters you would like me to address, please send them to polydeukion (dot) oracle (at) zoho (dot) com the
week before March 9, June 9, September 9, December 9.
I am also available for personal consultations. If you are interested in this, please email polydeukion (dot) oracle (at) zoho (dot) com to discuss. I would like my oracle to be compensated for these consultations in some way; please do not let this deter you from seeking one. I am certain something can be worked out (compensation does not have to be
monetary).
I have chosen an oracle now for a number of reasons, primarily because I am interested in working with humanity on being in right relationship with the land – spiritually, ritually, and physically. I don’t expect my following to be very large; I would prefer a small, dedicated group to a large, unfocused one. I also don’t expect this work to replace any existing practices, but instead to compliment and extend. I will discuss this in more detail in my March 9 message.
Very cool, isn’t it?
I’m so happy to see that the Treískouroi are taking root in other people and other places…While I’ve been working on Polydeukion in particular for about six years now, the work has intensified especially since 2010, and continues to do so. This is a very good phenomenon, I think, and I’m excited to hear what he has to say, on what he alluded to above as well as so much else! I hope that all of you will take advantage of this opportunity to whatever extent you feel is most appropriate to your own level of interest!
Khaire Polydeukion!

Most excellent news IMO.
