ABSTRACT

Themis does more than bring the Olympians together in council. She also convenes and presides over their feasts.1 So this ancient energy, born of Earth, has a task of particular honour in the realms of the Heavens – and one which brings enjoyment and delight to all the other gods and goddesses. In psychological language, it seems that if we humans remain conscious of themis energy, then we too will be able to celebrate the feast which brings together different aspects of individuals, and individuals with each other, in all their diversity and similarity.
