The Order of the Horae is building and exploring monasticism within a Neo-Pagan religious framework. This discussion group is for those who follow a pagan or similarly earth-based polytheistic spiritual path, and feel called to be some manner of monk, nun, or hermit; those who wish to follow a monastic routine for a period of time as a spiritual retreat; and those who believe that structure and discipline are not antithetical to a Pagan worldview.

We hail thee, O gods, Each in the way decreed By the vast spans of time And the vaster spans of the human spirit That reflects your eternal light As the moon reflects the sun, As the waters drink our visage, As the mirror shows us our souls. May your blessings be upon us All the days of our lives, And may we live those lives in contemplation Of the glory of your being.
