They are the Primal Powers of Sun and Moon and Star, Mountain and River and Sea, Time and the Seasons. They are the Titans, first born of Earth and Heaven.The Titans are an enigma. Who are they? Which aspects of creation do they guard or represent? How were they honored by the ancient Greeks? How are they honored by contemporary polytheists? And what, exactly, is a Titan?Broadly defined, the Titans are the elder generation of Hellenic Deities and their immediate offspring, and sometimes their grandchildren. Though sometimes their grandchildren are counted among the Olympian generation who eventually supplanted the Titans as the ruling Deities. The distinction between Titan and Olympian is as much political as it is generational.There is more to the Titans than a few passages in the few surviving stories that have been told and retold across the millennia. The Titans may be largely forgotten, but they are still worthy of due respect and honor. They are Powers, greater than us, more intimately connected to and responsible for the workings of creation.Within these pages, you will find poems and hymns, meditations and rites, artwork and essays and fiction. This devotional has been a labor of love for its contributors. It has been a long time in coming, and we hope that it will inspire polytheists everywhere to take a closer look at these Forgotten Powers. Less
