πᾰρᾰπλευστέος - parapleustéos meaning ‘that must be sailed past’ *
A festival dedicated to Lady Asteria set around the new years. It begins on the 29th of December and finishes on the 1st of January. It focuses on change and preparation for the new year, it holds similarities with the concepts of new year resolutions but I think they’re a good thing to both associate and dedicate to Lady Asteria.
While not exactly feast days, the first and last days (29th & 1st) should have a special meal (no fish**) in her honour, the first (29th) to thank her for her guidance throughout the past year and the last (1st) to ask for her guidance and help in the coming year.
There should be a focus on prayers on the first and last days (29th & 1st) of the festival as well as smaller daily prayers to her on the other 2 days.
There should be preparation for the new year (e.g. cleaning) as well as looking at past actions and the changes we can make in order to to have a better year, this can be done on the 2nd day (30th) but can also be done on any day before the new year.
The third day (31st) holds particular importance and should be devoted to making something in her honour, such as crafting or baking.
On the final day of the festival (1st) there shouldn’t be any major preparations for the new year, but rather focus on celebrating the change and spending time with people.
A concise timeline:
29th - feast, main prayer day(s)
30th - focus on preparing for the new year (cleaning, cooking, etc)
31st - devoting a craft of some kind (baking, painting, etc)
1st - feast, main prayer day(s), spending time with friends/family etc. (focus on celebrating the new year and Lady Asteria’s guidance through it)
* When deciding on a name I asked Lady Asteria if she wanted a focus on a specific attribute/name (i.e. Delos, Asteria or Brizo) and I pulled a card with ocean imagery, so I decided on something more focused on her Brizo aspect. The idea of sailing is due her association with sailors, and the ‘sailing past’ something is to associate going into the new year, going past everything in the last year and starting afresh beyond it
** This is based on the UPG of Asteria=Brizo (post found here) and that it was noted that Lady Brizo was never given offerings of fish
These posts by @thegrapeandthefig where a great help in creating this festival, just in case anyone wants to make their own/alter this one
I hope this is useful to some of you, but please tell me if you see issues about this festival (e.g. the name or activities) or other things that may be related to Lady Asteria please feel free to message me!
I pray to you as a sign of my worship and ask for your protection throughout this day,
with this jewellery I wear in devotion to you, Quail mother, I ask for your guidance.
Also I’m very sorry to everyone whose sent a request, I’ve been feeling very disconnected and have been trying to keep offline a bit to focus, I should hopefully do them in the next couple of days!
finally got around to making a quick ref for Brizo as well as tweaking just some bits of her design to make her easier to draw for when she'll appear in the comic

Brizo lore that I might build upon if I continue to have motivation. this is a very experimental style that I want to continue to develop as time goes on as well.
A veces me asomo a buscar rastros de ti. Te busco donde sé que ya no estás, el lugar detrás del cual te escondías y entre sombras te dejabas ver.Ya no estás. Dejaré de buscarte ahí en un tiempo quizás.
