Tenth Monthly Hymn: to the Gods
Hail, Holy Jove, the greatest 'mongst divine,
Eldest Demiurge, All-father's radiant shrine.
Olympians, Tartareans, Celestials, Earth's embrace,
We seek your mercy if we transgress in error's trace.
Purify our missteps, draw us to your blameless state,
Bless our lives; let virtue be our destined fate.
Especially you, Jove, in power's sovereign hold,
Both first and final Good, your blessings unfold.
Supreme ruler, encompassing all in your sway,
Guide us through misdeeds, lead us toward the virtuous way.
Grant us purification, grace, and mercy sublime,
In your celestial light, may our lives always climb.

Ascesis: The Handbook of Platonic Practice
The Western world desperately needs to develop its own spiritual practices. Westerners often seek out Eastern paths without realizing the rich spiritual traditions and practices hidden in our ancient past. Ascesis revives these ancient practices and offers a pathway for continuing to develop a science of the soul based on platonic principles.
