Hierarch Demeter Ceres

Goddess Demeter Ceres (Damater, Dorian) serves as a Hierarch of the Fifth Ray of Rainbow Healing. The Sacred Site focal point of Hierarch Demeter Ceres is Epidavros, Argolis, Peloponnesos, Greece.

Demeter Ceres was Demeter, a Greek agricultural, earth, and fertility mother goddess who was later known as Ceres by the Romans. She taught people the art of ploughing and sowing and how to bring forth and then harvest fruits and grains.

As Ceres, Hierarch Demeter Ceres, was mentioned in Virgil's "Aeneid" and honored by statues and reliefs in Greco-Roman sanctuaries during the "Cerealia" and "Thesmophoria" festivals.

As Demeter she was referred to Hesiod's "Theogony" and "Hymn to Demeter". There were also terra cottas and diverse sculptures throughout Greece where she was revered in many different locales.

Demeter Ceres was venerated in the Eleusinian Mysteries, established during Mycenean times around 1,500 BCE, that honored the cyclic seasonal death and rebirth of nature each year.

Besides being the patroness of customs, designed society and marriage, Demeter Ceres is also a skilled herbalist, shamanic healer, and spellcrafter.

The Sacred Site focal point of Hierarch Demeter Ceres and the Fifth Ray of Rainbow Healing is Epidavros, which is located midway along the east coast of the Argolid district on Peloponnesos amidst the blue of the Saronic Gulf.

Once a major healing center with a curative spring, the ancient city-state dates from around 400 BCE and has remnants of Greek and Roman buildings and temples, including a well preserved open-air theater with excellent acoustics that seats 14,000 and Mycenaean tombs.

The Carians and Dorians were the first know inhabitants of Epidavros, and the city took part in the Trojan War.

Wafting on the sea breezes, the scent of orange blossoms and pine trees further accents the picturesque beauty of the fertile landscape that surrounds the sheltered port... Hierarchs Goddesses Gods of Twelve Universal Rays
