What is there to think? Nobody knows what they really consisted of, but I celebrate them anyway. Thesmophora in the fall, the lesser mysteries, and the greater mysteries in the spring, Persephone's return and the promise of our own resurrection after death.

I agree with the person above me we have no idea of what they consisted of, nor have I found any credible evidence as to what they 'might' have been. I personally worship Gaea and the Creator (or Chaos if you feel like calling it that, but not even that term aptly describes the being that created the Oldest One [For those who do not know that is another name for Gaea]) and finding any evidence on how She and the Creator were worshiped or even what days were consider their sacred days is now impossible. I do however plan to visit Delphi one day during my life to leave an offering to Gaea, and show my respects to the now long gone oracle. The temple at Delphi and its oracle was Gaea's long before it was given to Apollo.

They are the celebration of Persephone's return. I still observe them every year, religiously. ;-)
