Noumenia is the second day in the three days that mark the start of the new month in the Hellenic calendar though I only recognize Noumenia as an eclectic revivalist. Please refer to other Hellenic polytheists for more information.
In my practice Noumenia is a day to honor Hestia. I refresh and cleanse my household, cook a nice dinner and bake honey cakes, and take some devotional time out of my day for Hestia.
