New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Brown
Incense of the day: Coriander The Chinese celebrate the Star Festival today. Begin this spell by taking a walk in the starlight tonight. First note the constellations that you recognize, then take in the entire sky, its vastness and beauty. Visualize the light that you see as a shower of creative energy raining down onto you. Return to your sacred space where you have set up 108 tea lights. That's a lot of candles, but worth going to the trouble-the number 108 is of great significance in sacred rituals all over the world. In numerology, its digits added become nine, the Goddess number, and 108 multiplied by 4 becomes 432, the number the ancients described as the cosmic cycle of time. As you light each of your 108 tea lights, quietly call out the name of the Goddess. Imagine that the energy you have drawn from the night-time stars, as well as the white beauty of the God-dess, is pulsing within you. After you have finished lighting the lights, take a breath. Now make a wish. |
