New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Today is Make a Difference Day. This holiday encourages people to connect with each other by doing volunteer work in their community. Activities include serving at a soup kitchen, building or rebuilding lowincome housing, raking leaves for elderly neighbors, preparing community gardens for winter, doing maintenance work in parks, and so forth. This promotes compassion and empathy, what our ancestors called "fellowfeel."
For this spell, you'll need a loose puzzle piece and some juniper oil. Juniper boosts vigor and selfassurance. It also aids people who cut themselves off from community because of self-absorption or anxiety. Anoint the puzzle piece with juniper oil and say: "Neighbors and friends, Meet at the ends. Doing good deeds And sowing seeds. So let me learn In my own turn." Carry the charm with you as you do your volunteer work. Seek connections with the people you meet. Try to make at least three new friends. |
