Dies Veneris means “day of Venus,” which is Friday. Venus is the Roman goddess of love, beauty, and victory. She’s a self-possessed and sensual goddess. Today is a good day to do a ritual in her honor.

Begin by taking off your clothes. Light a pink floral-scented candle in a holder.

Into a cup of coarse sea salt, crumble the petals of a single pink or red rose. Say:

In honor of Venus.

Sprinkle the sea salt mixture in the tub. Draw a hot bath and swirl the mixture to dissolve.

Take a clamshell-shaped soap and natural sponge into the tub. Recite:

I conjure Venus.

Rub soap on the sponge and wet it to create a lather. Cleanse your body. Say:

May I learn from the love magick,
beauty and acceptance of self. I
ask these things of you on your
day. Blessings to Venus!

Bathe in the light and warmth of the candle. See what messages Venus brings forth for you.

Get out of the tub and dry off. Put on a robe and record any visions or messages you receive. Extinguish the candle.
