Honor the Goddess Ceres

Today is the first day of the festival of Ceres, the Roman goddess of grains and crops. Ceres represents the fertile earth; she pushes the sprouts from their seeds and offers the promise of an abundant harvest to come.
Set your altar with bread, milk, and honey, and a vase of poppies in honor of Ceres. Light a beeswax candle and visualize endless fields of golden grain. Grain symbolized abundance for the Romans; bread and grain were even used to pay soldiers. It was the measure of success. As you meditate on this, you may recite this blessing,

"Lady Ceres, bless our seed, may we never want or need. Wave your hand across our fields, nurture our abundant yields."

Drink a toast to Ceres. Taste the bread, milk, and honey, and leave some as an offering to this goddess of growth and abundance.
