Color of the day: Gold Incense of the day: Eucalyptus Ideally, this ritual should be worked with a coven or a like-minded friend. Food banks run low at this time of year, so begin a day ahead and tell coven members to bring a nonperishable food item. Include the food items as part of your altar decorations, along with seasonal flowers, a yellow candle, and a dish of cornmeal. Begin the ritual outside, and have the leader raise the cornmeal silently toward the moon. Pass the dish, and have each member mention something they're grateful for-let each person sprinkle a bit of the cornmeal on the ground. Return to the altar and light the candle. Together say: "Thank you, Grain Moon, for your blessings. We will share because we care." The next day, deliver your food to your local food bank. |
