New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Coral
Incense of the day: Dill It is appropriate that Larentia, the Roman mother goddess of friendly ghosts, was honored today. Traditionally, December is a time when ghosts are active. All we have to do is think of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol to understand this. As the year draws to a close, it is time to honor our ancestral spirits and any friendly spirits that have taken up residence with us. Prepare the following sachet to protect your home and to welcome friendly spirits. In an attractive scrap of fabric tie up a pinch of nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, one crushed bay leaf, and a tablespoon of dried orange peel. Tie it up with a green ribbon, and leave it near a window, or put a pinch in an old shoe and leave on your porch - a place where house spirits frequently dwell. End by lighting a green candle and saying: "Friendly spirits alone are welcome in this place. Come in peace, or come not at all. As I will, so mote it be." |
