New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Silver
Incense of the day: Rosemary This is the last day commemorating Sukkot, a Jewish holiday in which many families honor their ancestors who came across the desert by constructing and staying in temporary dwellings. If it is not too cold, throw up a tent outside. Alternatively, construct an altar in a room you would not normally use, such as a garage. In either space, bring in things you would normally use to travel: a walking stick, a backpack, or even a set of car keys. Place them in the ritual space and say: In my future travels Let me be blessed By the strength of those Who have traveled before me. Allow me to be guided To a safe haven No matter How distant I am. Let the ancestors Infuse these tools So that I may always Return to my promised land. This is a good day to plan trips, or organize your pictures of other adventures. Spend as much time as you can in this space today, and then take it down at night. |
