New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Naw-Rúz is a national festival marking the Iranian New Year. This Persian tradition spans multiple religions, including Baha'i, Sufi, and Zoroastrian. Its roots are lost in history. Sources connect it with fertility, agriculture, or the defeat of a demonic army. The festival of joy and renewal lasts thirteen days.
This holiday is celebrated with gifts and feasts. Historically, debts were forgiven and prisoners freed. Now is an ideal time to make up, if there is a damaged relationship in your life. Get in touch with the person and talk it out. For the magical part of this observation, you'll need two pieces of natural yarn such as wool. Carefully splice the ends together to make one whole piece. Then say: "What was separate is united. What was broken is repaired. As above, so below, so mote it be." Carry the yarn with you when you go to make amends. |
