Color of the day: Brown Incense of the day: Ivy Today is the birthday of Mata Hari (1876–1917), a sensational, notorious, and exotic woman executed for spying during World War I. All of us want to be beautiful, alluring, and mysterious sometimes. For a spell to bring forth your inner exotic nature, collect a length of sheer fabric, like chiffon, in your favorite color, glitter, a mirror, catnip for beauty, and a silver candle. In a darkened room, place the glitter and catnip in the candleholder and then light the candle. Sprinkle your chiffon veil with catnip and glitter. Hold the mirror and soften your eyes. Gaze into the mirror and call forth your alluring self. When your beautiful self is present, put the veil on and breathe in the mysterious wonder of your marvelous, exotic self. Continue to gaze until you feel the strength of your allure. Go forth and be fabulous!
