Today is Hilaria, the Roman Festival of Joy. Corresponding with the ancient date of the Spring Equinox, this was the day Romans celebrated the resurrection of Attis, a Phrygian god beloved of the Great Mother Goddess Cybele. Romans could dress up like anyone, even the Emperor himself, and wild parties were the norm. Decorate your altar or house today with fresh pine or violets, both sacred to Attis. You can use this prayer at your altar today:

Attis, beloved of Cybele,
Your return brings with you
the renewal of joy.
Fill my life with bounty
That I may delight in it and
so honor you. Blessed be!
