Goddess of The Day: ONIATA Winterlude (Ottawa, Canada)

Goddess of The Day: ONIATA
Winterlude (Ottawa, Canada)
Themes: Recreation; Good Sportsmanship
Symbols: Early-blooming Flowers; Snow
About
Oniata: Oniata, an Iroquois Goddess, embodies what it means to be a good sport. According to legend she came to live with the Iroquois, who
found her beauty distracting, so much so that men left their families
just to catch a glimpse of her radiance. When Oniata found out about
this, rather than getting angry with the men, she left the earth. The
only trace of her beauty she left behind was the sprouting of spring
flowers peeking out from melting snow.
To Do
Today:Plant some early blooming seeds today so that when they blossom,
Oniata's good humor and temperament can also bloom in your life.
In Canada, people take this opportunity to enjoy the last remnants of winter by
participating in various sporting activities (especially skating) and by making snow sculptures. Try the latter activity yourself; perhaps
create a flower out of packed snow to honor and welcome Oniata. If you
live in a warm climate, you can blend up some ice cubes to a snowy
consistency for sculpting, and make it into a snowcone afterward to
internalize the energy! Or, consider going to an ice rink for a little
rest and relaxation. Return outside and appreciate any flowers nearby.
Oniata lives in their fragrance and loveliness.

Four Elements Spell

Four Elements Spell
Most magical practitioners understand the four elementsâ€"earth, air, fire,
waterâ€"used in Western traditions. Where these elements meet and interact at their edges, however, they create other energies sometimes called
"para-elemental" forces. At the intersection of water and earth, for
example, we find the para-elemental energy of ice. You can influence a
para-elemental force in much the same way you would work with one of the four elements. To make ice less slippery and more stable, you might
coax it to become more like earth. To make it melt and get off your
driveway, you could encourage it to move to the water side of its
nature. As always, remember to be polite to your elements. ~ Elizabeth Barrette

Daily Aromatherapy Tip - Calming

Daily Aromatherapy Tip - Calming
Sandalwood and Frankincense help to relax by calming the mind.Excessive mental strain,
for example: studying for an exam, can be eased by diffusing Frankincense perhaps with
Bergamot to relax the nerves and uplift the spirit. Both Sandalwood and Frankincense
blend well with the citrus oils.

Lithuanian Folksongs

I went to Ausrine and asked what she did,
and Ausrine answered, "I am Saule's servant,
the darling little mother-sun. I kindle her fire
every morning, very early, very early."
I went to the sun and asked her about Ausrine.
"She is dawn, my fire-kindler," Saule said.
And what about Vakyrine, star of evening? I asked.
"Vakyrine fluffs up my bed for me," she said.
~Lithuanian Folksongs
Not all people saw the goddess as cosmic and
unapproachable. To many people she has been a part of the family, a
familiar voice in daily life, a member of the community. In Baltic
folksongs, recorded in Lithuania and Latvia, the Goddess is a
hard-working woman like any other in the village. She lives with her
family of daughter Goddesses,
each of whom have special household tasks. She goes to work each day and returns, tired and ready for bed. She is, in other words, just like
you, just like me.
And we are just like her. It is not only our great actions that make us Goddesses, but our invisible daily lives as well. Like her, we rise each morning;
like her, we retire to our beds each night. We talk with our friends, we do our work, we care for our loved ones. In each of these actions, we
are participating in the energy and power of the Goddess.Patricia Monaghan
