Today's Goddess: MINERVA Terminalia (Rome)
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Wed Feb 22, 2012 8:18 pm (PST)
Today's Goddess:MINERVA
Terminalia (Rome)
Themes: Earth; Home
Symbols: Owl; Geranium
About Minerva: This Etruscan/Italic Goddess blended the odd attributes of being a
patroness of household tasks, including arts and crafts, and also being
the patroness of protection and of war. Today she joins in pre-spring
festivities by helping people prepare their lands for sowing and
embracing the figurative lands of our hearts, homes, and spirits with
her positive energy.
To Do Today: In ancient times, this was a day to bless one's lands and borders.
Gifts of corn, honey, and wine were given to the earth and its spirits
to keep the property safe and fertile throughout the year. In modern
times, this equates to a Minerva-centered house blessing.
Begin by putting on
some spiritually uplifting music. Burn geranium-scented incense if
possible; otherwise, any pantry spice will do. Take this into every room of your home, always moving clockwise to promote positive growing
energy. As you get to each room, repeat this incantation:
Minerva, protect this sacred space and all who live within. By your power and my will, the magic now begins!
Wear a geranium today to commemorate Minerva and welcome her energy into your life.

Harmony Spell

Harmony Spell
Incense of the day: Cedar
On this day, the ancient Romans
celebrated Concordia, also known as Caristia. They recognized the
importance of harmony among family and friends. Each family would hold a feast and do their best to mend any quarrels among themselves. They
exchanged small gifts and reconnected with loved ones. In music, harmony results from the concord of two or more different sounds. Without both
the difference and the concord, there could be no harmony; and the same
is true of human relationships. Celebrate today by sharing favorite
family songs with
your loved ones. You might begin with a chant such as this:
We are simply notes
In a larger song
All our doubts and hopes
Carry us along
Voices in a chord
Souls in symphony
Weaving long and short
Perfect harmony

What's Happening Today:
Terminalia - On this day, Romans honored boundary god Terminus. Neighbors met at the boundary stones between their properties, with the women bringing torches ignited on their hearths, the sons with baskets of produce from the property and the daughters with special honey cakes. The women kindled twin altar fires made of neatly interlaced sticks. The sons held their baskets over the fire and the girls shook them three times to scatter its contents into the flames, then fed the cakes to the fire. Employees stood by dressed in white, wine in hand. The two landowners slaughtered a lamb and a suckling pig and let the blood spatter on the stone. Then the two families sat down for a feast.
A good day to honor boundaries of all sorts, from property boundaries to personal boundaries. How can you mark and define your space? What tokens will you set up to show others where your boundaries are? And how will you honor these?
Rufus, Anneli, The World Holiday Book, Harper San Francisco 1994
St Mildburga - This sixth century Shropshire saint was associated with plowing and sewing from an early date. She protected a newly-sown field from the depredations of worms and geese. While fleeing from her enemies she caused water to spring up out of the ground and a field of barley to grow to maturity in one day. Her feast day falls in the middle of the spring wheat sowing season in Shropshire. Berger, Pamela, The Goddess Obscured, Beacon Press 1985
St Polycarp - The LaPlante sisters recommend St Polycarp as the saint to invoke when looking for a parking spot, although the connection between his life (he was a student of the Apostle John, a Bishop of Smyrna and martyred at the age of 86) and parking places is obscure. They suggest the following prayer: "Polycarp, find me a spot."

Daily Aromatherapy Tip - Worry
.
Sandalwood is indicated for obsessive worry, and for worldly "over attachment".
Whenever we over invest in seeing specific outcomes for our efforts, Sandalwood helps us
to re-establish an acceptance of reality as it is.

Reversing Spell
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411

Reversing Spell
Color of the day: Yellow
Incense of the day: Lilac
Sometimes we feel we are working under some kind of restriction. We may feel covered by a cloud, or a curse, or some kind of spell working. Be it a jealous friend, some stupid troll, or we just got in the lind of fire, we are looking at the feeling tha twe have been hexed. A reversing or uncrossing can help remove the issue.
A bath of rose, lavender, Bay laurel, and lemon oil will open the door for the individual to cross from under the working. This is followed by a ritual of meditation to find the root cause and banish the curse. Then, residual bad energies are cleared away and replaced with healing energy.
Finally, a ring of protection against further attack is created. The hardest step is finding the root cause. You much be honest with yourself. Who or what is the cause? Examine closely what caused the issue.

Scandanavian Poetic Edda
Posted by: "Cher Chirichello" CHIC0411@YAHOO.COM chic0411
Wed Feb 22, 2012 8:23 pm (PST)
There are three women, wisest in the world.
They live beneath a vast spreading ash-tree.
One is Urth, the second Verthandi, and the third
is called Skuld, the elf-queen. They are the future
and the past, they are the present with its potential
and its history. They are fate, they are fortune,
they are the laws of cause and consequence.
Our lives are bounded by these laws. Your fate,
my fate, the fate of nations ~ all are in their hands.
~Scandanavian Poetic Edda
As spring nears, our
thoughts naturally look to the future. We wonder what life will bring to us next. In agricultural societies, this is the time where seed is
selected to plant the new crop. Careful selection will mean a better
yield in the new harvest, and thus a less arduous winter and greater
resources for the following spring.
Similarly, we must
continually sift through our experiences, determining which patterns we
will find productive to continue and which should be eliminated. At any
point in time, we have the power to control the future. Each action we
make today sets in motion effects that can create results in a week, a
month, a year. Even the tiniest choices can have significant effects. As we move through this day, let us be aware that we are creating our own
fate, our own future
