New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Silver
Incense of the day: Chrysanthemum The ancient Romans held their goddess of the hearth, Vesta, in such high esteem that in addition to Vestalia (on June 9), they also honored her with a second festival on this day. Modern Wiccans celebrate this festival by lighting six red candles and throwing herbs in the candle flames. It's also a time to bless and protect the home. Light a stick of raspberry incense. Raspberry is known for its protective qualities, in particular of the home. Walking through your home, use the incense stick to trace an invoking pentagram for protection on each window and external door. Visualize a pentagram of light at each entrance to your haven, continuously protecting you and your house as you say: With the smoke of incense I invoke protection for this place From unwanted energies Entering my sacred space. |
