New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Yellow
Incense of the day: Coriander The Callieach, Celtic hag of winter, begins her reign today. Legend says that on this day, she strikes the earth with a giant hammer, and cracks of frost spread out from wherever she strikes. Northern cultures offer numerous spells and charms to aid people's in their efforts to survive and stay wall through this dark time of the year. Still, you should know the winter season offers gifts as well-the benefits of reflection and rest. Winter is an excellent time to plan, to study, and to dream. Offer the Callieach an apple on your altar and burn a white candle. Ask this goddess to send you visions of the coming year. Allow yourself an hour of meditation. Feel yourself sinking into the earth, your roots reaching ever deeper. Slow your breathing and quiet your mind. Look forward to the next year. What thoughts surface? At the end of the hour, write in your journal what thoughts came to you. Fold the paper and plant it in your garden or in a flower pot. |
