Color of the day: Lavender Incense of the day: Lilac Incense of the day: Lilac The New Moon on the Moon's day in the dark of winter is a perfect time to access the power of the Crone. The Goddess as Crone is not to be feared; she is the loving grandmother, the powerful mentor, and the wise elder. Place black and silver candles and oak leaves if possible on your altar. Burn a flowery incense as the Crone is feminine as well as strong. Place a statue of your favorite Crone goddess on the altar if you wish. Offer a libation of a liqueur such as Strega. Call quarters or cast a simple circle. Meditate on the Crone as goddess, then say: Lady of night, Wise counsel and brave elder, Touch my life, Touch my heart. Now you may ask the Crone for the guidance you seek. Once the candles and incense have burned, dispose of them, if possible, in a receptacle near a crossroads. |
