Color of the day: Gold Incense of the day: Marigold Today is Mother's Day. What better day to perform a ritual for our Mother Earth? She is the Great Mother of all life on this planet and is the sustainer of our very life force. It's good practice to frequently honor her. Today, think of a nice spot to visit in nature. Even if you have to travel to get there, be sure that the area is as energetically pure as possible, containing many trees, grasses, and plants. When you arrive, light a green candle and lay on the ground (nude, if possible, or with no blanket beneath you). Feel the glory of the season and contemplate the meaning of Mother's Day and how you can honor the Great Mother both inside and outside of ritual. How can you rearrange aspects of your life to be more environmentally friendly? After contemplating these types of questions, think about what it means to be Pagan-an Earth-worshipper-and what the Great Mother means to you. Perform meditative exercises, feel the trees and plants, leave an offering, and know that you, yourself, are part of the Great Mother. |
