With Thanksgiving less than a week away, the holiday season is well and truly upon us. The conditions are perfect today for working magic for a happy holiday season, particularly for fostering respect amid varying viewpoints and promoting the paradigm of forgiveness, acceptance, and love.

Brew a small pot of Earl Grey tea. Sweeten a cup with honey and place it on your altar for Concordia, the Roman goddess who was traditionally invoked to heal family and marital discord. Sweeten another cup of tea with honey for yourself. Sit before your altar and petition Concordia by saying:

Great Goddess Concordia, may
this holiday season be filled with
sweetness, friendship, and love.
Please open my heart and the hearts
of my friends and family. Please
protect us from drama. Please bless
all our gatherings with harmony,
respect, and happiness. Thank you.

Enjoy your tea, then take the offering outside and pour it upon the earth.
