New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Amber
Incense of the day: Clove This day marks the halfway point of autumn. It is also known as the birch month, symbolic of new beginnings. Some pagans believe the Celtic New Year occurs on October 31, the day on which we traditionally celebrate Samhain. Today might be more appropriate for a new-year celebration. It is a fine time for making resolutions, because in the approaching "down time" of winter we can make plans for projects and things we'd like to work on. Make a list of things you'd like to accomplish this winter, and decide what categories they fit under-such as "practical" (i.e. organize closets, fix gutters), or "magical" (make a new tool, write a new ritual), or "somewhere in between" (learn French cooking). Then, get out your calendar and write in tips to get you started. |
