Incense of the day: Parsley The earth dragons of Chinese mythology live in lakes and rivers and control the rain, and the annual dragon boat festival takes place around this time. This festival was originally held as a solstice ritual to awaken the dragon gods of the river. Construct paper boats-one for each wish. Draw or paste an image of a dragon on the side of your wish boat. By painting in the pupil in the eye of your dragon, you are awakening him. This is a good time to think of what you want to offer the dragon in your wish boat. A lit votive candle, a small stone, a seed pearl, or a piece of cake are all worthy offerings. The night of June 18, take your wish boat to the banks of a river or a lake and float your wishes to the dragon that lives there. |
