New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
Sometimes we find that it is difficult to take new knowledge into our minds. The Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena, may provide aid in this task. Place a piece of polished tiger's-eye to the right of a yellow candle on your altar. Light the yellow candle. Write this chant on a piece of parchment as you read it aloud: Hail, Athena! Come forth to fill my mind with your wisdom bright. Help me to keep my mind alert and clear, knowing that learning is nothing to fear. With your wisdom, I ask, make my mind keen, and make my studies stay with and enlighten me for years to come. Fold the paper seven times and set it aflame in your burning dish. Gather the ashes and scatter them outdoors. Let the candle burn and charge the stone while you study. Keep the stone with you when you need to write papers, take exams, or study. |
