New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901

Color of the day: Rose Incense of the day: Thyme We celebrate the feast day of Felicitas, the Roman goddess of good fortune. While Fortuna ruled the fates of nations, Felicitas oversaw the personal happiness of her citizens. Make your own wheel of fortune this year using a small wreath of dried grapevine with as many spokes as you have wishes. Decorate the altar with flowers and small cakes or gifts of fruit as an offering to Felicitas. Light a stick of sandalwood incense. On small squares of colored paper, write your wishes: red for love, green for money and health, pink for friendship, yellow for creativity, brown for home, blue for spirituality, and white for miscellaneous wishes. Be sure to make your wishes specific. Fold the papers and attach to the spokes of the wheel. Place the wreath in a box and keep it hidden away. It's important at this point to forget your wishes. Leave your offerings to Felicitas at the base of a tree. Set a time in the future when you will open the box and check off the wishes that have come true. |
