It’s World Elephant Day, a day dedicated to the preservation of these majestic animals and their habitats. Elephants really are wonderful creatures and are revered in many cultures as symbols of wisdom, strength, protection, and good luck. They are also seen as harbingers of good fortune.

Today, in honor of the elephant, and perhaps to attract a bit of good fortune, place an image of an elephant near your main entry to welcome the blessings of good fortune into your home. Alternatively, you can invite the spirit of the elephant to bring good fortune to your career by placing one on or near your desk.

The best magic involves reciprocity, however, and we often get back what we put into the world. So consider making an offering in the form of a donation to an organization that is assisting the effort to protect these creatures and preserve their habitats. This is magic that benefits both you and the beloved elephant!
