Color of the day: Green Incense of the day: Coriander Incense of the day: Coriander The Celts used a lunar-based calendar system, and there is a great deal of ancient evidence and modern folklore showing that the New Moon was the most sacred point of their lunar cycle. Their four holidays would have also taken place in conjunction with the New Moon. The appearance of the crescent New Moon after a sacred period of three dark days and nights was a powerful experience. When you see the New Moon, follow the Celtic tradition by bowing to the Moon and saying the following prayer: Hail to thee, thou New Moon, beautiful guide of the stars. Hail to thee, thou New Moon, loved one of my heart. If you have found me well tonight, seven times better may you leave me, Bright white Moon of the seasons, beautiful dear one of the skies! |
