Color of the day: White Incense of the day: Balsam Color of the day: White Incense of the day: Balsam The feast day of Hildegard of Bingen is celebrated today. "The Sybil of the Rhine" composed music and wrote seventy poems and nine books in the twelfth century. In a time when 30 was the life expectancy, 42-year-old Hildegard experienced visions that became the source for her music and writings. What greater inspiration for those of us considering a career change late in life? As you play a recording of her chants, arrange an altar with a cloth of rainbow colors and candles of various hues. In the center of the altar, secure a yellow candle in your cauldron and surround it with quartz crystals. Light the candle and say: Hildegard, help me find inspiration. Help me realize that it's never too late to become the person I've always dreamed of. In the coming months, help me to hold true to my higher self. |
