Spell of Mid-Autumn

November 06, 2013 by Peg Aloi
Color of the day:  Brown
Incense of the day:  Bay laurel
 
This day marks the halfway point of autumn. As the days grow colder, shorter, and darker, it's important to take time to prepare for the coming winter. Most of us will spend less time outdoors, and may battle fatigue or occasional depression.
This spell will help you approach winter with enthusiasm and focus. Each day for the next week, light a candle at dusk. Look at the flame and say:

"Give light and the drakness will desappear."

Breathe slowly and let the candle's light fill you with warmth and hope. When winter's drab days threaten to overtake you, repeat the spell as often as needed.
