Thinking of planning a vacation? Today is Wednesday and a brand-new waxing moon—a perfect day to cast a spell to help manifest your dream holiday.

Hermes is the Greek god of transition, travel, and crossing boundaries, and is said to be able to move freely between this world and the afterlife. A symbol of Hermes is the winged sandal: what better image to symbolize you taking flight on a holiday than that?

For this spell you will need some yellow felt and thread, a feather, and a small toy doll’s shoe ( plastic is fine).

Cut a small rectangle out of the felt, and sew the feather and shoe inside of it like a sachet. As you do so, see yourself enjoying your dream vacation, no matter how fanciful or far away. At dusk or dawn (times of transition and movement), tuck the charm away with your luggage or with the clothing you’d wear on your holiday to carry your intentions off to the gods of travel.
