New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Yellow
Incense of the day: Pine January is rough. It's cold and dark, and winter doldrums can set in. This is just the right time for a spell of creativity enhancement. Everyone is creative. Some can sing and dance, others have a green thumb or a way with animals. Some are wordsmiths or good cooks; others are good at magic. Begin by drawing a symbolic picture of yourself with some images representing the talents you'd like to develop. Draw yourself writing in your journal, or taking photos, or working in your garden. Next, create a small altar in a place that you see every day. Place the drawing on your altar with some other items symbolizing the talents you wish to enhance. Be creative with this-use a packet of seeds, a paintbrush, or a favorite CD as symbols. Wednesday is Mercury's day, of new beginnings and creativity. Light a yellow candle, visualizing yourself doing what you love. Each day take some time, even if only a few minutes, to practice your talent. Place offerings on the altar-flowers, fruit, wine, stones-that further symbolize your resolve to nurture your burgeoning talents. |
