New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Crimson
Incense of the day: Apricot November's Full Moon, the Frost Moon, beckons us to look deep within. Occurring during the month when the Sun is in Scorpio, the Frost Moon is a potent time to look beyond the obvious. Nature seems to be dying. Dry leaves click as they skitter along country lanes and suburban streets. And during the chilly nights, the ebony darkness is pierced by the eerie sound of a hooting owl. But take a closer look and you'll see nature is only resting. Tree branches are covered with buds containing next year's flower and leaf. In the following spell take advantage of this transitional period to set your goals for the future in motion. Cut three bud-covered tree branches and tie them together with green ribbon. After dark, stand outdoors beneath the Frost Moon. Carry with you the bundle of branches and a silver coin: they symbolize growth and success. Looking at the Moon, speak your most secret wish. With deep reverence raise the coin and branches and speak this charm: All nature is still, But as the world retreats into darkness My wish will be nurtured, And eventually fulfilled. Keep your coin and branches until the spell does its work. |
