New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| In the ancient Roman culture, Terminalia was celebrated on this date, honoring the god Terminus, who ruled over boundaries and frontiers. Romans would pour libations on their stone boundary-markers to infuse them with magical energy for protection. They knew that healthy boundaries made for healthy relationships, and good fences made for great neighbors.
Whether you live in an urban apartment, in a village house, on a rural farm, or in shared community space, determine what the boundarymarkers are for your space, and infuse them with magical energy. Choose the appropriate libation: wine or ale, juice, or steeped herbal tea. Pour it into a glass or cup infused with your personal energy. Walk your boundary lines, stopping frequently to pour a few drops of liquid libation, incanting: "Terminus, be with me and protect this space. Establish good boundaries, good borders, good neighbors, and always a safe place." |
