New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Brown
Incense of the day: Maple Ancient Romans honored their guardian house spirits at this time of year. To communicate with or to attract a house spirit, set a small, appealing statue in a special place in your home. Before it, place a small heatproof dish, and burn some of your favorite incense, saying: Welcome gentle spirit, guard my home. Please guard the cradle, hearth, and every room. House spirits love attention. Leave a bit of food or burn some incense in its bowl as an offering. At least once a year, usually in January, pay special tribute by serving your family a meal in your spirit's honor. Pork, wine, and cakes are appropriate items to serve. |
