New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Brown
Incense of the day: Sandalwood With the coming of February comes the Sun. It is growing stronger with each day. We also now honor the Irish goddess Brigid who holds the eternal flame of inspiration, transformation, and personal sovereignty. To ignite Brigid's eternal flame within yourself, you will need a white candle, preferably a large one with a firm foundation. You'll also need matches and an item that reminds you of a specific goal you want to achieve in the coming spring and summer. Sit on a chair or on the floor, placing the unlit candle in front of you. Take time to center yourself, focusing on connecting with Brigid's powers, while you also visualize her fire rising within you. When you are ready, light the candle and say: Blessed Brigid of the golden flame, Hear me as I call your name; I invoke your spirit to burn in me, All I will, precious Lady, so it must be. Keep your eyes open and gaze into the hazy yellow color of the flame's aura. (If you're sitting too close to the candle, gazing into the flame itself can harm your eyes.) Visualize the powers of inspiration, transformation, and personal sovereignty burning within you. When you feel you've been successful, offer your thanks to Brigid and extinguish the candle. Keep it covered and in a safe place so you can enact this spell whenever you feel you need the power of Brigid in your life. |
