Incense of the day: Almond In France, people hold a festival called the "Mothers of Arles." It is celebrated mostly by Gypsies who gather from all over Europe to honor the ancient ways. Three women dress up to represent the Goddess in her aspects of life, death, and beauty. Traditional activities include boating, processions, fortunetelling, street fairs, and weddings. Today is an auspicious day for handfasting. It is also a good time for festive gatherings. Get your witchy friends together and throw a Gypsy bash. Decorate the space with bright colors, glittery scarves, gold coins, and lanterns or candles. Crown three ladies as the aspects of the Goddess. Play Gypsy music and teach people traditional dance styles. Break out the tarot decks, tea leaves, and crystal balls. See who can tell the most outrageous fortunes! |
