| Color of the day: White
Incense of the day: Gardenia Tuesday belongs to Mars. Relevant concerns include power, protection, warfare, and masculinity. The color of Mars is red-or rust, as from iron, which is the metal associated with this planet. Stones include ruby, garnet, and red jasper. Scents include dragon's blood, ginger, and myrrh. Protection à la Mars is the kind that believes the best defense is a good offense. Use this spell to guard yourself in a competitive work environment, rough sports, or other combative arenas where gentler protections would not suit. You'll need your athame and a pinch of dragon's blood. Sprinkle the red powder over the blade and say: Opponents beware! I come With bright blade and beating drum To conquer all that I see. My sword and my shield swing free; I give as good as I get. You can't win; I'll beat you yet! Whenever you feel threatened, visualize your athame parrying all attacks. |
