New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Sukkot begins
Since ancient times, societies have worshipped and celebrated water with festivals and magical rites. On this day in ancient Rome, a festival known as Fontinalia honored fountains and fresh drinking water. Remnants of Pagan water worship can be found today in the form of holy springs and wells throughout Europe. Many of these sites are reported to have water that contains healing properties. To create your own water ritual, cover a table or altar with a blue cloth and in the center place a clear glass or crystal bowl. Fill with bottled spring water, then add a few pink rose petals and a tablespoon of rose water. Gently stir the water with your finger in a clockwise direction. Relax, and feel all the negative feelings you've had recently being absorbed by the loving vibrations of this healing water. Leave the water undisturbed overnight. The next day sprinkle the water about your yard, or gently pour it onto a grassy area. |
