The Christmas season is about to come to a conclusion. Church calendars in both the East and West proclaim today the ‘Feast of the Epiphany’ or ‘Three Kings Day’ when Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar followed a star to Bethlehem, offering gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Christ child. So many traditions consider today to be the last day of Christmas, one that has rituals and symbols of its own. Carolers can go from house to house singing out the holidays, and in some cases help to take down Christmas trees that will be part of a big bonfire. Prayers are said on this evening, and dried herbs are blessed and burnt so that both the aroma and the attached blessings could fill the home. Doorways would be sprinkled with holy water and the letters C + M + B (representing the Three Kings) and the year would be written in chalk above the door. Today you can burn some frankincense incense and say this special prayer to Sandalphon, an angel believed to weave the prayers of the faithful into a garland to offer at the feet of the Lord. We can engage in the blessed energies of this day by saying: ‘Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, I will show love. Where there is injury, I will heal. Where there is lack, I will fulfill. Where there is confusion, I see clearly. Where there is no heart, I will be one heart.’

Good Tuesday to you all! I hope everyone is having a great day. I know it is back to work. But there is a good news this week, it is a short work week. I am sure you have already figured that out, lol! I thought about doing something just for the fun of it but I didn’t know how you might react. You remember yesterday, I mentioned in one of my posts that the Twelve Days of Christmas started. Well I thought about take each day and tracking down a photo of that day’s gift and posting it. Then the next day take the previous day’s gift and add to it with the next day’s gift. I was just curious to see what a massive amount of gifts this person gave to his true love. I hope you don’t mind but after thinking about it, I think I will do it. I am sure after I start it your curiosity will get the best of you too. I have never been able to imagine that many gift and it is something I have always wanted to do. Who knows I might not be able to find twelve drummers drumming, lol! First, I got o track down the song, that is one I never learned in school. Anyway you know what I am up to now, on with the Magick……
