The Wicca Book of Days for July 18
XVIII: the Moon
Take advantage of the energies of this, the eighteenth day of a largely luna
r-ruled month to immerse yourself in the symbolism of the Tarot card of the Moon (XVIII). Most versions of this major-arcana card include a full and crescent moon in one (denoting the changing faces of the Goddess), a dog or two (signifying the Greek Crone, Goddess Hecate, who is accompanied by howling hounds), and a crayfish (representing the zodiacal sign of Cancer). These details open up a plethora of possibilities, but the card’s overall meaning points toward dreams, instincts, and the unconscious.
Happy Returns
Join many Wiccans today in paying tribute to Nepthys or Nebet-Het, today, for July 18 is said to be this Egyptian Goddess’s birthday. As a deity associated with darkness and death, Nepthys was considered a protector of those who had died and were awaiting rebirth.
