The Wicca Book of Days for Aug. 3
Enlightening Eyebright
The Sun, this Leonian day’s “planetary” ruler, has always been associated with vision, for without artificial light, we can only see when it is shining, 
while many cultures have regarded the solar disk as the eye of a solar divinity, or of an all-seeing deity (Christianity’s God may be symbolized by the sun, for instance). Another aid to eyesight is the plant known as eyebright, or euphrasy, whose astringency is such that it is still used to treat weeping or infected eyes. Eyebright is furthermore said to sharpen one’s insight, leading to intellectual or spiritual illumination.
Weeding Out
Writing in the eighth century, the English monk and historian the Venerable Bede tells us that the Anglo-Saxon name for the eighth month of the year was Weodmonath, or “weed month.” Perhaps you should get rid of any unwanted plants today!
