The Wicca Book of Days for Aug. 8 – Summer Gold

The Wicca Book of Days for Aug. 8

Summer Gold

 

Ancient astrologers no doubt assigned the marigold to Leo and its ruling “planet,” the sun , on account of the flower’s multitude of golden, ray like petals and its habit of opening at sunrise and closing at sunset. The seventeenth and eighteenth-century. English Fairfax Household Book advises preserving marigolds thus:  “dip the flower in Syrup consisting of Sugar Candy boiled, and open the leaves (petals) one by one…and as soon as they be dipped lay them in the Sun when it is in the height…and so you may keep them all the year.”

 

Eight & Eight

Focus on the energies that resonate from the number eight, which may be collectively symbolized by an octave of musical notes. Eight is also considered the number of Hermes Trismegistus, the mythical found of Alchemy, and of Thoth, the ancient Egyptian God of Magick.

Today’s Meditation for August 8

Your Inner Sanctuary

This is a place inside where you can go to reconnect with your spirit. Close your eyes and  visualize a tranquil landscape. In this place, imagine building a sanctuary that reflects the beauty of your spirit. The materials you require appear as if by magick. Once you have built, decorated and furnished your sanctuary, sit for a few moments inside. Feel peace descent as you connect with yourself once more.

Good Wednesday Morning, my friends!

Discovering The Best of Yourself

We are living at a time in which materialism has almost completely overtaken spiritualism. People have become disconnected from the rest of the world. The world neighbor has been replaced by the phrase the person who lives next door. The homeless are looked upon as an annoying presence that we step over in the street, not as desperate people in need. The old, the sick, and the dying are just a burden on society, so why should we reach out and help them? Unless we change our perception of those less fortunate than ourselves, we are doomed to live in a callous world in which there is no hope for change.

The thing about not being in touch with your spiritual side is that you really don’t know who you are and who you are capable of becoming. There may be aspects of your personality that you have no idea exist, and those aspects maybe important not only to you as an individual, but to the entire world.

We have to understand that the time for change has come. You are the New Age generation that can make a difference in the world. It’s time to step outside the box and inspire those who are not yet stimulated by intellectual curiosity.
