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.
