The Wicca Book of Days for Sunday, September 13th

 

Complicated Kannaz

The runic half-month assigned to Kannaz (which is also known as Kenaz, Kano or Cen) begins today, with its last day falling on September 27th. Exactly how this rune should be interpreted is uclear: runic scholars agree that it seems to suggest the idea of burning, but opinion is divided between the positive meaning of a flaming torch or the light of illumination and the negative connotation of a burning pain or fever, such as that induced by an ulcer, abscess, or infection. As Kano, this rune may furthermore point to the sacred vehicle associated with the Danish earth goddess Nerthus.

 

Magical Mandrake

If you can, procure some dried mandrake today. Sacred to Mercury, today’s planetary ruler, this emblem of the enchantress Circe is believed to contain the essence of magick itself, while its narcotic properties may be exploited by very skilled healers.
