The Wicca Book of Days for Tuesday, November 3rd

Fire Power

This is a day on which we commemorate those who been persecuted, even murdered, for their unorthodox beliefs and especially those accused of witchcraft and tortured for their “crimes.” The first recorded execution of a witch in Ireland took place on this day in 1324, when Petronellla de Meath, the servants of (and perhaps a scapegoat for) alleged murderess Lady Alice Kytelet, was burned to death. Outsiders and unorthodox characters, especially women, were often demonized in olden times.

 

Barley Broth

This nourishing grain was sacred to Demeter, the Greek goddess of fertility and the harvest, and is a stape grain at harvest time in many countries. Feed your lover a hearty soup made with this ancient aphrodisiac to boost his or her vitamin E level and to kindle the flames of your romance.
