Blessed Be ...Today is Monday, January 9th, We Celebrate….

Festival of Jana and Janus (Rome)
JANA

Themes: Lunar Energy; Perception

Symbols: The Moon; Silver or Shiny Items

About Jana: This Roman goddess, whose name means “luminous sky,” shines her light on the new year, extending improved insight and awareness as we move ahead. She is strongly associated with Juno and Diana and was often invoked before any other goddess in important undertakings. Traditional offerings to Jana included wine, incense, and barley.

To Do Today: To get Jana’s attention and assistance in any magic you have planned today, wear a piece of silver-toned jewelry or clothing (silver is the color of the moon).

For increased discernment to guide your actions in the months ahead, go outside with a silver-toned coin. Hold this to the moon, saying,

Jana, through the darkness and
through the day,
Light my path and guide my way.

Carry this token with you. Touch it and recite the incantation anytime you feel your judgment wavering.

To improve your awareness of personal lunar attributes (sensitivity, intuition, and the like), burn a stick of jasmine incense or any sweet scent and meditate. Get comfortable, visualizing a full moon pouring its light into the area of your third eye. If it helps your focus, chant

Jana, Juno, Diana, awake in me.

Make notes of the experience and any insights that come.
