New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Brown
Incense of the day: Dill The only evidence that Saint Patrick ever existed is based on his supposed autobiography discovered some five hundred years after it was written. Most likely Saint Pat is really a Christianized version of the shamrock god, Trefuilngid Tre-eochair, "Triple Bearer of the Triple Key." The god is described in The Yellow Book of Lecan as a giant man, thirty feet high, with waist-length golden hair. He carried a sacred branch-the triple key on which grew hazelnuts, apples, and acorns-and is said to have brought the art of storytelling to the Irish. As you celebrate Saint Patrick's Day, use the energies of these three fruits in your magical workings today. Hazelnuts bring wisdom and luck, apples bring romance, and acorns bring prosperity. |
