New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: Red
Incense of the day: Basil St. Martha, whose feast day is celebrated today, won fame for subduing a dragon that terrorized the villagers of Provence back in 48 CE. Ever since, people in need of strength have prayed to her. For this spell, you'll need a green candle, a small dragon figure, and a likeness of St. Martha. Arrange these items on your altar. Place the image of Martha in the south quadrant of your altar, the direction of will. Write down the bad habit you wish to rid yourself of on a slip of paper. Hold the paper in your dominant hand as you light the candle. Say: "St. Martha, I ask for your aid and protection. As you did overcome the dragon, I ask you to help me overcome my [name your habit]." Now visualize your day without the drag of your habit. Remember, it's important to replace your bad habit with a different, more healthy activity. Spend at least five minutes at the start of your day and five minutes at the end of the day doing this visualization. Carry the dragon as a reminder that you've overcome your addiction. |
