New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Purim We hold a flaming candle of devotion and willing surrender as our Sun has moved into Pisces and the Moon shines full in Virgo. Virgo is the most feminine and receptive form of Earth. It is a powerful time in our yearly cycle to examine personal service and sacrifice. We recall the vestal virgins of ancient Rome who tended the hearth fires at the Temple of Vesta and kept them forever burning. We can use this time to consider what fire needs feeding in our own inner dwelling. Our physical bodies request our attention. Health, self-discipline, and practical application of skills are the principles we must manifest, embodying purity, duty, and order. Here we linger at the Temple of Vesta to make an offering at her altar. Think on what that offering might be from you. What is your willing sacrifice? What will you devote yourself to that requires self-care and inner healing? What service can you provide that honors the Earth? |
