New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Janus is the two-faced god of the new year. One face looks ahead while the other looks to the past. The month of January takes its name from this Roman god-the god of gates and doorways, ending and beginnings. Today we have a waxing Moon and it's the first day of the week, so this is an opportune time to invoke Janus for putting the previous year behind us and welcoming the new opportunities. Light two white candles to symbolize new beginnings. Then repeat the charm:
Janus, two-faced god, keeper of the gates, I do now leave behind last year's mistakes. Help me to look forward and to begin anew, With prosperity, hope, and optimism true. By Sunday's magic this spell is spun, For the good of all, bringing harm to none. |
