Gold is stunning, captivating, and connected with the sun. Let’s celebrate gold, along with the element of water, used for panning, for this is Gold Rush Day, embodied by Agni.

The Indian deity Agni, god of fire, melded his powerful eyes with water from his semen to yield gold. Agni represents transformative energy. He cleanses all that is unlucky and foul. Agni represents immortality and the alchemy of fire and water.

For this ritual you will need:
* A red medium pillar candle
* 1/3 cup ghee (clarified butter)
* A golden fireproof plate
* 1/4 cup lightning water (rain collected during a lightning storm)

Take your red candle, which represents vitality, transformation, and passion, and dress it with ghee. To dress, focus on Agni’s powers and rub ghee from the center of the candle upward and then from the bottom of the candle to the center, all around the candle. Then light the candle and place it on a firesafe golden plate.
Recite:

Agni, this Gold Rush Day, I invite
your cleansing energy into my life.

Repeat twice more. After reflection, dip fingers of your dominant hand in the lightning water and snuff out the candle.
