Color of the day: Scarlet Incense of the day: Bayberry Incense of the day: Bayberry In Celtic tradition, the seasons associated with Beltane (May) and Samhain (November) were considered the most powerful times to perform divination. While certain divinatory rites were performed directly on the quarter days, other auspicious days associated with the lunar cycle were also utilized in the quest to gain sacred wisdom. Seers often petitioned the divine powers to help them deepen and develop these abilities. Here is a traditional charm used to obtain the power to drink from the vessel of truth: The gods above me, The gods below me, The gods before me, The gods behind me. See that I am on your path And know that you Are in my footsteps. Give me eyes to see my quest With a power that will Never fail or dim. Knowledge of truth, not Knowledge of falsehood, That I may truly see All in my path. |
