Honoring the Three Fates

Color of the day:  Gray
Incense of the day:  Cedar
 
Called the Parcae (Roman), Moirae (Greek), or Norns (Germanic), the Fates are the controllers of destiny: one spins the thread of life, one measures it, and one cuts it. Today, therefore, this New Year's Day, is a day to open to the dance of free will and determinism. Allow yourself to find acceptance of what is and create intention around what will be. Call on the three Fates to work with you as you delve more deeply into your soul's purpose and put energy toward your heart's yearning:

O Fates! I call upon you to
witness my work;
I trust in your wisdom.
As I walk my path, I release
attachment to outcomes;
And I embrace the align
ment of my inner and outer
worlds.
Today, I make a commitment
to myself and all that makes
me Who I have been, who I am,
and who I will be.

Holiday lore: New Year's Day calls for safeguards, augurs, charms, and proclamations. All over the world on this day, people kiss strangers, shoot guns into the air, toll bells, and exchange gifts. Preferred gifts are herring, bread, and fuel for the fire.
