Water Blessing

Incense of the day:  Bay laurel
 
On this day historically, Romans honored Volturnus, god of waters and fountains, with feasting, wine drinking, and games. Locate a suitable body of water, something you can stand in. If you live in a city, find a pool or fountain. If you live in the country, find a lake, river, or stream. Take a picnic of bread, cheese, and wine. Enjoy an early-evening dinner by the water. Satiated, take off your shoes and socks and stand or lie in the water. Then say:

"From the earth, this sacred water, Touched by sun, cleansed by fire."

Scoop up a handful of water, and blow on it. Say:

"Caressed by air and blessed by breath, Volturnus, be blessed."

This spot is made magical. You have invoked Volturnus and can return here anytime to honor the god of waters and fountains.
