Color of the day: Green Incense of the day: Clove Add a light coat of magical "dressing" oil. You can buy this in many styles at a Pagan supply shop. If you want to make your own, a good carrier oil is almond oil, scented with a little oil of frankincense, benzoin, sandalwood, and myrrh. As you rub in the oil, say: "Sweet oil, bless this altar with power and keep it pure." Give the oil time to soak in. Cover your altar with an altar cloth. Ideally you should have ones to match the seasons, different deities or themes, etc. One good trick is to have a reversible God/Goddess cloth. Cover the altar and say: "Sacred cloth, shield this place from all negativity." Return your altar tools to their places. |
