Whenever you are about to embark on a new enterprise, it is sensible to gain the blessing of a threshold deity. One such is Ganesha, the elephant-headed Hindu god. Find a postcard or statue of Ganesha, or of an elephant if you cannot find the god himself. Make a small offering such as a bowl of rice, a flower, or a cake to the deity by placing it before his representative and saying: "Lord of the Threshold, Remover of Obstacles, God of New Enterprises, enhance my endeavours with your golden blessings." If this does not bring you good luck, nothing will! |
