Happy New Year!
And happy new moon.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. And last night was a new moon. So tonight we celebrated.
We had eleven in our circle tonight. We honored the Goddess Fortuna and we made good luck bags.
Fortuna is the Latin goddess of luck and fate. In her honor we made these bags to carry for luck.
Each bag contains…
Ivy- Representative of the element of Earth and the color Green
Earth= health, wealth, prosperity, employment and fertility
Green= love, fertility, abundance, money, prosperity, luck, resurrection, rebirth, jealousy, teaching, learning, changing attitudes, environmental issues and peace.
Cinnamon- Cinnamon can be used to make charms to draw love, happiness, and money.
Cloves- Cloves bring good luck and prosperity. Cloves keep good friends close and stops malicious gossip.
All Spice- Allspice can be added to sachets to aid in attracting money and/or luck.
Clear Quartz- Clear quartz is a stone of manifestation. Hold the crystal with intent and focus. The crystal will remember and permeate any environment it is placed.
Whole Nutmeg- A whole nutmeg seed can be carried to bring luck during all games of chance from cards to Bingo to roulette. Nutmeg can also be carried as a charm to encourage a favorable decision in court cases and success in other legal matters. Nutmeg carried will also help to ensure good luck while traveling.
Once that was finished, a new member of our group, who is also my daughter, offered a seeker oath, binding her to learn for at least one year. If she has not committed after that she can part ways with the craft or choose to seek again. It is her choice. No one is forced into the craft. Not even my kid. Besides, she is 17 and does tae kwon do, she could probably take me if I tried to force her. And as a gift, she was given a red journal to use as she sees fit. It has dragons on it.
And since it was Lunar New Year, an Asian celebration, I made beef and broccoli and rice as well as egg drop soup.
Thank you all for coming. May the lady Fortuna follow you where ever you go.
Blessed be.
