Moon Mondays: Setsubun

Instead of what you have been seeing on Moon Mondays I thought sharing one of the books that I buy every year would be better.  So each Monday I will be sharing 1 spell a week with you.  

Make every day magical with a spell from Llewellyn’s Witches’ Spell-A-Day Almanac. Spellcasters of all levels can enhance their daily life with these easy bewitchments, recipes, rituals, and meditations.

Susan Pesznecker, Tess Whitehurst, and other experienced magic practitioners offer simple spells for every occasion that require minimal supplies. For convenience, the 365 spells are cross-referenced by purpose: love, health, money, protection, home and garden, travel, and communication. Beginners will find advice on the best time, place, and tools for performing each spell. With space to jot down notes, this unique spellbook can be used as a Book of Shadows. There’s also astrological data and daily color and incense recommendations to enhance each day’s magic.

Color of the day: Gray Incense of the day: Neroli  Setsubun In Japan, Setsubun means "dividing the season,' and this tradition involves throwing roasted soybeans while shorting "In with good luck, out with demons!" This is a kind of symbolic spring cleaning ritual.  Today perform this ritual in order to clear negativiity from your environment. Visualize the end of winter and the beginning of spring (even though it's a but early in most areas).  Imagine the soybean bringing good health and vitality while chasing away any unwanted energy. You can freely toss soybeans around your home and yard, if you'd like, or choose a more methodical approach. Place a bean in each room, and as you set it in place, use this chant: Bring good fortune to this place. Purge all harm without a trace.  Ember Grant
