About Uto: This ancient Egyptian goddess bears a name that means "green one."
She embodies the earth's regenerative force, specifically in its vegetation. Art often shows Uto in the form of a snake, ever transforming and renewing herself and the earth.
This tremendous magical power comes from being able to draw on the essence of creation and all that dwells therein.
As she wields this beneficial energy, she inspires today's activities by assisting our summer efforts to restore the planet.
To Do Today: I suspect this goddess inspired the creation of World Environment Day in 1972, specifically to increase enthusiasm for global environmental causes and natural restoration.
The United Nations continues to encourage its members to have special activities today that further earth-first thinking and world healing in all forms.
So, put on something green today, get outside, and get busy! Organize a recycling drive, pick up litter in a nearby park, plant some seedlings or trees, begin composting, make a donation to a reputable environmental group.
Anything you can do to help restore the earth's greenery honors and welcomes Uto's regenerative spirit to the earth.
Let her guide your hands and efforts today, flowing through you with healthy energy, ministering to the earth.
