Goddess~A~Day 9/5

Labor Day (United States)

Ka-blei-jew-lei-hat

Themes: Work; Rest; Recreation; Prosperity

Symbols:  All the Tools of Your Trade

About Ka-blei-jew-lei-hat:  The Assam goddess of the marketplace and merchants takes a much-deserved rest from her labors today and focuses on rewarding tasks that have been well done throughout the last eight months.

To Do Today:  For most folks in the United States, Labor Day represents a long weekend without normal workaday activities.  From a  magical perspective, this holiday offers us a chance to thank Ka-ble-jew-lei-hat for our jobs (which keep a roof overhead and food on the table) and ask for her blessing on the tools we use regularly.  A secretary might empower his/her pen and steno pad; a musician can charge his/her instrument; a shopkeeper might anoint the cash register; a book clerk might burn specially chosen incense near goddess-centered books (and in the business section), and so forth.

Some potential herbal tinctures and oils to use for inspiring Ka-blei-jew-lei-hat's prosperity and watchfulness include cinnamon, clove, ginger, mint, orange, and pine.  To partake of the goddess's abundance by energizing your skills with her magic, blend all of these (except pine) into a tea!

This goddess can help with job searches, too.  Just tell her your need, then review the newspaper to see what companies catch your eye.  Then get on the phone or get the resume out so Ka-blei-jew-lei-hat can open that doorway.
