Purify for Health
February comes from the Latin februarius, meaning "to purify." Spend a
day thinking about what you eat. Go one entire day without eating junk
food. Concentrate on raw fruits and vegetables, and drink lots of
water. At the end of the day, sit before your altar with a yellow
candle, and meditate on how you feel, identifying the strengths and
weaknesses in your eating habits. As a reminder of a healthy
lifestyle, create an amulet. Wrap a piece of either citrine quartz,
carnelian, or pyrite in yellow cloth, along with six whole sunflower
seeds or cloves, a pinch of dried basil, and a pinch of dried marigold
petals. Smudge the amulet with incense, and anoint it with orange or
lemon oil.
