About Rangda: A witch goddess in Bali, Rangda takes on a function many
witches throughout history, that of a woman's helpmate, especially in
conception. To men, Rangda offers physical fertility or improved energy for
magical workings.

To Do Today: Now that the earth is fertile, Rangda's power is even more
abundant. To commemorate this and generate some literal or figurative
fertility in your life, do as the Balinese do. Wear saffron-dyed (yellow)
clothes, and leave Rangda an offering of fruit or flowers somewhere special.
As you do, pray for an unborn child's well-being, for pregnancy, or for
fruitful productivity in whatever area of your life needs it most.

Rangda can fulfill your desire for successful living. To manifest her
profuseness, take a round watermelon and cut it in half. Make melon balls,
and add any other round-shaped fruit (especially tropical fruit). Before
eating, add this incantation:

Rangda, fulfill me; Rangda, complete me.
As my hunger is filled, let my spirit find satisfaction.

Eating the fruit salad internalizes her sweet, helpful energy.

Finally, to invoke Rangda's blessing and aid in conception, decorate your
bedroom with yellow highlights before making love. Find a yellow light
bulb, put yellow-toned sheets on your bed, and place yellow flowers (or
hibiscus) by the bed.
