Goddess Of The Day: Flora
Floralia (Rome)

Themes: Beauty; Sexuality; Love; Spring; Fertility
Symbols: All Flowers

About Flora: Roman prostitutes considered Flora their own Goddess,
protecting all acts of beauty, especially heartfelt lovemaking. She is also
a spring goddess from whom we get the word flora, meaning blossom or plants.
Symbolically, this flowering pertains to the human spirit to, one that can
appreciate beauty in the body without necessarily making it into a sex
object.

To Do Today: Wearing bright colors on this day is customary, as is
decorating everything with a plethora of flowers, each of which has Flora's
presence within. If flowers prove difficult to obtain or too costly, think
floral aromas instead. Pull out a blossoming air freshener, light floral
incense, or wear a floral perfume. Flora is as much a part of the scent as
she is the petals, conveying love and passion on each breeze!

Another traditional activity for this day is erotic dancing. If you have
someone special in your life, tantalize them a bit with slow, sexy
movements. Let Flora's passion fill both of you to overflowing, then let
nature take her course.

Finally, make yourself a Flora charm that incites the interest of those from
whom you seek it. Take three flower petals and tuck them in your clothing,
keeping an image of your partner in mind, and say,

One for interest,
two for Flora's desire,
three to light passion's fire.
