Today's Goddess: ANAITIS

Sacaea (Babylon)

Themes: Spring; Relationships; Equality; Fertility; Sexuality

Symbols: Green Branches; Water

About Anaitis: This Babylonian Goddess of fertility embraces the attributes
of fruitful, warm waters that flow from the celestial realms into our lives,
especially as the earth is renewed. Her name translates as "humid immaculate
one," and art shows her as a strong maiden who creates life and pours out
blessings. During the height of Babylonian civilization, she was also the
patroness of civic prostitutes.

To Do Today: This day marked the Babylonian new year, during which time
heaven and earth were considered married. Therefore, this is an excellent
date to plan a wedding, hand fasting, or engagement, or just to spend time
with someone you hold dear. Bring them a small green branch from a tree to
extend Anaitis's love and equality into your relationship.

Traditional roles are often reversed today to emphasize fairness between
people. So, if you are normally passive in your interactions, become a
little more aggressive. As you do, feel how Anaitis's passion and energy
flow through you.

To increase passion or sexual confidence, take a warm bath before meeting
your partner. Perhaps add some lusty aromatics to the water (cinnamon,
vanilla, mint or violet) to put you in the right frame of mind. Let
Anaitis's water stimulate your skin and your interest, and enjoy!
