About Iduna: This Teutonic Goddess of longevity and love was born of flowers and lives in Asgard, protecting the magial apples of immortality.
The wife of Braggi, a poetic god, she joins in today's festival with her apples and Braggi's kind words to ensure lasting love.
To Do Today: Follow Cornwall customs. Polish an apple today, sleep with it under your pillow, and ask Iduna to bring you sweet dreams of love. At dawn, rise without speaking to anyone and go outside. The first person you see is said to be a future spouse (or friend, for those who are already married).
All types of apple magic are suited for this day. Peel an apple while thinking of a question and toss it over your shoulder. Whatever symbol or letter the peel forms represents your answer.
Eat the apple, then try composing some love poems for that special someone in your life!
Drink apple juice first thing in the morning, blessing it in Iduna's name, to improve your communications with all your loved ones. Enjoy a
slice of apple pie at lucnh to bring sweetness to your relationships and improve self-love. Come dinner, how about a side of applesauce to keep relationships smooth and empowered by Iduna's staying power?
