About Phra Naret: In Thailand (formerly Siam), Phra Naret is the Goddess of Good Fortune, prosperity and beauty. Having been born of water, she flows into today's festivities with fertility and wealth.
To Do Today: This harming festival includes the launching of small boats filled with candles, incense, coins and gardenias on a nearby river. According to tradition should the candle stay lit until it stays out of site, the launcher's wish will come true. You can recreate this by using a stream of hose water, a raft of popsicle sticks or plywood and whatever tokens you want to give to Phra Naret to generate her luck in manifesting your wish. Just make sure you choose biodegradable items, since you need to let the raft flow out of your site so the magic can release itself. Anyone finding the wish boat will also be blessed with a wish and a little of Phra Naret's prosperity. Drink plenty of fresh water to internalize Phra Naret's positive attributes today and wash your floors with plain water so that her abundance and fertility will be absorbed into every part of your home. If you have plants, remember to give them a little water today too, so they can grow with this Goddess's profusion.
