About Diana: This Roman goddess embodies the moon's fertility and watery aspects, along with the sun's protective and nurturing power over the forests and its creatures. On this day she was celebrated in Rome, and she will be remembered in our hearts as the huntress who helps us capture the spiritual "food" we need.
To Do Today: Starting on August 13, the Romans had a weeklong festival for Diana, praying to her for the harvest's bounty, and to turn damaging storms away. The traditional place to leave an offering of fruit or vines for her is in the forest, or at a crossroads. As you do, if any stone or leaf catches your eye, pick it up and carry it as a charm that will keep Diana's power with you that entire day. Come night, release the gift to flowing water or back to the earth with a prayer of thanks and a wish for one of Diana's attributes that you wish to develop in your life.
