About Mawu: Mawu arrives on an elephant's back, expectant with spring's creative energy.
Hers is a wise passion and a timely birth, being ruled by natural laws and universal order.
In Africa, she's a lunar-aligned creatrix who made people from clay. As a mother figure,
Mawu inspires the universe's abundance and every dreamer's imagination.
To Do Today: Rituals for Mawu rejoice in her life-giving energy, often through lovemaking.
In Africa, people take this seed generation literally and sow the fields, knowing that Mawu
will make the land fertile. So get yourself a seedling today and bring it into the house to
welcome Mawu and her creative powers. Name the sprout after one of Mawu's attributes
that you want to cultivate. Each time you water or tend the plant, repeat its name and
accept Mawu's germinating energy into your spirit.
Alternatively, get some nonhardening clay and begin fashioning a symbol of what you need.
Devote yourself to spending time on this over 28 days (a lunar cycle), until it's complete.
Each time you work, say,
Mother Mawu, make me whole,
help me obtain my sacred goal.
By the time this finished, you should see the first signs of manifestation.
