Goddess Of The Day: Erzulie
Peppercorn Ceremony (Bermuda)
Themes: Prosperity; Abundance; Love
Symbol: Blue
About Erzulie: This Haitian Love Goddess extends her beneficent springlike energy
whenever we need it, especially when our pockets or hearts are empty. When life gets out
of kilter, petitioning Erzulie sets everything back on track, slowly but surely. Blue is Erzulie's
sacred color, and she's sometimes called "the loving one".
To Do Today: Use peppercorns somehow, of course! This festival began in 1816 when the
mayor of Bermuda was given use of the state house for the annual rent of one peppercorn.
This rent must be delivered annually, and with all due pageantry, to preserve the island's
prosperity beneath Erzulie's watchful gaze. For us this might translate into eating a
peppercorn dressing on a green salad (lettuce represents money) to internalize financial
abundance, or keeping a peppercorn in your wallet to safeguard your money and its flow.
Definitely wear blue today to catch Erzulie's attention, and add blue foods to your
diet--blueberries, blue juice drink, or even blue colored water. You can also encourage
Erzulie's blessing through selfless actions. Give a friend a hug, pamper your pets, take
the kids out for some quality time, and remember to kiss your partner goodbye in
the morning. You'll feel better and find your heart naturally filling with Erzulie's love.
