Light A Candle Today!

In many different traditions lighting a candle is a sacred action. It expresses more than words can express. It has to do with gratefulness. From time immemorial, people have lit candles in sacred places. You may want to begin or end your day by the sacred ritual of lighting a candle on this gratefulness. Or you may want to light a birthday candle for a friend. One single guideline is all you need: Slow down and do it with full attention.

*Health Day (Japanese)

*Feast of the Charities--Day to honor the Old Greek Goddesses of beneficence.

*Feast of Old Greek Goddess Aphrodite--Day to honor peace and compassion.

*Festival of Light - Throughout the country of Brazil, the annual Festival of Light begins on this date. The centuries old festival, which is celebrated for two consecutive weeks, includes a parade of penance and the lighting of candles, torches, and hearth-fires to symbolically drive away the spirits of darkness who bring evil and misfortune.

*21 days until Samhain!
