Sit, listen to the wind, birds and trees. Allow the beauty and chaos that is nature to enter and propel you through this time we call life. Breath in the smells of an open fire place and a camp fire. Know the difference they have on you and your surroundings. Give with an open heart and mind. Know that there are richer and poorer. But never measure those two thoughts by the amount of money one has. For richness is how you live and give of yourself, not what you have.

Thor's Day
Today is Thursday, February 7th, the 38 day of the year. There are 328 days left in the year. The next sabbat, Ostara, is in 41 days. There will be a full moon in 17 days. Today's color is green, the planet is Jupiter (elements of air and water) the incense today are cedar, nutmeg, cloves and myrrh.
Your activity is to bake up some whole wheat bread and bless it for abundance. Be sure to thank the gods for your family and your good health.
Carry a turquoise tumbled stone in your pocket to draw a little protective and healing energy your way.
On this date (approximately), the annual spring fertility festival known as Li Chum is celebrated in China. Bamboo and paper effigies of a water buffalo (an animal which symbolizes "new life") are carried through the streets by a temple-bound procession. After reaching the temple, the effigies are set on fire in the belief that prayers for prosperity will be taken up to heaven by the rising smoke.
