Fornacalia - Day of the Ovens


The Fornacalia was held in honor of bread, and the ovens used to dry grains. This festival was movable, and could have been held any time between Febuary 5th to February 17th.
  • Color: Brown
  • Element: Fire
  • Altar: This ritual should be performed in the kitchen, with the altar built on top of the stove or inside the oven. Set a brown cloth with a red candle and many loaves of bread on wooden trays.
  • Offerings: Give some of the loaves of bread to those who have need of it.
  • Daily Meal: Everything baked - breads, cakes, pies, casseroles.

 Invocation to Fornax:

Goddess of the Oven
 Lady of Fire Enclosed...

I am so sorry to do this to you, but this post has been moved to my new website, The Pagan Calendar, and can be found in its entirety here: The Fornacalia
