Day of Artisans

Today (March 23) is the fifth day of the Quinquatria. A five day Roman festival to honor Minerva which coincides with the five day Ancient Greek festival to honor Athena - her Greek counterpart. Here is a ritual designed for group participation. It can, however, be modified for the solitary practitioner.

• Colors: Blue and brown
• Elements: Air and earth
• Altar: Upon a brown cloth light five blue candles, incense, and many tools of the crafter.
• Offerings: Make something.
• Daily Meal: Let those whose craft is cooking or baking make what they will as an offering.

Quinquatria Invocation III

Bones and clay of earth,

Flesh of trees and vines,

Thread from plant and animal...
