FACE NORTHWEST

DAY l (SATURDAY) DEMETER

The Night of Ourania (feminine of Uranus) is properly the time for Cosmic Communion, which may commence about 9 p.m. Also, it is the time for deep meditation; for immersive Coven huddling, cuddling, touching, sustained caress and massage; for psychometrizing and cosmic blessing of Faerie charms in the Ring; for determining the Magical Motif of the Week; for contemplation of the Heavens.

OURANIA-APHAIA-PHERAIA-DESPOINA (means: Lady Mistress)-TONANTZIN (a Nahuatl cognate of the Great Goddess)! I (WE) DEDICATE THIS DAY TO THEE AND TO THINE OWN LAND-SKY-LOVE-BODY OF DEEP HEAVEN, ALL STARS, ALL GROUNDS AND MATRICES OF EXISTENCE, THE GEOSPHERE, POLAR ICE CAPS, TUNDRA, AND ALPINE FELL.

(Muse on these Nature Realms, especially the examples you actually have experienced. Read about them and consult photographs of them. Build a repertoire of visionary Landscapes you may enter astrally by learning available Nature places quite literally by Braille.)

BLESSED BE THY FAERIE REALMS. THEY WILL GROW IN WILDNESS AND LOVE EVEN AS THEY SUFFUSE MY (OUR) PRESENCE WITH JOY AND WILDERNESS WISDOM. GRANT ALL WILDLINGS IN THESE REALMS THRIVE, FIND FULFILLMENT AND REBIRTH.

I (WE) BESTOW MY (OUR) GENIUS AND LOVE UPON THESE REALMS AND ALL THEIR WILDLINGS.

DAY 3 (MONDAY) ARTEMIS, FAERIE DIANA

GROUND STAR Magic —

Gather herbs on this Day, the kind depending on whether the Moon is waxing or waning. The Night of Dione-Artemis is properly the time for Kore Communion: Faerie Flight, Astral Wayfaring and Skrying into the psychic “Nightside” of the Wildrealms you are visiting and potentiating magically. About 9 in the evening let your circle lie in Star formation on the ground or floor, heads together at the center, arms or hands loosely touching all around. Envision the Holy Maiden of Wildness, and follow Her out into the Faerie Realms of Nature. In Nature places you have learned well from regular visits, see what visionary Beings join you when you follow the Faerie Princess there imaginatively and astrally. This Night is also a good time to trance-dance for specific magical purposes.

DAY 7 (Friday) KRONOS-ZEUS

This is properly the Day for constructing and Blessing Faerie charms of Wilderness. Also, it is a good time to inquire, through the Muse, concerning the needs of Great Nature in your region; to study Nature; to survey the Landforms with an eye to Service; to continue work on long term ecological projects and sizable forest facilities. Kronos favors mantic and mythopoeic geodesy (for example, magical and poetic place naming and re-naming; determining the temperament, inner disposition, and spiritual import of Landforms) and ritual Landscape Ensoulment. Therefore Kronos Day is also opportune for establishing the greater Soul Lines that link nuclear Landscape Shrines by way of InterHenge Magic. With maps, consider how greater Landforms may determine patterns of incantatory Henge “broadcasting,” how they link Seasonal Rays of different Henge centers into one vast and significant “network” for co-ordinating Land Sky Love Blessings on a continental scale.

KRONOS-ZEUS! I (WE) DEDICATE THIS DAY TO THEE AND TO THINE OWN LAND-SKY-LOVE-BODY OF TAIGA, CONE FORESTS, ALL CONIFERS, HIGH CLIFFS AND PALISADES, TALUS, RUGGED PIONEER NATURE COMMUNITIES, ALL SERES (ecological successions), WEATHER FORMATIONS.

4PM – MIDNIGHT – END OF WEEK:

NAMELESS MAIDEN ¶,DIVINE SOURCE OF BEING ¶ LIFE ¶and LOVE ¶

If for any reason, in a given Day, you cannot perform the full complement of Feraferian Enchantments - remember, Feraferia actually means Nature Celebration - then make certain a full complement is enacted for each Goddess and God at least ONCE in a given Tree Month of the Visionary Nature Calendar (see Section 4-3 and 4-4, The Ancient and Sacred Tree Alphabet Calendar, in The Book of Feraferia).

However, each Day the Shrine, or Temple, should be enriched with the Sign of the Phytala, the KORE Incantation, and a hearty salute to the Divinity of the Day and Her or His Wildrealms. Whenever you approach or depart the Shrine, blow a kiss from your palms toward the icons and charms, and/or make the Sign of the Phytala.
