Day Seven

Day Seven marks the first day of Sunrise, the celebration of the return of the sun. From this day forth, the days will be longer, and with that the Spring will eventually come.

The Sun rises victorious and glorious into the heavens, and with it the hopes of man. I am celebrating today with a good night of dancing, drinking, and fun, but also with offerings of scented candles to the Gods Apollo, Helios, Eros, and Selene as well as to the celestial aspects of Zeus, Athena, and Hera. Aphrodite of the people I will also celebrate, but perhaps I will keep that to myself.

My altars are ablaze with the light of candles, and my home smells of nag champa and various floral and spice incense.

I will dedicate my drink to Helios tonight, and to Selene the bright moon.

Blessings.
