Calendar of the Sun for August 15 Calendar of the Sun Feralia: Day of Purification Color: White Element: Air Altar: On a white cloth put a lit candle, incense, a cup of water, and a bowl of salt. Offering: Although this day is not a day of total silence, it is a solemn day and talking should be done only when necessary and in quiet tones. Bodies should be thoroughly cleaned during the bathing hour, and then the altar area should be cleaned and purified with all four elements. Each person, upon entering the altar space at the beginning of Sponde should remove their clothing and be naked, and each body should be purified with the four elements and marked with water and salt, at which point they may enrobe again. Chores of the day should concentrate on cleaning and repair. Daily Meal: Vegan and extremely simple and plain. Feralia Invocation Breathe the air into your body And breathe out again, And as you breathe out, Let all grime and corruption Depart on that breath (All breathe together for twelve breaths.) Feel the blood coursing through your body And imagine it clean Of anything but what should be there. Feel the energy coursing through your body And wash it clean Of anything that does not belong. Feel the Earth beneath you, Remember that She can absorb all Remember that all rot is her provenance Draw her energy up into you And give it back again. (After this grounding, all breathe together again in a yogic breathing pattern for the next half an hour, after which all will go with water and salt and incense and fire to all rooms in the house and cleanse them. Great care should be taken for the rest of the day not to disturb the energy of the freshly cleaned house.) [Pagan Book of Hours]
