Victoria's Day (Rome)

VICTORIA

Themes: Victory; Success; Excellence

Symbols: Wings (or feathers); Laurel

About Victoria: Victoria, as her name implies, is the Roman goddess of attainment. Early in the year she inspires resolve within us to do everything we undertake, with excellence as a goal. In works of art, Victoria is often depicted with wings that allow her to surmount any obstacle or problem.

To Do Today: Drink a tea made from lemon balm, ginger, and a pinch of cinnamon to generate a successful attitiude. Remember: if you think you can, you can!

Put a bay leaf (a form of laurel) in your shoe so that Victoria's triumphant energy can walk with you all day long. Later in the day burn a few bay leaves on a fire source to fill your home with success. Alternative aromas that invoke Victoria's favor are rose and red sandlewood.

To make a victory charm, find a feather (or cut paper in the shape of a feather) and empower it with this incantation:

With the wings of Victoria, I will rise

above all areas where trouble lies.

Through diligence and mastery I will see

today begins my victory!

Carry this token anytime you fell your confidence waning, or when you need a boost to get over any seemingly insurmountable obstacle.
