One of my goals (for myself and for the planner) is to lean into more Saint work this coming year. While I’ve been a BVM (Blessed Virgin Mary) stan since childhood, I only got into the Saints a few years ago. It started when Saint Cyprian got really popular among magicians… and was totally not that into me (fine dude, whatever). The RuneSoup saint course was my doorway into some other amazing mighty dead witches and magicians (who happen to be Saints) including Saint Thecla, Saint Hildegard, and Saint Martha. Bad asses!
For the planner, I’m adding more saint days to the listings, focusing on ones where I can squint and see power, initiation, and magic between the lines.
Which brings us to Wednesday the 8th, a day for Opening Locks. Originally I had this day marked for divination (with the Moon in Virgo on Mercury’s day and Mercury happily direct again) but then I found Saint Josephine Bakhita, patron saint of victims of human trafficking (and just a stunning and moving story of strength and faith). This could be an amazing day to enchant for the freedom of all people all around the globe and even to donate to charities like the Freedom Fund.
If you want something from Mercury, I can tell you from personal experience that They really appreciate donations as offerings. So it’s a win-win.
This next week is absolutely chock full of amazing Saints days, including days for healing, help for children, and the weirdest manifestation of the BVM (our Lady of Lourdes - basically a prophetic UFO in Marian form). Check out the planner for more!
