Owning My Magic

 


Magic is all around me but often times I forget that!  I’m thinking that I should intentionally inject some magic into every day.  And how will I do that?  Well, that’s the fun part of this adventure.  The magic may be something I remember my mom doing or saying.  The magic could be some folk remedy or Goddess ritual I had been reading about.  The magic could mine, straight from my heart!

Today is June 1. 

Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     On the first day of the month these words are said, first thing, to insure luck and prosperity all month long.

I decided to find out, why rabbit?  It seems that no one really knows but there are bunches of hunches.  I like the theory that the ancient Celts believed that rabbits communicated with the spirits because they burrowed underground.  Rabbits could bring your messages straight to where they needed to go. 

What if “rabbit” doesn’t happen to be the first word out of my mouth on the first of the month (coffee is usually the first thing I mutter in the morning)?   All is not lost.  If you say it backwards you are safe, so “tibbar, tibbar”

Fun tidbits: 

                                                                                                                                               The great comedian Gilda Radner said, “Bunny, bunny” for a month of laughter, love, and peace.    Some folks say “rabbit” 2 times, some 3.  Others say “white rabbit.”      

There are also folks that say “hare, hare” before they fall asleep on the last day of the month to have good luck.

Rabbit, rabbit! May you enjoy a peaceful month!
