When I was a child - Sunday was church going day. My parents were losely Catholic, and my father liked to take us to "ye old Cathedral" for sunday mass, followed by lunch at Intercontinental Hotel. I enjoyed choosing my "sunday best" - which was how 'putting on your best frock for church' was described in our culture, and joining in the hymns (although they were never as good as hymns at school - because those, we practiced well, with harmony). I enjoyed even more my favourite Sunday lunch. Spaghetti bolognaise 🙂 followed by chocolate something or other. I was never truly Catholic and after I left home - I spent sometime exploring different spiritual formats until I found the perfect fit for me. Today - I am a progressive Wiccan (eclectic Wiccan, initiated and mostly solitary). AND - the Sabbath, is still a day of rest and spiritual reflection for me. Except now - instead of mass, I spend time in my garden keeping it in order with planting and trimming, and also, keeping an eye on the greenery that is a little further afield in our neighbourhood communal gardens. As a neo-pagan - my church is traditionally the outdoors in nature. And while I go about everything that I'm doing, I contemplate my spiritual path, with gratitude for the beauty & bounty, of nature and the earth, and thoughts of the spiritual correspondences with all the things that I encounter as I do my work. I may even sing as I do this. Today I have: -Bees - Potnia (Greek Mother Bee Goddess), Ah-Muzen-Cab (Mayan Bee God), Bees are the tears of Ra (Egyptian God), and - the magick of the bees - in Mead - the worlds oldest alcoholic drink. -Grapes - Dionysus (Greek God of wine), Bacchus (Roman God of wine), Hathor (Egyptian Goddess of fertility & love), Osiris (Egyptian God of the dead), Sky Spirits (Native American Iroquois, grapes were gifts from the Sky Spirits). -Butterflies - Psyche (Greek Goddess, guide of the dead), The fiery souls of Aztec warriors, & the returning souls of the departed (the Monarch Butterfly and Dia de los Muertos in Mexico). Zuni people (Native American) predicted the strength of summer by the first coloured butterfly they saw. -& Plums - Beauty in adversity, and the food of the Gods (Chinese), Ward/Amulet against evil (Japanese & English folklore). Sometimes on a Sabbath - I am actually in the company of other pagans, in ritual celebration. This is when I happen to find an open pagan moot (meeting), that I fancy attending. What are your Sunday Rituals?
