Oh joy… It is Monday… How long is it until Friday? Admit it, we have all felt this way one time or another… maybe often. And we also have popular songs that express the “blues” we feel on Monday, like “Manic Monday”, “Monday, Monday”, and of course “Rainy Days and Mondays”. But does it really have to be that bad? Let us take a look at the positive side of Monday!
Monday is ruled by the energy of the Moon, and many beliefs see the Moon as a representation of the Goddess, the divine feminine, mother, and sometimes grandmother.
Motherhood evokes feelings of love, comfort, nurturing, healing.
Mondays are wonderful days to focus on these things. Take at least some time for yourself today. Take a short walk in nature, spend some time in meditation, take a nice relaxing bath or shower. You may find that the energy of Monday can offset the anxiety and stress placed on the day by our society. The Empress Tarot card promotes these thoughts as well. Connect with the creativity present in nature, engage your senses, and reconnect with your own creativity.
Many also see the Moon as mysterious and magickal. Because the Moon’s light is reflected and softer rather than direct and harsh, it gives a new perspective to our surroundings, to see things in a different way. The High Priestess card shows us these aspects of Monday. Take a few moments to be still and quiet. Listen to your instincts, your intuition, your inner self.
We infuse each of our Monday day of the week candles with all these aspects. Our candles are dipped or molded with white wax to represent the soft reflected light of the Moon. To the tealights, we add the alchemical symbol for the Moon to the top of the candle for an extra boost.
Lighting one of our Monday day of the week candles can help bring this energy to bear for you. Add one to your altar on Monday as a petition. Light one to help you to focus on the energy of the day. Use one to add an extra boost when performing your magickal works on Monday.
You can find Monday taper candle pairs, and our Day of the Week tealight sets (including one tealight for each day of the week) in our shop on our website www.magickalcandlez.com.
