Night of the Shimmering Scales
The ninth night - January 2nd
Spirit of balance, guide me to walk
Zodiac: Libra
Month: September
Siddhi: Gene Key 6 – Peace
Theme: Cosmic balance of light and shadow, freedom and destiny – inner harmony as a living experience.
Practice: : Hold your hands as if weighing your inner and outer life. Sense equilibrium settling in your chest and mind. Let your posture, breath and thoughts reflect harmony.
Journal: Where can I cultivate more balance in my decisions, relationships or work this year?
Optional Wild Pagan Rite: Offer grains or fruit on a plate to both sides of your altar – one for light, one for shadow. Speak a blessing for both. This honours the old teaching that all forces, bright and dark, sustain creation together.
