Night of the Eternal Arrow
The eleventh night - January 4th
Zodiac: Sagittarius
Month: November
Siddhi: Gene Key 63 – Truth
Theme: The striving of the soul toward higher truth, aiming beyond illusion.
Practice: Imagine drawing an arrow of light, setting it toward a vision of your highest understanding. Release it with clarity and intention.
Journal: Which truths call to me most strongly this year, and how can I pursue them courageously?
Optional Wild Pagan Rite: Craft or hold a symbolic arrow or wand. Mark your direction for the year – north, south, east or west – and offer your breath to the wind. The old ones called this ‘setting your aim’ for the turning year.
