Looking through the book, by Lady Sabrina, Celebrating Wiccan Spirituality, today marks the beginning of the 8-day feast of Parentalia (Roman tradition).
The Vestal Virgin performed a rite in honour of the diseased. For 8 days, families in Rome would pay tribute to the ancestors gone before them, which included leaving gifts and offerings at the graves of loved ones. The importance of this festival was marked during this feast by the closing of temples, marriages were postponed and magistrates didn't sport the official insignia.

Dream Magics
Dreams are thought to be a way to see future events and mirrors the soul. Some traditions believe dreams to be visions of the past or what will come in the future. Spiritual people use dreams to interpret their personal issues and to aid spiritual awareness.
Dream Pillow
Items Required:
- A piece of soft fabric 10" x 10"
- Needle & thread
- 1 cup mugwort
- 1 cup mint
- 1 cup chamomile
Fold the cloth in half (shiny or patterned-side facing inside) and stitch 3 sides together.
Turn the fabric inside-out so that the pattern or shiny side is showing.
Put the ingredients inside in the pillow.
Stitch up the 4th side of the pillow.
Place the herb-pillow inside your pillow case.
Before bed, reflect on the day's events, then ask Faunus (in your own words) to bring you visions of the future.
