Happy Fire Festival!
Today is the day mentioned in the sacred text “When The World Was Green” where devotees burn Cannabis in a large gathering as way of giving thanks to Her Holiness, Mother Earth and Father Sky.
Over the centuries and due to persecution the Fire Ritual has evolved into many forms depending upon how Cannabis has been viewed by the authorities at the time. Many people started to burn Joss Paper (ghost money) instead as to be caught in possession of Cannabis would result in persecution and being sent to re-education camps for example.
What should you be doing today? As described in the sacred texts we should be gathering together, burning Cannabis, praising and communing with Her Holiness together.
Princess Magu is a Goddess of great Mercy and Kindness who saved the slaves from under Her evil father and we are sure any offering you make to Her will be greatly received and She will bestow myriad blessings upon you.
