Calendar of the Moon 23 Ruis/Poseideion Night of Dark Magick II: Turning of Anger Colour: Dark red Element: Water Altar: Upon cloth of dark red place five red candles, a bowl of scented oil, and many smooth stones in a bowl of river water and salt. Offering: Let go of anger toward someone. Daily Meal: Fasting tonight, until the morning. Dark Magick Invocation II Anger comes for us like a beast, And prowls through our depths, Waiting to leap out at the slightest provocation. Yet though we cannot cast out this beast, We can sweeten its food, We can soothe its bitterness, We can gladden its heart. May anger turn to solace now, By the work of our own hands. Call: Now anger melt in tears of salt, Be turned to love by this sweet salve. Response: Now anger melt in tears of salt, Be turned to love by this sweet salve. (Each should take a stone from the altar and hold it to their breasts, placing some of their wrath into it, and then each should anoint it with scented oil, and take it with them to their beds to sleep the night. The next morning they should be placed outside in the garden. After anointing the stones, all join in a wordless musical chant.)
