Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

It's Monday...


Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day
Is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

Monday: An Luain or Dé Luain (Irish)— Latin Lunae, "of the Moon"
monandaeg (Anglo-Saxon)
montag (Germanic)
dies lunae (Latin)
som-var (Hindu)
peer or somwar (Islamic)
lundi (French)
getsu youbi (Japanese)

Monday is traditionally viewed as the second day of the week and "the day of the moon"

It was believed by ancients that there were three Mondays during the year that were considered to be unlucky: first Monday in April, second in August and last in December.

Mondays are for women's mysteries, illusion, prophetic dreaming, emotions, travel, fertility, cooking, family, the home, intuition, medicine, spiritual growth and the ocean.

Some suggestions for Monday would be to:

Get outside and look for the moon in the heavens to bring you wisdom and insight.

Empower your silver jewelry under the light of the moon. Wear moonstone or pearl jewelry today to add a lunar and magical shimmer to your outfit. Be mysterious and subtle and wear moon-associated colors such as white, silver, and blue.

Gather bluebells, jasmine, gardenias, or white roses, flowers that are associated with the moon.

Eat a lunar fruit such as a melon to be healthy, serene, and at peace.

Brew a cup of chamomile or mint tea for sweet dreams and restful sleep.
