Saint George's Day arrives next Friday, April 23, where the death of the martyr soldier is commemorated. In Spain, this day is celebrated especially in Catalonia and Aragon, since it is the patron of many of its cities and is also considered the one for lovers. On April 23 we can make requests for protection, strength, justice, purification ... We explain how!
Saint George was born in the third century and was a young Christian soldier well known for his bravery and strength in the battles he fought. He was beheaded on April 23 after refusing to renounce his faith.
Its legend, widespread throughout the world, tells that a dragon threatened a small city, destroying its sources and crops. The inhabitants of this, in order to keep the dragon away, made daily offerings. They began with their crops and then with animals, but the day came when the livestock was insufficient and the offering became a person chosen at random.
One day, the princess of the city was chosen for said human sacrifice. Saint George, who was in the place, came to help the king's daughter. With his sword he killed the dragon that was causing so much damage to the inhabitants and a rose sprouted from his blood, which Saint George gave to the princess.
The colors attributed to the martyr are green, red and white, colors of protection, strength and purification respectively. Therefore, it is recommended to ask St. George to people who wish to make any of these three requests. This week, we teach you different rituals for next Friday the 23rd.
Use a green candle or candles as a central part of the ritual. On a white paper and in pencil write your name, date of birth, and your request for protection. Place the paper under the candle and light it, visualizing yourself fully protected. If you have a protection amulet or mineral, place it in front of the candle to recharge its energy. If you want to enhance this ritual, use a protective incense such as the Protective Purpose Stick or David Grain Incense to create an ideal atmosphere for this request.
On a red candle, engrave your name with a toothpick or needle from the wick to the base. Use Rose Water on the wrists, neck and solar plexus to enhance the arrival of a positive vibration. You can also use it to anoint the candle before lighting it. Once personalized, take the candle in your hands and visualize how the energy and a dose of vitality reach your body. Light the candle with a match and let it burn. You can use Rose Water as a perfume for 7 days after the ritual to extend its effect.
Purify with a cleansing incense or by burning Rosewood the space where you are going to do the ritual. Circle salt around a white candle. Etch your name from the base to the wick and anoint it with Purification Oil also from the base to the wick. Before turning it on, make your cleaning request as specific as possible. Turn it on and let it burn out completely.
