A Pax on Both Their Houses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pax is a Roman goddess whose name means \u201cpeace\u201d or \u201cSpirit of Peace\u201d.\u00a0 The Romans \u201cadopted\u201d her from the Greek pantheon where she was called Eireen (pronounced eye-REEN).\u00a0 As the Goddess of Peace, she was born to the god Zeus and the goddess Themis and she was the sister to Dike (meaning \u201cjustice\u201d), Eunomia (meaning \u201claw\u201d or \u201corder\u201d) as well as the Horae (meaning \u201cseason\u201d or \u201chours\u201d, where we get our modern word for \u201chour\u201d).\u00a0 As the Greek Eireen, she helps us replace worrisome thoughts with a sense of faith that \u201cthis too shall pass\u201d.\u00a0 When she is called upon, a sense of peacefulness is brought upon the person.\u00a0 One of Eireen\u2019s messages for us is to remember to retain our childlike wonder and zest for life.<\/p>\n

After her\u00a0 Roman \u201cconversion\u201d, she came to be called Pax-Romana and Pax-Augusta during the second century BC.\u00a0 A shrine was built to her in the Field of Mars.\u00a0 She was shown as a young woman holding a cornucopia, a sheaf of grain (both symbols of abundance) and an olive branch (a symbol of peace).\u00a0 Perhaps together, the symbols could signify an abundance of peace.<\/p>\n

I was inspired to write this spell because of something that happened in my own life.\u00a0 After an issue that left sore feelings on both sides, I consulted my Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards for some advice.\u00a0 Eireen\u2019s card is the one out of the deck that I selected.\u00a0 After reading the meaning of the card, I immediately shifted my though-processes; transforming a negative re-action to a plan of positive pro-action.\u00a0 With this spell, I will take steps to bring harmony in the future.\u00a0 I hope it does the same for you.<\/p>\n

THE SPELL<\/p>\n

Supplies: an offering of grain (can replica with birdseed) and a candle (color of your choice)<\/p>\n

Call to the Goddess of Peace by saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cI call upon the Goddess of Peace,<\/em><\/p>\n

Called both Eireen and Pax.<\/em><\/p>\n

This negative situation I now cease,<\/em><\/p>\n

So that all the parties relax.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Make an offering of grain by placing it upon the altar and say:<\/p>\n

\u201cSpirit of Peace, I give to you this offering of grain.<\/em><\/p>\n

In return I ask that you remove all our pain.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Hold the candle in your hands and chant (as many times as you wish):<\/p>\n

\u201cOn our friendship there is a strain,<\/em><\/p>\n

All this fighting is an energy drain.<\/em><\/p>\n

I remove this with a spiritual rain<\/em><\/p>\n

All our adversities can now wane.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Light the candle and chant (as many times as you wish):<\/p>\n

\u201cI remove this weight off our backs<\/em><\/p>\n

In the names of Eireen and of Pax.<\/em><\/p>\n

Our hurt feeling fall through the cracks<\/em><\/p>\n

Healing energies now do wax.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Meditate on what you can do to help heal the situation.\u00a0 Ask Eireen and Pax for their wisdom and guidance.\u00a0 Make sure to send loving energies to the other person(s) to help spread the healing process.<\/p>\n

If possible, let the candle stand to burn out.\u00a0 Make sure to place the grain outside for the animals.\u00a0 Dispose of the candle remnants off your property.<\/p>\n

NOTE: there is Free Will to keep in mind so this spell may only be a \u201ctemporary fix\u201d and may seem to \u201cfizzle\u201d in one moon\u2019s time.\u00a0 If this is the case for you, this means that the other party truly does not wish to be on good terms with you and you may need to remove them from your life.\u00a0 Consult with Eireen and Pax for further clarification and instruction.<\/p>\n
