Xtah

Rain Festivals ( Mexico/Central America ).

Themes: Weather, harvest, fertility, & prayer.

About Xtah: The Guatemalan Goddess of Rain and Water sprinkles Herself into today's celebration in answer to Her people's fervent prayers. As She does, Her rain also bears constructive, fulfilling energy to maintain the gardens of our spirit with Spring's growth-centered magick.

To Do In Honour of Xtah: This is the time of the year when people in this region begin praying to the sacred powers for rain. In Guatemala, specifically, they pray and make offerings to the Goddess so the crops will not fail from draught.

If your spiritual life has seemed a bit "dry" lately or lacking in real substance, pray to Xtah with words like these:

"Xtah, as you pour forth from the heavens, see my need

(pour out a glass of water here--this is a type of sympathetic magick that encourages Xtah to follow your example ).

Rain upon my life and heart with Your fruitful waters so I may grow
with clarity of spirit. Thank You for Your bounty, for refilling my inner
well with your richness. So be it."

If it's raining outside, dance in the rain as you pray so you can literally touch Xtah's presence. Alternatively, pray in the shower or in the rains created by a lawn sprinkler.

Wear water-coloured clothing today ( blue, purple, dark green ) to accent whichever of Xtah's attributes you want to develop.
