Goddess of the Day - Oct 17, 2008

Where: Buchmesse (Germany)

Name: Nat

Themes: Learning; Knowledge; Communication

Symbols: Books; Writing Utensils; Stars

About Nat: A Teutonic goddess of the night sky, Nat generates artistic inspiration and knowledge. She refreshes those suffering from creative blockages and arouses new visions for any endeavor, especially when fall’s declining energies get the best of us. Myths portray Nat as bearing the silver-studded night sky like a blanket across the dusk. Her chariot bears a frost mare, alluding to the moon.

To Do Today: Buchmesse is the world’s largest book fair for the publishing industry, featuring exhibitors from over ninety countries and attended by over two hundred thousand people. In this region of the world, book fairs have been around for over eight hundred years, making Germany one of the centers of world literacy.

For writers, today is the perfect time to ask for Nat’s blessing on your efforts. Submit a poem, article, or manuscript to potential publishers. Write in your journal. Draft a meaningful ritual for improved creativity, and let Nat’s energy guide your hand. Alternatively, read a favorite poem or book - Nat’s power is beneath those words - or make a book donation to the local library to honor this goddess’s contribution to human civilization.

Finally, gather all your pens and pencils in a basket and empower them for all your writing tasks by saying:

Nat inspire creativity,
When taken to hand, the magic is freed!
