TODAY WE CELEBRATE WE ARE ALIVE BECAUSE ONE MAN DECIDED NOT TO END THE WORLD, AGAINST ALL THE TRAINING AND PROTOCOLS, AGAINST ALL THE PRESSURE AND THREATS.
"You don't start a nuclear war with one missile. Nor five."
Stanislav Petrov, hero of the USSR and the World. We owe you all.
The birthstone for September is the bright blue sapphire, which is customarily associated with divination, prophecy, and healing period if there's someone in your life who's been ill, you can do this working to help provide some relief and comfort during the sickness.
Light the candle, and sprinkle the time around it. Hold the sapphire between your palms. Saying “Healing magic, sapphire’s power, bring relief of pain. Healing magic, sapphire's power, bring comfort again.”
Let the candle burn out on its own, and place the sapphire in the sick person hospital room or bed.
