Michaelmas

[Yazata]

I'm a day early, but it's Sunday. September 29th is Michaelmas, also known as the Feast of the Archangels.
Light a candle for Michael and his companions, and those under his protection.

Psalm 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.​

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.​

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.​

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.​

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;​

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.​

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.​

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.​

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;​

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.​

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.​

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.​

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.​

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.​

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.​

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

September 28th, but its all good.

In the Orthodox Church, we are celebrating the feast day of St. Wenceslaus-Prince of the Czechs.

28th

My grandma's prayer book (and my main source of occult knowledge Wikipedia) say the 29th. But if it's good it's good

Might be different among the churches. What church does that prayer book come from? It's definitely not invalid BTW.

It's the common Catholic missal from a translation of 1938.

Funny, a couple of days ago I was reading an instruction to Dee regarding Michaelmas in the TFR.
Can't remember what is was exactly, but somebody left their Tables of the Earth back in England (I think...)

 

[Yazata]

Aha. Another funny thing: you might remember how I placed Michael and the other three on the Great Table. This morning I checked, and the call for Michael then is the 9th. So befitting, especially with this thing I'm making now
