The Fast of Thoth

In the Alexandrian calendar, a day-long fast was held to honor Thoth, the Egyptian god of magic and wisdom. A festival honoring this deity was held every year in August, and then a month later his devotees would spend the day praying and meditating. Thoth is sometimes called upon for workings related to wisdom, magic, and fate. He may also be invoked if you're working on anything to do with writing or communications -- creating a Book of Shadows or writing a spell, speaking words of healing or meditation, or mediating a dispute. Consider a little bit of spiritual fasting if you have time to do so today, or make an offering of some of the food you would normally consume.
