In her book Daemonic Love Magic, S Connolly includes a month-long, self-love ritual involving the daemon Asafoetida. While I won’t detail the ritual here, I will say it is aimed at changing your thought process about yourself. Asafoetida is the daemoness of feminine attributes. Besides her enn and sigil, little else is known about her. I suspect that her name comes from the extremely fragrant spice of the same name, which literally means smelly or fetid resin. In some parts of the world, the substance is named directly after the devil, as in France (“merde du diable”) and Germany (“teufelsdreck”). Despite this, it has an onion like flavor reminiscent of leeks, a root vegetable frequently used in protection and procreative magick.
Working with her sounds like an ideal plan for February, the month of love. Better yet, the next Domagick challenge will provide a daily way of reinforcing those mental changes. It asks that we undertake a form of traditional meditation for one month.
