A Book of Days for Gaia's People
Introduction
A Book of Days is a book which lists a different version of the same activity for each day. This creates both variety and sameness of practice in your life which brings you a deeper connection and stronger practice to your religious experience. This Book of Days draws upon the SolSeed symbolic year and the SolSeed practice of daily contemplation to give a practitioner a deeper understanding of the SolSeed religion. Feel free to use this book for whatever period you find useful, pick a day here and there to follow or follow it for multiple years. This is a wiki so feel free to add new options to existing days and to make additions to existing contemplations. Each day will include a quote from a text that SolSeed members have found meaningful and then a discussion of that quote. Following this there will be a suggestion for a contemplative practice. The calendar will start just after the Winter Solstice which is the beginning of the SolSeed symbolic year.
