Galentine's Day isn't on February 14th. In fact it's more associated with the 13th, so you can have a girls' night out then enjoy romance with your lover the next day. Apparently the event started in 2010 in an eponomous episode of the American sitcom Parks and Recreation - which I also admit I've never watched - but has grown in popularity.
It might be a recent annual event, but I think it could show how traditional folk customs can change and adapt with the times. What do you think? Is this just another way companies commercialise something or a genuine tradition in the making?
Tarot Three of Cups Manifestation Spell: Girls Having Fun
Galentine's Day reminded me of the Three of Cups in Tarot. It's the only card in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck that shows multiple women and no male figures - and they are having fun. It's one of my favourite cards. The description in the booklet says: "Maidens in a garden ground with cups uplifted as if pledging one another." The divinatory meaning is merriment, happiness, victory and fulfilment.
On Galentine's Day - or any time really - you could find this card from your tarot deck and put it n your altar or somewhere you will see it. Visualise having fun with your female friends and celebrating your achievements together. Pour a chalice of your favourite drink, then raise a toast to all the women who enrich your life. Make a pledge to help and support other women, and perhaps to enjoy a girls' night out.
You could also do this manifestation for International Women's Day on March 8th.
