The holidays are often a time for travel, and while the day before Thanksgiving is the busiest travel day of the year, December has it share of doozies. Certain sacred traditions say that if you carry a small packet of black cumin seeds (sprinkled with a bit of cinnamon for courage and strength) while you’re traveling, then you’ll be promised cosmic protection of a truly powerful sort. Be sure to keep that packet on your person so you can be sure of getting to your destination with ease and grace. While you’re at it, wrap either nine or 18 inches of red ribbon, thread or string around the handle of your suitcase to guarantee that your luggage arrives at the same place and time that you do!
