A Craftsmanship Blessing with Xochiquetzal:
String a garland of marigolds together as an offering to Xochiquetzal, patron goddess of craftspeople.
Hold the garland up outside to the Sun to dedicate the offering:
“Xochiquetzal, I offer you this token as a sign of respect and love. Please bless me with success in [my chosen craft].”
Hang the garland up where you work on your crafts.
