Aset Luminous
When is it celebrated? July.
Also known as: Isis the Bright, Isis the Luminous One, Aset Webenut

Why do we celebrate?
While this may not be our biggest festival, it is certainly popular! It seems to be related to Aset's search for Wesir, and it involves much, well, light.

Traditions & activities
Read stories and myths about Aset, and honour Her today. Light candles and lamps after sunset. Make a paper boat, in which you place prayers or hymns, along with a lit candle, and set adrift in a body of water (preferable the sea, a lake, something like that - but a bathtub or bowl of water works too).

Decoration
Candles and lamps, obviously. ;) Preferably white, I'd say. Symbols of Aset (for example: thrones, sistrums, tyit-amulets).

Symbols & associations
Myrrh for incense (I've heard Aset quite enjoys it). Colours I associate with Her are royal blue, gold, lapis lazuli, regal red, deep purple, dark burgundy, white, and lush green.
