🪷 January 9th we celebrate the #Agonalia feast of #Janus, the double-faced god who gives his name to the month. Janus is a guardian of all entrances as he can see both outwards to ward off intruders, and also see inwards to guard the occupants. This also means that he is a deity of the threshold, a liminal place, one where things change. So, if you are worried about a change in your life, Janus is a handy deity to have a word with. Any doorway or entrance is his place, so speak to him there. 🪷
