Coming up we have the annual novena to Saint Cyprian which goes from the 17th to the 26th of September – ending with the actual feast of Saint Cyprian of Antioch. I think this would be a perfect time to do some work with our own Saint, so tomorrow over on Patreon starts the Novena of The Saint, where we will be doing a group novena ritual to mark/hijack the occasion. The ritual will involve using THE SAINT to him to deliver our prayers and requests to the great powers that be.

NOTE: The dates of the Cyprian Novena always really confuse me as the dates you find talked about online and in books mostly just don’t add up. For instance, Gordon White in the great Pieces of Eight, says it begins Sept 16th and runs to the 25th, with Cyprian’s Feast day on the 26th not been counted as a Novena day – but that’s still 10 days not 9.

So this is the best timeline I can come up with is this:
Sept 16th – Feast of Cyprian of Cartage. (Used to prep for the Novena)
Sept 17th – Day 1
Sept 18th – Day 2
Sept 19th – Day 3
Sept 20th – Day 4
Sept 21st – Day 5
Sept 22nd – Day 6
Sept 23rd – Day 7
Sept 24th – Day 8
Sept 25th – Day 9
Sept 26th – St Cyprian of Antioch Feast Day
