Mythology Summary

Juno Februata is the purifying aspect of Juno whose month February is: the Februalia cleansed the city and the Feralia fed the restless dead before the new year began. She is fertility and atonement held together, which is why her rites always come before the planting.

Modern Practice

Juno Februata is called on at the start of the year, in a house that needs clearing, and for the dead who are still being carried. Her practice is the literal one: clean, bury, feed, move the year on.
