Take a moment to visualize your inner child—if they were a seedling, what would they look like? Imagine this seedling's growth through the seasons, year after year. Describe what this growth feels and looks like in vivid detail. What would you say to this seedling, if you'd raised them into the tree they've become?

Today's Spell:

TREE ENCOURAGEMENT SPELL

Trees are incredibly forgiving, adaptable, and altruistic creatures. At their core, they just want the best for us, and in the spring season, trees are at their most giving. During the half-sleep of early spring, buds spring forth, flowers begin to open their eyes, and the snow melts around the base of tree trunks, melted by the warmth of the bark. Look to the trees as your allies during this season of growth, babe. For this spell, you will need:

• A tree you feel drawn to

• A cup of water

Approach your chosen tree, and spend some time quietly observing them—notice their colors, the size and shape of their trunk and leaves, and the new buds growing from their limbs. Then offer your tree some encouragement! Visualize your new tree friend in their sapling phase, and consider the time it must have taken for them to grow as large as they have. Take a moment to offer them a compliment (or a few). When you're ready to say goodbye, pour your cup of water into the soil around their roots as an offering, and thank them for the time you spent with them.
