Today's SPELL:

SPACE TO GROW

Seeds are potent spells. They hold within their tiny vessels a magical formulation that brings forth change and celebrates cycles. Plant witches will tell you that the relationship between a seed and you is one of collaboration- a meshing of intentions and desires for a brief period of time as you plant potential for your deepest desires to come to life. Consider your grief as a seed. It is an entity that you can learn about, be curious about, and collaborate with, and over time- nurture. For this spell, you will need:

• 5 seeds, any plant of your choosing
• a pot filled with dirt
• pen and paper
• optional: a tarot card as a message from spirit

Consider how you would like to hold your grief in the world, and write an intention; my grief is a part of me and flows as easily and freely as my joy. All parts of me are welcome here, and my grief is a gift. You may try partnering with tarot to create an intention- try asking your deck "how can I best let my grief be present?" Fold this intention into as small of a square as possible. Create a small hole in the dirt and place your intention at the bottom. Add a small layer of dirt and then plant 2 seeds. Add another small layer and plant the remaining 3. Tend to these seeds as if you were tending to yourself- water them often, make sure there's enough sunlight, and don't let the cats dig them up.
