A Simple Irish Spell for Helping Things Grow (including you)
Well,
Weâre tipping into that time of year where seed catalogues start flirting with you and garden centres pile the plant babies near the door so youâll feel guilty walking past.
Maybe youâve grand plans for raised beds. Maybe youâre just trying not to kill the next basil plant you bring home.
Either way, this oneâs for you.
This is your Simple Irish Spells issue for Sunday 1st March. Through March Iâll be sending you a spell every second Sunday (15th and 29th), and weâre starting with growth. Real, grubby hands, rooted in place growth.
Todayâs spell is for helping new plants grow and/or for starting a real relationship with the land and the beings who are already growing where you live.â
You can use it if:
-
Youâre starting seeds on a windowsill.
-
Youâre planting out a veg or herb garden.
-
You just want to connect to one local plant or tree and begin that long term companionship with its particular energy.â
No drama, no rigmarole. Just you, the place youâre in, and a bit of honest Irish witchcraft.
What youâll need
Keep it simple. If it turns into a shopping list, Iâve failed you've failed we've all failed... actually I'm just bein melodramtic now, you can't actually fail this as long as I don't fail you. *quietly sweats*â
If youâre working in an apartment, your âlandâ is the pot on your balcony, the sad supermarket herb on the counter, or the tree on your street that you pass every day. That counts. Don't even think about waiting until you own five acres and a stone circle. Start where you are.
