A Simple Irish Spell for Helping Things Grow (including you)
Well,
We’re tipping into that time of year where seed catalogues start flirting with you and garden centres pile the plant babies near the door so you’ll feel guilty walking past.
Maybe you’ve grand plans for raised beds. Maybe you’re just trying not to kill the next basil plant you bring home.
Either way, this one’s for you.
This is your Simple Irish Spells issue for Sunday 1st March. Through March I’ll be sending you a spell every second Sunday (15th and 29th), and we’re starting with growth. Real, grubby hands, rooted in place growth.
Today’s 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.
You can use it if:
-
You’re starting seeds on a windowsill.
-
You’re 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.
No drama, no rigmarole. Just you, the place you’re in, and a bit of honest Irish witchcraft.
What you’ll need
Keep it simple. If it turns into a shopping list, I’ve 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*
If you’re working in an apartment, your ‘land’ 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.
