I’m a “green” witch. I work with plants. I grow all kinds of things. And let me tell you, eggshells are my best friend. They’ve become essential to my practice where my plants are concerned.
What eggshells are good for:
♡ Extra nutrients for your green babes
♡ Pest/bug deterrent
♡ Spells
♡ Protection (can be used as a replacement for salt)
♡ Feeling witchy (imagine the poof of powder floating around you and your plants as you recite an incantation)
Whenever I use eggs, I keep the eggshells and rinse them clean in water. After they dry, I grind them up into a fine powder/dust with my mortar and pestle. I keep the powder in a small mason jar with a charged sigil drawn on the lid for plant growth and protection. When I feel that my plant babes need it, I sprinkle the powder around them in a circle and over top of them. Sometimes I’ll say or think the words “growth and protection” to make my intent clear. The eggshell on the plant’s leaves and in the soil will deter insects that like to chew on your lil babes and provide a calcium boost. Depending on what type of spell you want to perform, you can also mix other organic materials (that are beneficial to your plants) in with the eggshell powder.
As an added bonus, this spell never fails to bring me closer to my plants ♡
