Don’t forget that the earth is presenting us with a lot of ingredients for spellwork. Collecting things that fall off trees because of the changing seasons is extremely important and just fun.
Some things to remember.
Wear proper protection when harvesting. (gloves are your friend)
Bring sustainable containers.
Don’t forget offerings. - Fruit & Veggie peels work great. Also old tea leaves.
Don’t rip things off. Since there’s so much already on the ground, it can be considered rude to take what’s not offered.
Knowing how to harvest is an important skill when working with witchcraft. If you’re a baby witch or just don’t have as much knowledge regarding harvesting. Make sure you do your research before diving in.
happy mother’s day to all mothers and mother figures alike! although not glittery, here are a few things which represent my own mother:
|The Empress| “The Empress is full of creative energy. She stands for all the female qualities in motion.“ |Mint| my favorite in our herb garden when i was growing up. we ate the leaves, used them in teas, and rubbed them in our palms to cure stuffy noses. |Chicago Peace Roses| it started out small in our yard and my mum was convinced it wouldn’t grow in the heat. every day i would ask it to grow for her when i watered it. one day, it finally did and it’s been flourishing in the yard ever since. |Bay Leaves| we wrote wishes on bay leaves during hard times and burned them together. i’ll never forget how quickly she ran to the cabinet and grabbed a decorative candle off the table the first time we did it. |Aquamarine| my mother is a 4th generation Piscean woman, making me the 5th Pisces in line on my maternal side. we share a very deep bond that sometimes seems to transcend this world.
