Energy-Raising Spell

Ostara is a good time to feel life growing within yourself, especially if you’ve
been stuck in a rut or subdued by wintery feelings of sadness or ennui.
You will need:

• one green candle
• one brown candle
• one orange candle
• a pot filled with gardening soil*
• some seeds of your plant of choice

*whatever seeds you plant, look up what, if any, additional additives they
require in the soil for optimum growth as seedlings. Some plants require a
mix of lime and soil to raise the pH; others do well with a mix of gardening
grit.
Make a triangle out of the candles so that the bottom left of the triangle has
the brown candle, the bottom left the green candle, and the orange candle is
the top. Make sure the triangle is large enough so that you can place the pot
in the center of the triangle comfortably. Light the candles in this order:
brown, green, and orange.
Say:
“From the soil to the tree,
from the seed and to the leaf,
so do I grow joyfully,
from Winter’s sleep I find relief,
and flourish in the Sun.”
Water and care for your plant, and feel your spirit growing in strength and
positivity in the coming days. Your plants can be harvested at Midsummer if
you wish, to be distilled into an elixir or oil of joy and hope for use during the
following Winter.
