Wish Upon a Waxing Moon


This spell will sanctify your garden space. When the moon is waxing, growing larger toward the phase of fullness, gather green and purple candles and anoint them with sandalwood and rose oil, respectively. To create a simple outdoor altar, Place the candles on a large flat rock or your garden wall.  Place a small potted ivy vine on the altar along with a cup of water. Burn sandalwood incense in the northern side of your outdoor altar. Now close your eyes and meditate upon your hopes and dreams of growth - personal, business, spiritual, for loved ones. When the incense has almost completely burned, take the ivy and plant it in the optimal spot in your garden, where it can thrive and spread, creating beauty as it vines on a wall or fence. Use the cup to water the plant. Now bow and pray:

As this living thing expands,

So shall the power of this magic space grow.

Oh, goddess of the Earth, I dedicate my magic to you.

Harm to none and only good work from this holy space.


This ivy is now a botanical “familiar” and as it flourishes, so will you. I encourage you to continually revitalize your outdoor altar by adorning it with sacred objects that have meaning to you: iridescent feathers, a lovely rock from a nearby creek, a bright red pomegranate, a perfect white rose or anything you find from nature that will make a perfect offering.
