Sowing the Seeds of Change
Nature is the ultimate creator. Get an
array of seed packets, and plant newness in your life. If your thumb is not the
greenest, I suggest nasturtiums, which will grow in any soil and seem to thrive
on neglect.
On a new-moon day, draw a square in your
yard or planter with a natural wand—a willow branch or an oak stick, for
example—and mark each corner with a candle and a stone:
-orange candle and stone for higher
intelligence (onyx or jasper),
-green candle and stone for creativity
and growth (jade, peridot, or malachite),
-blue candle and stone for serenity and goodness
(lapis lazuli, turquoise, or celestite),
-white candle and stone for purification
(Herkimer diamond, quartz, or limestone).
Repeat this chant as you light each
candle:
“Great Gaia, I turn to you to help me
renew,
Under this new moon and in this old
earth. Blessed be.”
Poke the seeds under the soil with your
fingers and tramp them down with your wand. Gently water your new-moon garden,
and affirmative change will begin that very day.
