Garden Blessing
Goal: To bless a magickal or mundane garden
Optional extras:
Green or brown candle;
pot of soil (if you can’t be outside);
packet of seeds or flowering plant/herb;
picture of your ideal garden or your garden plan;
sage smudge stick;
salt;
water
Notes: This can be done inside with the above extras prior to the gardening season, or it can be done outside with just the sage and the salt and water (mixed). If you are inside, visualize the garden and go through the symbolic act of planting something. If you are outside, you can walk the perimeter of your garden space, wafting the sage and sprinkling the salt/water around the edges of the area you want to bless (be careful not to use too much salt, since it can damage plants). You can say the spell as you are doing this, before, or after.
This spell is best done on a sunny day.
“Green and growing, full of life Bless this garden mine A calm oasis free from strife Touched by gifts divine.” “Let this garden grow and thrive Be free of weed or pest Through seasons changing and alive Like nature’s treasure chest.” “Whether herb or fruit or flower Let plants and seedlings grow Strong and healthy, filled with power Beneath the sun’s bright glow.”
