A Miscellany of Spells y
A Spell that Asks the Leaves
Again, this is more of a ritual than a spell, but one that has a long
history, for trees have played a significant part in magic making probably
since before Druid times. If you live near a pine forest all to the good, but
any wood will do.Avoid following this ritual on a very windy day, as you
will probably find that there are too many leaves vying for your
attention!
You will need:
A fallen twig
A bolline or burin
As you make your way to the woods, form a question in your mind to
which you want an answer. Find a fallen twig and gently carve the initial
letters of each word of the question on it. Hold this towards the sun and
say the question aloud. Now simply listen to the breeze rustling the
leaves. Let the sound form a picture in your mind. Do not try to force
things, imagining things you do not hear. After a minute or two, you
should feel that the leaves have said all they are going to say. Bury the
twig in the ground so that it returns to Mother Earth and as you walk
away, an answer to your question should come to mind.
