Magick in a Seed

By Mike Sexton

As your seeds sprout and grow, so does its magick. Learn how to harness the magick contained in each seed this Spring.

ith spring just around the corner, many people are already beginning to plan their spring gardens. You might have a few seeds potted; a head start for when it's warm enough to plant them outdoors. I know that I've had a few ideas already on what I want to get growing this year, a few changes I might be making as well for a more successful harvest. W

Spring is also a time for fertility, and that isn't just sexual fertility, although that is quite abundant. I'm sure it won't be long, and you'll be seeing rabbits running around and birds singing to attract their mate. I'm also talking about financial fertility and goal fertility. How do these two things--seeds and your personal goals--mesh? Quite simply. Let's take a look at the melding between planting and personal preparation.

When you are going to plant your seeds, see about blessing each seed or seed packet for a particular fertility rite you want to perform. For example, if you're looking to get a raise at work, bless your seeds with this in mind. If you're looking to set a goal for your retirement, bless the seeds for that, and so on. You might even have a goal that's not financial in nature but towards gaining more serenity in your life. Bless seeds for this goal. Research what plants go with what you're wanting to accomplish and plant seeds for that particular goal with the corresponding plant.

As the seeds sprout and grow, so does magick and what you want to accomplish. This is a wonderful way to also see your goal in real-time. You're using the plant as a symbolic gesture of what you wish to attain, and thereby, it makes your goal more tangible. This is really helpful for those who have issues with visualizing their magick. Now you don't just have a mental image of it; you have a visual symbol of what you're working towards.

If you're someone who has a problem growing plants from seeds, you can still perform this magick with plants that have already grown a bit. You will spend a bit more since plantlings cost more than a pack of seeds, but the important thing is that you're successful with your plant. Using a plantling is a great way to avoid the disappointment you might have if your seeds don't sprout or wither away.

Perhaps turn this into a fullon-family affair by giving each person in your home a plant or seeds to grow their own living goal! It's a great way to teach your children about magick and also gardening, so you've got a win-win situation right there.
