SPELL TO GET A GREEN THUMB

Use this spell to acquire the ability to grow green things with innate talent and creative grace.

The Green Man is said to be the collective essence of Mother Nature expressed as active growing flora. His smiling leafy face can be seen
in many gardens, in ancient church naves, and even in Roman and pre-Roman art. Some refer to the Green man as the son, lover,
and/or father of the Earth Mother. The spirit of greenery is a wise spirit to invoke into your life if you are to be a successful gardener, or
so the old legends tell us. More and more gardeners are hanging representation of the Green Man in their gardens with great green results.
The Green Man was sometimes identified with Esus, the Celtic God of Spring. Whatever his mischievous origins, the Green Man is the power
lurking in every garden shadow. What ever gardener wants lurks there as well, because everyone what's a green thumb, right? This is what one
has when one "becomes" the Green Wo/man. To get his green-thumb blessing (a thinly veiled identification of one having the power of the Green
man), try this:

YOU WILL NEED
* A vine
* Some grasses
* A tree leaf
* Part of a vegetable or herb
* A flower
* A clay Pot
* Rainwater

THE SPELL
On one of the great feast days (the equinoxes or the solstices), go out into the greenery about your house and gather a vine, some grasses, a
tree leaf, part of a vegetable or herb, and a flower. Place them all in a clay cup, and put rainwater in it. Let it stand outside one full day,
from dawn to dawn, open to the sun. The next day, taste the water, then wash your hands (especially your thumbs!) in this water and say:
SUN AND WIND,
EARTH AND RAIN,
JOY AND GROWING,
DEATH AND PAIN,
AS THE GREEN GROWS,
ESUS KNOWS
MY BEING GLOWS
WITH GREEN LIFE!
I AM ROOTED IN EARTH,
MY BRANCHES IN SKY.
I ENGENDERED REBIRTH
AS I LIVE AND I DIE.

Offer the rest of the water in a small hole in the middle of your garden - place the soaking plant matter there as well. Cover it with soil and plant some flowers or seeds over it, Say:
I HEAL THE EARTH - REBIRTH!
