Celebrate Motherhood: Triple Blessing spell

The month of May is said to be named for Ma’a, the mother of the Roman god Hermes. May brings spring and new life and these are closely associated with women.

May is a time to honor woman. This is a very good time for all women to refresh and strengthen themselves to bring luck and blessings to the family. May is a good time for every woman to realize her power and make sure she is living to her full potential. Women should say, “May is for me.”

Items needed:

• 3 growing healthy plants – parsley, mint and garlic (these can usually be purchased in a grocery
  store or garden store if you don’t already have them)
• Rose scented soap or body wash
• 1 gemstone Butterfly for transformation
• 1 quartz crystal for the Maiden
• 1 garnet for the Mother
• 1 apache tear for the Crone

Start by cleaning the stones and Butterfly with sea salt or your preferred method of cleansing.

Make sure the plants are watered and healthy and have good sun (this can be outside or inside)

Before doing the ritual, bathe or shower with a rose scented soap or body wash.

On the altar, place first the parsley then mint and last, garlic. In front of the parsley place the quartz gemstone,
in front of the mint place the garnet gemstone and in front of the garlic place the apache tear. Place the butterfly
on the right side of the altar.

Take a deep breath, exhale and say:

Goddess I ask a blessing from you for me
Goddess I ask for good health
Goddess I ask for safety
Goddess I
ask for prosperity
Goddess I ask for all good blessings from you

Take the quartz and as you press it into the soil of the parsley say:

Goddess bless me with the health and joy of youth

Take the garnet and as you press it into the soil of the mint say:

Goddess bless me with ambition and prosperity of maturity

Take the apache tear and as you press it into the soil of the garlic say:

Goddess bless me with the wisdom and joy of age

Take the butterfly and lightly place it on the soil of the parsley and say:

Goddess I thank you for the blessing of health and joy

Take the butterfly and lightly place it on the soil of the mint and say:

Goddess I thank you for the blessing of ambition and prosperity

Take the butterfly and lightly place it on the soil of the garlic and say:

Goddess I thank you for the blessing of wisdom and joy

Thereafter, care for the plants and use the herbs in cooking. Keep the butterfly where you will see it everyday
to remind you of all the wonderful blessings you have.

In the fall when the plants are finished, take out the stones and bury them close to your back door. If you
live in an apartment of do not have a back door, bury the stones in a place you walk past often.

The blessings of the Goddess will be yours throughout the year!
