Offering: Leaf Envelopes
Recently I saw a very cute post about using leaf envelopes as a vessel for offerings and prayer. So in honor of Lughnasadh, I decided to try a few!
I started with large leaves (elephant ear) cut into 10cm x 10cm squares, and folded two corners inward like so:
Then fold the bottom corner up as well, and glue in place.
For one I made it to help with my Mental Health.
Inside: Rosemary (healing)
Ginger (success)
Sage (wisdom)
Blessed Thistle (purification)
ᛇ
(stability)
ᛞ
(clarity)
This was charged with Abalone, Bloodstone and pink, blue and white candles.
Another I made for devotion to Arianrhod.
Inside: Lavendar (healing)
Sage (prosperity)
Bay leaf (protection)
Rose Petals (love, luck)
ᛒ
(rebirth)
ᛉ
(growth)
This was charged with Moonstone, Selenite, Smoky Quartz and purple and white candles.
Last step is to fold down the top corner, and seal with wax. To add to the wax I used a seed on silver wax for Arianrhod and part of a pinecone on blue wax for Mental Health.
These are very customizable and pretty easy to put together! I love the way they look on my altar, and I have two more planned that I'll add when I make them.
