So yesterday I got a new plant thanks to my works angel plant program, shes a bit weak but I named her Uriel and I devised a chant for her to help put my intent into her well being and strong growth.
Since I put together that chant I thought I’d post it here!
Be warned its really simple but i believe effective.
I am Strong and Stable as the tree
I am Beautiful and Powerful as the flower
I am Steadfast and Hardy as the weed
I give all this to you my friend, Welcome to my home.
A big part of my plant magic is about giving and sharing what you have with the earth and the plants in your care!
I suggest looking at DoodleBirdie’s shop they have very interesting terrariums
