35. Seed Blessing

Setting intentions, infusing magick, protecting your desires

Whisper and weave the breath of magick into what you foresee.

You’re almost there, darling: you’re right at the stage where it’s time to plant your seeds but not just yet, because there is more to do before your plans can move ahead. A witch may bless her seeds, infusing them with her intentions for the year. Enchanting her seeds protects them, creating a powerful aura to keep energetic harm away. You are also in the stage of blessing your intentions when this card appears. Do all that you can now to ensure your dreams are safe and sound before sending them off into the world. Doing so can manifest in a variety of ways; you may need to learn additional skills, set a smaller goal before tackling something bigger or learn to love yourself before seeking love from others. It can also mean changing your mindset, addressing all of the limiting beliefs that have historically prevented you from getting further with your plans. In the spiritual sense it can mean taking steps to prepare your energy, limiting the influence of others right from the start. In all cases it’s a reminder to believe in your own magick. The best protection for your dreams is to have faith in them.

Find a quiet and peaceful space where you can focus on your intention, then take a few deep breaths to center yourself and clear your mind. Write down your intention on a small piece of paper. Place a seed of your choice such as a sunflower, bean, or any other seed that resonates with you in your hand, and focus on your intention. Visualize it coming to fruition, and imagine the growth and transformation that will occur. Plant the seed in a small pot or container filled with soil. As you do this, say your intention out loud or in your mind. Water the seed, and place the pot in a location where it can receive sunlight and care. Over the next days and weeks nurture it as you would your intention. Each time you care for the seed, reaffirm your intention and visualize its manifestation. Watch the seed grow and develop, reminding yourself of the power of setting intentions and taking action towards your goals.
