🌿Plant Spirit Devotional: 15 Day Exercise
Here's my concept for a method to facilitate bonding with a Plant Spirit or Herbal Ally over the course of a month. Obviously this practice takes far longer than a month to create a lasting bond with a plant spirit but hopefully this exercise helps provide some structure to the practice of bonding with a Herbal Ally. Feel free to use this outline yourself or modify it to your own needs.
15 days of Plant Spirit Devotion. Day 1: Introduction to the chosen plant. Day 2: The plants native habitat. Day 3: Cultivation, Foraging and Preparation. Day 4: Mundane properties (Culinary, Medicinal, Poisons etc). Day 5: Art inspired by / incorporating the chosen plant. Day 6: Magical correspondences. Day 7: Folk names and their origins. Day 8: Folklore and associated myths. Day 9: Deity / Spirit associations. Day 10: Plant's role in ritual: Cultural and Spiritual Significance. Day 11: Tarot / Oracle associations: Card spotlights. Day 12: Personal Sigil for the Plant Spirit. Day 13: Current Relationship with the Plant Spirit. Day 14: Personal goals when working with the Spirit. Day 15: Exercise conclusion, Take-aways and final overview.
My current plan with this exercise is to complete it each month for a different plant spirit / herbal ally, starting with Rosemary during February. Generally my plan is to spend the first half of the month bonding with the herb and researching it and the latter half of the month completing this exercise.

This Exercise was inspired by this post: link by @noctivague about a 15 day deity devotional. Thanks for the amazing idea!

@cardicoven ‘s Plant Spirit Devotional 15 Day Challenge:
DAY 3: CULTIVATION, FORAGING, & PREPARATION
🍋Cultivation of Meyer lemon trees:
Best planted in early spring, Meyer lemon trees need special fertilizer/soil made for citrus trees. This is acidic soil, with ph from 5.5 to 6.5, and they need to be watered regularly with good drainage. Meyer lemon trees need eight hours of direct sunlight, and thrive in zones 9-11. They start bearing fruit at four years old.
🍋Foraging of Meyer Lemon Trees:
Don’t harvest Meyer lemons from their tree until they are DARK mustard yellow. They naturally turn darker yellow than other lemon varieties, and they are naturally sweeter while still maintaining a decent sour component. Harvest between December and April, depending on your zone, and depending on when the tree was planted.
🍋Preparation for Meyer lemons:
Preparing Meyer lemons for use is very easy and simple! Just rinse the lemon thoroughly, and slice! If you want to save the juice, juice it and freeze the juice so you can use for longer times! They make great additions to ice water to sip on, or jasmine green tea!

A Spirit-Gift of Corn
This stalk of corn grew entirely by surprise in our garden bed, despite corn not growing anywhere nearby us. The only feasible way we can figure it got here is if a bird carried and then dropped a kernel, only for it to take root and thrive without any kind of tending.
Watching it grow to fruition from a feral seedling has been a joy, and I feel strongly that the corn it bears will be particularly potent in virtue.

A flat-color commission of the client’s character, the spring spirit Canto! He’s a lot fonder of plants than of humans, and so can come across as a bit of a grump when having to assume a corporeal form and interact with people. He’s feeling a little awkward here, so he’s got some vines rooting him in place to keep him grounded. 🍃

This Oracle Deck is stunning. The illustrations, the feel of the cards, it’s very top quality. This is a Deck centered around the experience of Black people across the Diaspora; it has been made clear in Jumangi’s works and statements. I’ve handled them a few times, so they’re gently used. I will be cleansing them with eucalyptus smoke before sending them off.
I’m so thankful that y’all have stuck around to witness bits and pieces of my spiritual journey. Previously I worked with tools, such as this lovely oracle deck, to help me understand messages from my Ancestors and the Divine. Lately, these methods don’t resonate with me as much. That’s the wonderful thing about growth though, now they’ll have a new home and someone new to guide💙

🌿Plant Spirit Devotion: Herbal Altars
So this is alittle unorthodox but I've been keeping/tending an Altar specifically for my current Herbal Ally, atleast for the duration of my active devotional to that Plant Spirit (my post about Plant Spirit Devotionals). Currently my altar is set up for Rosemary pictured below. The Purpose of these altars is not to worship or revere the Spirit in the same way that my Persephone Altar exists to venerate the goddess. In my mind a Herbal Altar exists as a dedicated space for the spirit which acts as a reminder of the spirit throughout the day, while the aromatics of the Herbs themselves and the general energy of the Plant is allowed to suffuse the area.
Tumblr media
My Rosemary Altar pictured above contains the following:
Fresh Rosemary: Personally I think the most important thing on a Herbal Altar should be the plant itself, ideally a living plant but when that is unavailable the best alternative is fresh plant matter.
Dried Rosemary: Failing fresh plant matter, dried herbs can work just as well.
Rosemary Essential Oil: An essential oil or similar product made using the plant represents the myriad forms the Herbal Ally can take in your Practice.
A Herbal Flash card for Rosemary: This card not only has beautiful artwork depicting the Herb but on the opposite side contains information revolving around Rosemary's mundane and magical properties allow with a short botanical dossier. This is a representation of the Plants properties and what you can learn from it.
An associated Tarot/Oracle card: In My case I like to have a representative Tarot card for my Herbal Allies, I use the Bottanical Deck by Jessica Bott which happens to have a Card for Rosemary.
A tea light candle dressed in Rosemary oil and dried Rosemary: A representative of the Herb role in rituals, and in my broader practice. I plan on burning this on the last day of my devotional.

Meyer Lemon Trees are native to China. They were discovered by a plant explorer (Frank N. Meyer) in China. They are actually a hybrid citrus!

Not a great photo, but I love how green my infused cedar leaf oil turned out. I’m hoping it’ll make a nice salve for my hands with some beeswax, or be good with a few drops in a bath when I’m aching. Cedar is such a welcome companion on my path.

Something I have enjoyed tremendously about my journey in witchcraft has been connecting with my plants. My family is notorious for having black thumbs. (I killed a spider plant.) Every time I see one of my plants about to unfurl a new leaf or stem or bloom, I get so happy!! Look how good it’s doing! I even successfully propagated a part of my pothos which I’ve never done before.

Brugmansia love (monograph & reflections)
For the indigenous people of the Amazon, Toé (Brugmansia) is a plant with “astonishing but ambiguous powers, often associated with witchcraft and sorcery.”1 For me, this plant carries the energy of the Moon card in Tarot.Dreamy, and delusional.For those who are bewitched by her, we can only howl like dogs in the night.and often times we may feel like the crab, swimming underwater… (scroll to the…
