New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| For full magical potency, it is usually best to gather herbs during the Full Moon since the gravitational pull of the Moon draws the sap of plants up out of their roots and into their leaves. But cutting plants during the waning Moon also has its advantages, since it can signal to a plant to start to diminish instead of flourish, which in this waning time of year is beneficial. Go out today and do some pruning. The cuttings that you take at this time are best added to compost, or perhaps used only in spells for sending things away. As you work in your garden, repeat this chant to communicate your intent to your plants:
Grow you have done Grow you may In the bright sun Of the day Time to slumber Time to sleep Autumn's coming Close you keep Now to draw back Go within later come back When spring begins |
