Many cultures honor a baby's first birth-day as a sign that the child is strong and likely to survive to adulthood. This spell both commemorates the occasion and facilitates further growth. To start, you'll need a snippet of the baby's hair, a young tree (oak or redwood are good, as they have long lifespans), and the tools to plant it. Dig a hole and drop the hair into it. Then plant the sapling, chanting:
May you drink deep of life as roots do. |
