| The blackberry is a marvelous fruit. Low in sugar, it is easy to grow or find, and every part of the plant is useful. Tea made from blackberry leaves soothes a sick stomach, the roots have been used as an astringent, and the fruit can be eaten and used to dye cloth.
Magically, blackberries bring abundance, good health, and protection. Bring these qualities into your life by preparing your favorite blackberry recipe-and infusing each step of the process with the words of this spell: "Dark and sweet And good to eat. Bring good health And abundant wealth. Blessed blackberry!" If possible, pick your own fruit so you can whisper the incantation into each berry as you select it. Repeat the spell as you gather your fruit, prepare your recipe, and serve it. Enjoy the fruits of your labor-literally-as you ingest blackberry's magical properties. |
