New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| The tiger lily, also known as the ditch lily, grows profusely in many parts of the world. These bright orange flowers fearlessly flourish beside highways, in ditches, and in gardens. We can look to this hardy, bold lily when we need the courage and strength of a tiger. If you cannot find a tiger lily, any orange flower can be used instead.
For this spell you will need a small twig to represent yourself, a tiger lily petal, and thirteen inches of orange thread. Hold the twig in your hand and imagine yourself bravely facing the adverse situation in question like a boldly roaring tiger. Then hold the tiger lily petal up in front of the sun so the rays illuminate it. Declare: "Orange flower, fiery sun, I'm as courageous as a tiger!" Wrap the stick with the petal, symbolically enveloping you with courage, then bind it with the thread. Leave this charm in a sunny spot or carry it with you until you no longer need it. |
