Luck Be a Ladybug

June 19, 2015 by Natalie Zaman
Color of the day:  White
Incense of the day:  Violet
 
Ladybugs are symbols of luck in many cultures and are also helpful in keeping harmful insects at bay. Welcome ladybug energy into your life and garden tonight after sunset. (This will allow the magic to incubate overnight. It is also a good time to release ladybugs; darkness and coolness are ideal environmental conditions for them to get acclimated to a new area.) And how lucky that the moon is waxing-good for growth! You'll need a container of ladybugs, which can be ordered online or purchased at a garden center.
Bring your ladybugs into your garden. Lay the container on the ground near plants, remove the lid, and speak this invocation:

"Dearest winged lady friend,
I share my home with thee.
Fly away, return again,
Bless my garden and bless me!"

Watch your garden and your good fortune grow!
