An Autumn Planting Ritual

Color of the day:  Brown
Incense of the day:  Marjoram
 

It may be fall, but now is the time to plant spring-blooming bulbs. For this ritual you'll need some spring bulbs of your choice, such as tulips, daffodils, or crocus. Prepare a place for them in your yard if you need to. Remove them from their package. Look at them carefully. They're truly amazing. They may look dry and lifeless, but each contains the seed of life, ready to produce a beautiful flower next spring. Mindfully begin to plant them as you say:

Autumn leaves turn from green to gold.
Soon frost will kiss the Earth and take hold.
Now these bulbs will rest in Mother Earth,
But they'll return as a flower during the season of rebirth.

When done, take a moment to realize you've taken part in the sacred cycle of life—birth, death, and rebirth. And remember that when you plant, you're affirming your belief that there will be a tomorrow.
