Accessing Plant Spirits

Working with plants for magic provides us with energy from the plants and access to nature spirits on whose aid we can call.

Spend a few minutes simply looking at a plant, and then place your hands on either side of it to sense its energy. If the plant is too large to do this, hold your palms facing it.

If you are not sure what energy feels like, do this simple exercise first. Bring your hands together and rub your palms back and forth over each other until you feel them getting warm. This activates the (energy centers) in your palms. Continue for another moment and then separate your hands to about shoulder-width apart. Slowly bring your hands closer together until you can feel a little bit of resistance.

Rub your hands together again, and when you separate them, move them toward each other and then away several times. As you do this, you may get the sensation that there is a ball between your palms that keeps them from touching. That’s the feeling of energy. It is usually very subtle and it may take time to learn how to sense it. Working with houseplants is a good way to get started, and it will create good energy in your home.

When we tune into a plant’s energy, we also share some of ours, which allows us to communicate with the plant and nature spirits. Over time as we work with plants, we may find that we are given additional information on how to employ them in our magic. You may often receive details on what to do with each plant part. While this type of experience may be surprising, it is always gratifying.
