Magick for more Life in living things?

[coriandra]

There seem to be rituals, spells and incantations for pretty much everything.

Can't remember if I've seen anything about this, though. How can you give more life to a living thing like a plant? or a whole garden?

Do you have any experience with this, gentle reader?


Peace.

well let's see, charging the watering can and plant food/fertilizer with energy for good health, is one, creating a garden blessing forn the whole garden. Charging seeds, shoots, transplants etc. with good energy and health as you put it into the ground or a pot or wherever.

I know one way to increase something's energy is by showing it love. When something feels love, it tends to react in kind, and it just grows and grows.

One way by doing that with a plant is talking to it or singing to it. Wash its leafs with blessed water. Maybe ask the plant its name and give it a small snail friend, or invite the fae to help tend it.

It's as simple as just asking. Sit with the plant for a while, visualise the fae around it, and ask them for guidance about how to help with its growth. Light a candle, perhaps, and stare into the flame. You will probably see small pinpricks of light distinct from the flame, and then concentrating, ask the fairies there for help with nurturing the plant, and watch them until they fade or the candle goes out.

concentrate your energy inyour hand, and as you pour it into the plant/seed/whatever it is, you see (insert here) growing up beautiful, healthy and strong. Maybe even create a little chant for it. or in a watering can mix some o your personal energy in the water/feed whatever and bless it with words, intent, visualization, whatever works for you.

One way I can think of involves some psychic vampirism, basically, take the life of something healthy (like another plant, etc) and draw it into the dying plant.

Never a good idea. Energy is free and infinite. This would severely annoy the fairies/spirits of the healthy plant, and invite retribution. Believe me, you do not want to mess with angry spirits.

[RavenStars]

Perhaps vampirism wasn't the best word choice? Energy does get generated, and put to use. Like the sun or our body heat. We can project our own energy as has been described, it's easy to do and is free. Learning to use other sources like the sun or the moon takes practice. As does using crystals and stones. But these aren't difficult either. Do you have a crystal or even a favorite rock you like? Rinse it for several minutes under running water, this erases the old stuff it has stored. Then hold the stone in your hands and ask it to aid your plant. Place it in the pot, touching the stem. The stone will do it's magic and channel energy for you. Then you must do everything you can to help the plant. Don't water it too much—this what kills most house plants! Have you fertilized it properly? Is it getting the right amount of sun? The magic is in the stone, but it's also in you.

A thought: if you're working with plants, avoid having metal around, especially on your person, e.g., belt buckles, metal parts in your shoes, etc. It is my understanding (and makes sense to me) that the spirits of green are averse to that which can (and often does) cut and kill them.

Gentleness is the key to working with plants, I feel.
