Planting Magical Seeds at the College of Psychic Studies

This is the perfect time of year to plant seeds as part of a spell to set intentions and manifest wishes. I did this at home with basil seeds a couple of years ago, but the photo shows an altar at the College of Psychic Studies at the Spring Equinox on Friday this year. Members were invited to plant nasturtium seeds. 

Many modern witches consider nasturtiums as symbolising loyalty, victory or success in general, although older books on the language of flowers say they represent patriotism and conquest. Whatever they mean, nasturtiums are brightly coloured flowers that grow easily and are also edible. 

At the college, everything was set out for us on an altar that also had dark and light crystals representing the balance of light and dark. If you're doing this at home, the altar is optional, but here are the essentials you'll need: 

• Compost or clean soil.
• A seed of your choice.
• A small pot - you could upcycle an old yogurt pot.
• A spoon or small gardening trowel.
• Water.

Here's a precis of the instructions you can see printed on the paper in the bottom left of the photo:

• Clear your mind and centre your thoughts by sitting still and being present in your space.
• Write an intention on a small slip of paper, fold it and put it in the bottom of your pot.
• Half fill your pot with compost or soil.
• Place a seed in the centre, then put a layer of soil or compost on top.
• Put your hand over it and ask the earth to support you in your intentions.
• Water the seed, pot then place the pot on a sunny windowsill.
• Visualise your seed growing and your hopes manifesting

Watch your plant pot daily and keep the soil moist. I put mine into an improvised propagator, upcycled from two clear plastic food pots. One went underneath the plant pot, the other went on top. If you don't have a  propagator then you will have to water your seed more frequently.

When my nasturtium has grown into a good sized seedling I will replant it in my garden.

Happy Birthday to 3 Magical London Locations

Three of London's best-loved magical venues celebrated birthdays over the Spring Equinox. Pictured on this post is the oldest of them: The Atlantis Bookshop. The esoteric bookshop and hub for occult gatherings has been at 49a Museum Street, Bloomsbury, for 104 years. Proprietors Geraldine and Bali invited customers old and new into the shop on Saturday to enjoy a glass of bubbly and cake.

The College of Psychic Studies is 100 years old. On Friday, the venerable seat of learning about all things psychic had a special evening at its beautiful venue at 16 Queensberry Place, South Kensington. I went along and enjoyed a glass of wine or two and a chance to chat with staff and members. Everyone who attended was invited to do a little springtime spellwork by planting a seed and making a wish. I'll be blogging more about that tomorrow.

Wicca Moon, the lovely witchy shop in Eltham, had a 21st birthday tea party on Friday afternoon. Sadly I wasn't able to get along for that as I was busy working then.

I wish all three magical venues very happy solar returns, and hope they will be celebrating more years of success in future.

Flower Folklore: Heather for Luck and Sweet Dreams

White heather is one of the plants most associated with luck. It's a bit of folklore that pretty much everyone knows, although Queen Victoria gets the honour for popularising the belief beyond Scotland. 

Wearing a sprig is supposed to bring you good fortune, while having some in the home will protect it from all sorts of problems, from fire to fairies. Brides can include a sprig in their bouquet as a symbol of purity, constancy and fertility. Heather pillows are said to help bring sleep and sweet dreams.

Heather is more associated with late summer than with the time of the Spring Equinox, but there are winter and early spring varieties. That's the kind that grows in my garden. There's so much at the moment that I had to prune it back from the path when I did weeding the other day. I brought the cuttings in to put in the vase you can see in the photo.

It might not be the usual thing to put on a Spring Equinox altar, but I believe in witchcraft we should go with what nature is providing rather than purely stick to what's stated in text books. That vase is going on my altar.

One of the great things about heather and it's use as a good luck charm or protective amulet is that it dries really well. You can continue to wear it or have it on show it for a long time after you pick it, but please don't gather more than you need. Another thing about white heather is that it's rarer than the usual pink or purple type. 

All wildflowers, especially the rarer ones, are best left for wildlife to enjoy if possible. Winter heather is an extremely valuable source of food for insects in the early months of the year.

Rachel Patterson in her book A Kitchen Witch's World of Magical Herbs writes that it can be used in incense blends to cleanse space. I'd suggest letting it dry, then grinding it up before adding it to mixtures. She adds that apparently the incense can also be burnt while doing spells to bring rain.

Pagan Eye: Woodland Witch from a Witch/Craft Exhibition

Here's one of Sara Hannant's captivating photos of a woodland witch. It's part of a new exhibition called Witch/Craft that's on at St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery in Hampshire. It brings together two bodies of work exploring changing attitudes to witches and witchcraft from the 16th century to the present. 

Anne Jackson’s knotted tapestries draw on trial records, historic imagery and symbolism to reflect on persecution and prejudice and to tell the stories of the last women to be hanged for witchcraft in England.  

Sara Hannant presents photographic portraits created collaboratively with contemporary magical practitioners in the New Forest and London. Her images explore the ways in which they define their identity and express their beliefs. A further photographic series presents her personal interpretation the Wiccan Wheel of the Year. 

A link between the two artist's work is archaeologist, anthropologist and folklorist Margaret Murray who argued that records from historic witch trials revealed a remnant pre-Christian Pagan religion. Although her ideas have since been largely rejected, they were an important influence on Gerald Gardner who established Wicca, a form of modern Pagan Witchcraft.  

Witch/Craft runs from 21 March to 16 May at St Barbe Museum, New Street, Lymington, Hampshire, SO41 9BH. The museum is open Monday – Saturday, 10am-4pm. Adult tickets are £6. You c an find out more here: www.stbarbe-museum.org.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/witch-craft/
