] Human Hair And Bay Leaf Garland Spell
Take of bay leaves nine in number, and collect a winding of human hair From
Your brush until you have enough to pass around your hand nine times Over.
At the time of the new moon, or yet when it is full, tie both leaves and Hair together into a garland, chanting all the while:
Fair Selene Let This Be
A Rope Of Charms And Sorcery
I Root My Art In God's Good Earth
To Give It Secret Cunning Birth
May It Bloom Like A Bride At Kirk
My Soul And Natures Handiwork
Bow to the silvery orb, and lay the garland in the hole you will have Dug out earlier in the day, ready to receive tree, shrub, herb or Flower. Set your plant with firm tenderness in the soil, speaking a Blessing over it. Water well, unless there should be a nip of frost in The Air, in which case you must wait until mid-morning to satiate its roots. Soon after the working of this growing spell, there will most likely Some a Flood of rain, which will be nourishing and beneficent for the new Addition To your garden, so much so that it will be as if you caught the scent of Your bay leaf charm in the rain-washed air.
