A Spell for Beginnings

This spell is excellent for reinforcing new beginnings, such as a new job, new home, new love, etc.

You will need:
- Seven seeds (any seeds will do, flower, vegetable, fruit, etc)
- A small garden spade for digging a small hole
- A candle (any color, but white or natural beeswax is best)
- Three dried leaves from any plant
- Three coarsely ground eggshells
- A 7” x 7” piece of paper (notebook or typing paper is fine)
- A seven-inch length of natural twine (cotton, hemp, or sisal is good)

This spell is best worked at sunrise or shortly thereafter.

Light your candle and place it on a flat surface, such as a tabletop.  Lay the piece of paper on the table.  Draw the following symbol on the paper:

Place the seeds, leaves, and ground eggshells in the center of the paper.

Speak these words aloud:

Three times seven—twenty-one,
Let this spell come not undone,
With each start, a better way,

Fold the seeds, leaves, and eggshell in the paper, forming a small packet.  Tie the packet securely with the twine.  Extinguish the candle.

Find a quiet place in the yard or garden and with your garden spade, dig a small hole, roughly seven inches deep.  Place the packet in the hole.  Cover the packet with dirt and fill the hole.  Do not remove the packet from the ground.
