Seed Blessing Ritual for the Spring Equinox
By Gerina Dunwich
 

The Spring Equinox is a traditional time for many
Witches to
perform blessings over the seeds which they gathered
in the fall
of the previous year, though store-bought packets of
seeds may
be blessed as well.  Perform the blessing at sunset in
the
center of a clockwise-cast circle.  Place the seeds to
be
blessed in a basket or cauldron.  Using an Athame or
wand,
thrice draw a pentagram in the air over the seeds, and
say:

"As winter's reign comes to an end and spring brings
warmth and light, the spirit of these seeds I do call
forth on
Ostara's sacred night. From your rest awaken now with
birth!
You shall, in time, grow green and strong in the soil
of Mother
Earth.  So mote it be!"
