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!"
