Grandmother's Garden
Grandma Rose enjoyed gardening and had a special way with plants. Her talent was what some would call a “green thumb.” The grounds behind her house hosted a beautiful garden filled with roses, vegetables, fruit trees, and herbs. I have many fond childhood memories of my grandmother's garden, and to me it was quite an enchanted place. Sometimes it seems as though it was only yesterday that I walked barefoot upon its dew-kissed violets and clover on a misty summer morning or smelled the scent of its parsley, basil, and oregano
plants, as I lay upon a hammock reading omens in the clouds drifting lazily above.
Fairies and other nature spirits were said to have inhabited Grandma Rose's fragrant and secluded garden. I never actually saw them, but I could always sense their nearby presence whenever I spent time there. Sometimes I would catch a glimpse of some tiny sparkling thing moving in my peripheral vision, but as soon as I would turn to look, it would always be gone.
I also remember an old tree near the garden that my friends and I felt was inhabited by some unseen elfin creature (for lack of a better word). They feared that tree and always kept their distance from its grotesquely twisted trunk and branches whenever we'd play in the yard. But, for some reason, I always felt strangely drawn to it and would often tell my secrets to it or place flowers or some of my toys at its base as gifts for the elemental spirit dwelling within.

LIST" OF HERBS AND THERE MAGICAL MEANINGS

Plants, trees, and herbs are really wonderful things. They are nature's way of providing us with the tools to help ourselves and our world. They can be used in ritual, in magick, and in meditation. They can, and should also be made a part of your daily life. In the days of cyberspace, apartment buildings, concrete, and smog, they are the simplest and most fundamental way to reconnect with the earth that houses us.
