Offering: Leaf Envelopes

Recently I saw a very cute post about using leaf envelopes as a vessel for offerings and prayer. So in honor of Lughnasadh, I decided to try a few!

I started with large leaves (elephant ear) cut into 10cm x 10cm squares, and folded two corners inward like so:

Then fold the bottom corner up as well, and glue in place.

For one I made it to help with my Mental Health.

Inside: Rosemary (healing)

Ginger (success)

Sage (wisdom)

Blessed Thistle (purification)

ᛇ

(stability)

ᛞ

(clarity)

This was charged with Abalone, Bloodstone and pink, blue and white candles.

Another I made for devotion to Arianrhod.

Inside: Lavendar (healing)

Sage (prosperity)

Bay leaf (protection)

Rose Petals (love, luck)

ᛒ

(rebirth)

ᛉ

(growth)

This was charged with Moonstone, Selenite, Smoky Quartz and purple and white candles.

Last step is to fold down the top corner, and seal with wax. To add to the wax I used a seed on silver wax for Arianrhod and part of a pinecone on blue wax for Mental Health.

These are very customizable and pretty easy to put together! I love the way they look on my altar, and I have two more planned that I'll add when I make them.

So You Speak to Me of Sadness

And you wonder where we’re going Where’s the rhyme and where’s the reason And it’s you cannot accept It is here we must begin To seek the wisdom of the children And the graceful way of flowers in the wind For the children and the flowers Are my sisters and my brothers Their laughter and their loveliness Could clear a cloudy day And the song that I am singing Is a prayer to non-believers Come and stand beside us We can find a better way
