WISHING TREE

(For all Sabbats)

Make a tree out of craft materials--craft wire, floral tape, fake flowers, et cetera. As the seasons change, make the tree match the outside world. Hang paper wishes on five branches and every season when the tree is changed, coat the branches with catalystic oil (for waxing year) or blessing oil (for waning year) and meditate on how wishes are shaping up or have been granted. Suggestions for seasonal tree changes:

Yule Wrap floral wire around a nut and "plant" it in a floral planter, setting it in a pot on top of last year's wish ashes. Let floral wire poke up through floral planter to resemble a sprouted plant.

Imbolc Create branches for the tree and wrap in brown floral tape. Conceive wishes, write them on paper, and hang them from the branches.

Ostara Add leaves to each branch.

Beltane Add flower buds to each branch.

Litha Take down flower buds. Add bloomed flowers to each branch.

Lughnasadh/Lammas Take down bloomed flowers. Add closing or withering flowers to each branch.
Mabon Take down withered flowers and place them around the tree's base.

Samhain Take down leaves. Place around base of tree as fallen leaves. Burn wishes and save the ashes for "soil" of next year's tree. Disassemble tree if necessary while creating new Yule tree.
