Here's how you can use Velvet Leaf Pods energy for spells:

Spell Work:

• Enduring Hardship:

  • Carry a single pod as a talisman for strength during challenging times.
  • Create a protective amulet by weaving dried pods into a cord or bracelet.
  • Burn a small amount of dried pods in a fire-safe container, visualizing their smoke carrying away negativity and hardship.

• Competing Against the Harmful Status Quo:

  • Incorporate dried pods into a charm bag with other herbs associated with courage and defiance (e.g., dandelion, thistle).
  • Use the pods in a ritual to assert your independence and resist oppressive forces. Visualize the pods as symbols of your unwavering will.

• Biding Your Time:

  • Create a "patience pouch" filled with dried pods, small stones, and a crystal associated with patience (e.g., amethyst, carnelian).
  • Meditate with the pouch, focusing on the slow, steady growth of the Velvet Leaf plant as a metaphor for your own perseverance.

• Knowing When to Rest:

  • As the pods naturally shed their seeds, use this as a metaphor for recognizing the need for renewal and rest.
  • Create an altar dedicated to rest and rejuvenation, incorporating dried pods as an offering to the Earth.

Sacred Geometry & Ecological Resistance:

• Seed Pod Geometry: Observe the intricate geometric patterns within the seed pods. Use these patterns as inspiration for creating sacred geometry symbols in your spellwork.
• Visualization: Visualize the Velvet Leaf plant as a symbol of ecological resilience, thriving despite human interference.
• Ritual: Perform a ritual honoring the resilience of the natural world, using the pods as a focal point.
