New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| At this time of year, mistletoe tends to be available in most grocery stores - usually fresh! While this plant is renowned for increasing love between two people, its usage is actually more varied. Mistletoe has long been renowned as an herb of protection (of all kinds), animal magic (including hunting), longevity, and anti-evil. For our purposes, let's utilize its energies both of sleep and dream magic, and of revealing hidden things. Dreams can give us symbolic answers to numerous questions. Prophetic dreaming is actually a relatively common occurrence; it's only a matter of choosing to listen to the subconscious messages our mind gives every night, and how deep we delve into those transmissions! Hang a sprig mestletoe above your bed (or tack a sachet of sifted mistletoe to the wall above the bed). When you lie down for sleep, gaze at the mistletoe and say:
Holly King, Jack Frost, the Reaper, and the Dreamer: hear my prayers! Rush upon me this night. Illuminate my vision, let me see deeper truth. May insight and knowledge permeate my dreams! As I will, so mote it be. |
