| This is a simple garden blessing that requires a pitcher of milk, a jar of honey, and a hand drum, tambourine, maraca, or other small percussion instrument.
Walk the perimeter of your garden while slowly pouring milk onto the ground, creating a boundary. As you walk, say: "Blessed by mother's milk, my garden will grow and flourish." (In this case, mother's milk refers to the concept of Earth Mother to cow to milk, not a breastfeeding mother.) Again walk the perimeter of the garden while slowly pouring honey onto the ground, adding to the boundary. This time say: "Blessed by father's nectar, my garden will grow in abundance." The third time around, play your drum or other instrument and chant: "Grow, grow, grow. Let abundance flow." Move to the center of the garden, dig a small hole, pour the rest of the milk and honey into it, and cover it up. This garden blessing will help you sow fertility and abundance. |
