Eggs are probably the most popular symbol of this sacred time. Since eggs
symbolize so well the ideas of newness, creation, potential and growth, why not
make a Magick Egg to contain the energies of your hopes and wishes for the
coming season.
Take a fresh raw egg (do not boil it!) and dye it the appropriate color for
your wishes:
Green for growth, prosperity or healing;
Red or Pink for love and marriage;
Purple for spiritual growth and psychic development;
Yellow for new beginnings and successful studies;
Blue for peace and serenity;
Orange for power and energy.
With a straight pin, poke a hole in each end of the egg, place your lips
over the hole at one end and blow the contents of the egg out over the sink or
in the yard. This will take a few minutes. If your yolk is a bit tough, once
you've gotten most of the white of the egg out, take your straight pin and
penetrate the skin of the yolk then finish blowing the rest of the yolk out.
Once your egg is empty, using your straight pin again, make small holes all the
way around the middle of the egg, lightly mark one spot so that you'll be able
to fit the egg back together correctly, then take a thin blade and saw
through so that you have two halves. Handling it
carefully, rinse the inside of the egg and dry it.
Now it is time to fill your egg with your wishes and energies for your goal.
Three has always been a magickal number so you'll use two herbs and one
stone charged with your wishes to fill your egg.
Your Green Egg will use chopped bay leaves, cinnamon chips and a citrine
stone;
Your Red or Pink Egg will use rose petals, damiana and a rose quartz stone;
Your Purple Egg will use poppy seeds, white sandalwood and an amethyst stone;
Your Yellow Egg will use lavender, allspice and a clear quartz stone;
Your Blue Egg will use chamomile, hops and a blue topaz stone and
Your Orange Egg will use bloodroot, patchouli and a gold tiger's eye stone.
Fill one half of the egg at a time, concentrating on your goal and infusing
the herbs and stone with your power.
Light a candle in the same color as your egg and begin to drip small bits of
melted wax on the seam of the cut eggshell to fuse it back together. As you
do this, continue to visualize your wishes and, if you like, repeat a short
chant or power words as you go.
If your wax drippings on the eggshell are lumpy, after you have fused the
egg completely, hold the waxed area just above your candle flame to warm it and
then smooth it with your finger.
Keep your Magick Egg in a safe place and when you have achieved
manifestation of your goal, bury it in your yard.
