From the sweet white and pink blossoms, to the rich
fruits that nourishes us come fall, the apple tree is a source and symbol of
richness, fertility and re-generation.
The most famous apple tree in the world was not an
apple tree at all. Nevertheless, the story of Paradise, Adam and Eve, the fatal
bite into the apple and all that followed is deeply embedded into the
collective unconscious of humanity, at least in the Western world. Echoed in
fairytales such as Snow White, the apple symbolizes both life and death. Death
of innocence that is, and the awakening to a world of both richness and
dangers. And most importantly, to the awakening of the world of sex.
As a magical ally, you can work with the apple tree to
invoke richness, fertility, sensuality, sexuality and much more. The apple is a
close friend of humankind, and its powers are usually easy to access. Here are
some things you can try out:
Pick branches with apple blossoms, put them in a clear
glass jar so you can also see the roots, and ask the apple tree to bless you
with a deeper appreciation of your home, and the now.
Cut slices of an apple right across the fruit and take
a moment to meditate on the five-pointed star that is shaped from the seed
pods. This is a symbol of the Goddess. Fill a pitcher with spring water, add
the apple sizes. Put the pitcher where it can be reached by moonlight
overnight, preferably on a full moon night. The next day or days, drink the
water respectfully, asking with each sip for health to be ingrained into your
body.
Make a wand from an apple branch. Decorate it with
anything that for you represents richness, sweetness and sensuality. Use the
wand to bless any project, situation, or challenge that needs softening and
ease.
Enjoy your ally the apple tree. May you play well all
year round.
