## **Burn & Learn**

> - “Much of plant divination involves interpreting ashes”
> 
> - “…Do you have dried flowers from a left over wedding, funeral, or special occasion? Is there a special tree, bush, or plant in your yard or that you see often with which you feel in tune?..”
> 
> - “…It is important to set your intention clearly. For example, if you want to know whether your current partner is “the one”, then it is appropriate to burn a red rose. If you want to know how your job interview went, burn purple violets…”
> 
> - “…Prepare a quiet, peaceful space for your predictions so that you can concentrate on your intention. Try to make your question as clear as possible so that you will understand your reading…”
> 
> - Example: “How many people will come to my party?” or “Show me what will happen at my party” “…They are likely to appear as numbers, a crowd, or some kind of event or activity…”

Ooo… so is this sort of like casting stones or runes? You would cast the herbs & then read their associations based on where they land? Or when you come across them in your path? I’m very curious now 🧐

This is also my question 😅 I know that there’s an entire language of flowers that people use when giving flowers to others, but I didn’t know about divination with plants!

Always a fan of flower magick- it makes me happy to see more correspondences and ways to use plants in the Craft! I use a lot of herbs in spellwork, but not so much for divination (tea leaves aside). Thanks for this resource, @Missa! 💚 🙏 💐

This is something I have never heard of but am intrigued by.  
Do you choose the flower according to the theme of the question?  
After burning it, do you read it like tea leaves?  
Interesting indeed

Blessed be

Oh thank you @Missa! It’s very interesting to me! I had never heard of this before either.

Oh also good question @Cosmic_Curiosity do you choose randomly or the theme? 🤔
