So this popped up in my feed and as I looked at it, I realized our tree was already pretty witchy! I had already bought some decorations made with orange slices, cinnamon sticks etc. and we have pine cones all over the tree.
Oooh! I love this! Okay, but, the intention scrolls and the joy spell, do you think that’s going to intermingle with the evergreen presence of the tree? Sort of a “this intention/spell will linger long after the season has passed” kind of thing?
Also, I’ve never dried an orange slice. Are they still fragrant? Because that would be a-mazing. I love Yule smells.
When I did a spell pouch for the tree last year, after we had taken down the tree, I respectfully buried the herbs I used in the garden. I will do the same this year, and probably the same with the intention scrolls, or safely burn them.
Yes, the orange slices are still fragrant. I will have to either bury them or compost them after Christmas though. They will go moldy up in our Texas attic over the summer.
