Psychic Workout: Plant a Seed for Prosperity

With the New Year just around the corner, now is the time to begin thinking about what you want to manifest in the coming year… Or why wait? Plant that seed now to stimulate growth! Rather than simply “thinking” about what you want to nurture, this exercise will physically put your goals into motion when you “plant a seed for prosperity.”

What seed of an idea would you like to plant and grow into an opportunity? Financial abundance? Protection? It could be a skill or personal quality you’d like to acquire, or new adventure or creation. You probably already have a goal in mind, but just need to know what direction to put that energy in. For those that are still struggling with what they want to focus on, sit in meditation, or open your intuition and listen for divine messages that will help shape your goals or resolutions. When you have determined what it is that you are going to nurture in the coming year, write it down on a piece of paper.

From the list at the end of this article, locate the appropriate type of tree/seed based upon the corresponding energy that you are wanting to manifest. (You may want to also look up additional horticulture tips for the requirements of the different species, including climate and timing for planting to ensure a successful sprouting.)

When you’re ready to plant the seed, pick up the plant seed and concentrate on it, infusing it with your desires. If planting in a pot, first place your written desire at the bottom of the pot, or if planting outside, at the bottom of a hole that you have dug. Next, cover with a little soil, and proceed with planting your seed. Your written desire will feed the roots of the tree as it grows. Visit the sprouting tree frequently, water it, and emotionally feed it as well, knowing that as it grows, so will your desire.

Here are some appropriate trees to use:

Oak – Solid and strong, the Oak is the tree of endurance and triumph. When meditating or grounding, it is often the Oak tree that we visualize and embody because of its tremendous root system and its ability to anchor our souls.

Birch – As the Birch tree is the earliest tree to produce new leaves each year, it is known as a symbol of fertility and new beginnings. Birch brings luck in new endeavors, and aids in accomplishing goals. Bundles of birch twigs were bound together for use in witches’ brooms, and to ward off negative spirits.

Apple – The Apple tree is one of the most sacred trees, holding the energy of eternal youth and happiness in the afterlife. Cutting down an Apple tree was considered so unlucky in Ireland that they would call for a sacrifice of a person as payment for such wrongdoing.

Alder – Alder is associated with rebirth (resurrection), as the petals on the Alder tree reflect the spiral pattern of creation. Use Alder for situations concerning death or birth.

Rowan – The tree of fire, Rowan represents inspiration and vitality. Leaves of Rowan may be used to increase psychic powers, while the branches of the Rowan tree are often used for fabricating wands. If you had a magickal wand, made from the Rowan tree, what would you want to manifest?

Willow – The Willow embodies similar energy to that of the Moon. It provides protection from nightmares, harm, and betrayal.

Hawthorne – The tree associated with purification and chastity, this tree is used to bring forth a lighter energy, that of the fairy. It is no wonder that the Hawthorne tree is sacred to fairies, and cutting one down brings misfortune.

Holly – Holly is associated with luck and protection. Holly leaves are sometimes used for divination, as the number of berries indicates the severity of the coming winter.

Maple – With a sweetness like syrup, the Maple attracts love, money, and luck. It is often used for treasure chests and jewelry boxes holding your most precious items. Maple will offer the sweet allure to attract what you want.

Ash – The Ash tree is an ancient tree, associated with the Norse, and sacred to Poseidon, God of the Sea. Placing ash leaves under your pillow will aid in prophetic dreams

Hazel – Hazel is the tree that blooms with wisdom. Hazel nuts are strung and used for happiness within the home. Forked Hazel branches are often used as dowsing rods to aid in divination and locating water or hidden objects.

Elder – The Elder tree is associated with magick and manifestation. If hung over doorways, it repels negative spirits and energies, but if burned, it calls forth and invites negative spirits.

    Hello, first of all I want to say thank you for this wonderful article. I’ve been looking for a symbolic ritual for the new year, and this is perfect, But I have a question, well actually 2. My first question is if I can plant more than one seed for different purposes, and my second question is if there is any seed that I could plant especially to make my boyfriend want to commit and marry me. I’m not trying to break his free will or anything like that, it is just my biggest wish to spend the rest of my life with him, so please, I’d greatly appreciate if anybody could tell me what is the ideal seed for that special wish. Thank you.

    Lilian: How right you are. Guess I needed to expand my geography!

    In response to your comment, I have done further research and complied a brief list of species specific to Australia. Hopefully you are drawn to work with one of them.

In addition, the Druids believed the leaves of the oak tree had the power to heal and renew strength.

    Great article Marin
    We just transplanted a Mayho tree in honour of our son, Andrew and it was very cathardic. We asked the Universe for the thing we wanted and spoke in gratitude of the things that it had already given us. It turned into a ceremony before our eyes, and was very empowering. Thanks for the article.

    A very inspiring concept – however, please remember that not all your readers live in the US (or indeed, the Northern Hemisphere)! There is not one of these suggestions that will grow easily in my country Australia, and some not at all. In fact, eight out of the twelve suggestions I have never even seen nor am ever likely to!! So . . . a great idea but of little use to me.
