Take a walk or ride thru gardens, woods, park and "celebrate" nature

Go to a field and randomly collect wildflowers that appeal to you. Bring them home and divine their magical meanings by use of books or intuition. The flowers you have chosen reveal your inner thoughts and emotions.

Take a apple and cut it crosswise; exposing the seeds that are laid out in the form of a pentagram. Remove the seeds and bless them. Then by the next full moon plant them in your garden or yard.
