REMINDER TO PERSONALISE YOUR CRAFT

We live in the wonderful age of technology and we have knowledge and spells at our fingertips in a moments notice.

But these things can be coming from anywhere in the world. Some incredients in spells might be local to the person writing the spell, but what about you? Why would you use something for a spell that wasnt even grown near you?

I cant emphasize this enough: Research the plantlife that thrives around you and use that.

Why would I use a holy wood that doesnt even grow near me? Why would I use a plant that wouldnt thrive on my land?

Use what grows near you, it breathes the same air as you, choose familiar over something you have no connection to.

Telling the bees

The custom of "telling the bees" is a charming and ancient tradition where beekeepers inform their bees about significant events in their lives, such as deaths, births, marriages, and other major occurrences. This practice is believed to have its roots in Celtic mythology, where bees were seen as messengers between the human world and the spirit world. The presence of a bee after a death was thought to signify the soul leaving the body. The tradition became particularly prominent in the 18th and 19th centuries in Western Europe and the United States.

To tell the bees, the head of the household or the "goodwife" would approach the hives, gently knock to get the bees' attention, and then softly murmur the news in a solemn tone. This ritual was believed to keep the bees informed and prevent them from leaving the hive or dying. The custom underscores the deep connection and respect that people historically had for bees, viewing them as integral members of the household and community. (The Historian's Den)

I can easily see how you can turn this in a magical tradition with some little adaptation: plant flowers and plants for bees in your garden, invoke the spirit of the bees, keep bee-telling to the bee-spirits and take care for the plants. I am sure that one day the spirit of the bees will be your ally and that you will learn from it. And a big plus: you are helping the bees to survive in a world full of mono-cultures and poisons. Witchcraft and care-taking for your environment can go hand in hand if you wish to.
