Nine Waters, Nine Plants... Correllian Shaman Assignment
I finally finished my waters this morning.
All of my waters began as rain water.
1. Yule water: I blessed this water on Yule eve and kept it out under the moon until the morning of 21st. This water is being used on my Poinsettia plant. I bought her before I went on vacation and she died back a bit while I was gone. As you know, Poinsettia's are a bit finicky with there care. She seems to be coming back nicely now. I am trying not to bug it too much while ensuring she is evenly watered on a regular basis. I see some new leaves coming in, so that is a great sign.
The remainder of the waters were made blessing the rain water and leaving it out to charge under the Full Cold Moon the evening of 27 December and left it out until the morning of the 28th. My sister's birthday is the 28th, so it seemed even more meaningful to do it during that Full Moon phase. I then waited until last night to finish the final step as I wanted the water to have elements of the first New Moon of the year as well. Last night, I did another blessing of the Cold Moon water and left it until this morning to add each individual element. Each element was blessed prior to addition to ensure all elements contained within the water were blessed. Also, the mint, basil, rosemary and lavender used were grown by me.
2. Patchouli water: Added 2 drops of Patchouli Oil to the water. This will be used on my Pathos ivy. This Pathos has been attempting to grow for over a year! I thought using Patchouli's fertility power might help her out a bit.
3. Orange water: Added 3 drops of Orange Oil to the water. This will be used on my orange trees. The orange trees were a fluke sprout from one orange seed that happened to do something when I tried to start a plant. I figured it may benefit from more luck, one of the traits oranges hold since it has already given me two baby trees!
4. Cedar water: Added 2 drops of Cedar Oil to the water. This will be used on my Spider plant.This plant sits near my front door, so I thought Cedar may add a protective element to our entryway.
5. Lavender water: Added dried Lavender flowers to the water. This will be used for Christmas cactus. I chose lavender for this plant as it also sits near our entryway. I want it to help to promote protection, peace, happiness and longevity in our home and in the plant.
6. Rosemary water: Added dried Rosemary leaves to the water. This will be used on my Aloe plant. The Rosemary mother plant grows outside our front door, to help protect our home. I chose to put Rosemary water on the Aloe to protect the Aloe as its healing properties are important. The Aloe is in the entryway as well to drive away evil and bring us good luck!
7. Basil water: Added dried Basil leaves to the water. This will be used on my Banana plant. I chose Basil water to protect the Banana tree... it is said to increase prosperity in the home.
8. Mint water: Added dried Mint leaves to the water. This will be used on my Arrowhead plant. I like to keep mint by the front and back doors to help protect the home and to attract positive vibes.
9. Sage & Sweet grass: Added dried Sage and Sweet grass to the water. This will be used on my Pineapple plant. Sage was chosen to help protect the longevity of my Pineapple plant. The pineapple was begun from the top of an actual Pineapple some months ago. It seems to be doing well. The Pineapple Plant is said to increase luck.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

After the bath or shower is done most of the plants move back out of the bathroom and I leave the door open to air the room out. native wetland plants
