Dogwood Wish Spell

Dogwood for Wishes

This spell was found at: Magickal Herbalism

(Posted by Fen Alraun)

Dogwood is the tree of wishes! A dogwood flower is an excellent charm to bring about wishes. Here is a spell from the Lewellyn Publishing website from 2009:
"To make a wish come true, collect three red dogwood berries, a dogwood leaf that has also turned red, and a few pieces of bark. Place all of these items on a piece of white fabric or in a pouch, and tie it up with red yarn. Speak words of power affirming your wish over this magic bundle. Pass the bundle above the flame of a red candle. Extinguish the candle and hide your magic bundle until you receive your wish."
