Easter is such a Pagan holiday. With its abundance of pre-Christian fertility symbolism, it celebrates the renewal of life and spring. Eggs represent life, and utilizing those brightly colored ones from childhood in our magical work is a great way that we as Witches can reconnect to those cultural elements on our own terms. You will need several white hardboiled eggs, a commercial egg-dyeing kit, and a white crayon. Begin by designing sigils for various blessings, such as health, prosperity, love, etc. If you need help, Laura Tempest Zakroff’s Sigil Witchery is an eggcellent resource. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!) Draw these symbols on the eggs with the crayon, contemplating their meanings. Follow the instructions on your dye kit. While the eggs soak, say: Cosmic egg of all creation, The sigils will remain white, revealing their magical intention. Hide or eat the eggs. Bon appétit! |
