|
| Air: Visualize the flower encompassing you. Or write your wish on a piece of |
| paper and place it under the vase containing the flower until it blooms. To |

|
| Fire: Wear or burn the essence of the flower while speaking your will. Or burn |
| a candle beside the flower until it opens. |
|
| Water: Throw the flower in a body of water and speak your will. Or soak the |
| petals in water all night under a full moon and drink it while calling the |
| powers. |
|
| Earth: Surround yourself with flowers, or plant it's seed while concentrating |
| on your intend (obviously this is a long term spell). |
