My best friend is getting married in May. I want to bestow upon her the best happiness, love and well wishes in the form of a blue piece of glass that I found on my property when it was unearthed. You know the saying " Something borrowed, something blue, etc..." I want to give this blue stone to her in a sachel which I will make, hopefully with some healing and good fortune herbs. But I want to do a spell or a blessing on it. Can you help guide me? Does anybody have any ideas?
Thanks you all in advance!

What a lovely idea C....I would do a blessing, one that blesses their love and life togeather... Do something that comes from the heart..... Best day to do it would be a Friday and do it when the moon is full or waxing... I would use a pink ribbon to tie the pouch...Also a little emerald is also good for marriages, if you can add this to the pouch with some roses, lavender and jasmine... Emerald is known as the stone of successful love, bringing domestic bliss and loyalty, helping to keep the relationship in balance....Apparently if the stone changes colour its supposed to indicate unfaithfulness .... Good luck hun, let us know if there is anything else you want to know.....V...xx...

Why don't you do a braid, then you can tell your friend what all the colours signify?

I have some more ides for you C...You say she is getting married in May, if you can, do this blessing on Beltane (may 1st), or as close as you can get, bearing in mind a Friday and full moon...
Colours for the ribbon, if you decide to plait, Green - will balance the energies and is linked to the heart chakra, and therefore vibrates the energy of love, Blue for communication, Red for passion, Pink for Love and Lilac for honesty and trust....
When you do the herbs and flowers add corriander, its a romantic charm along with the oil of rose and jasmine...
A small silver horseshoe, this helps love to grow...
How about making some confetti?, you can add rose petals, white inspires trust, pink, understanding and red as passion...Rice symbolizes wealth and spiritual love and wheat has been used for centuries for fertility....
I you do put a crystal in the bag look for one that is heart shaped.... ;D..And finally Ivy, it is said that if a bride carries ivy she will have a long, prosperous and committed marriage, maybe you could sew one onto the front of the pouch either a real one or cut one out of some material....What colour pouch are you doing?...Red or white is good for marraiges.....
Let us know how you are getting on....

How are you getting on C?....
Last summer one of my cats went missing,for over a week, this is very unusal for any of my cats as they are all house cats and never stray to far from the house and garden...I was sat in my garden, it was a lovley summers day and i was braiding some wool....While i was doing it i was thinking about my cat, visualising him coming home safe and well....The thing is, i was doing this without realising what i was doing and when i emerged out of the mediative state, i hung the braid on my Willow tree, sending thoughts to Marmalade to come home.....
The next day, marmalade walked into the house... ;D
