My locator spell needs work...🚧
I realized that I had misplaced my artisan garden markers. I absolutely treasure these particular markers because they were created by a local artist that I commissioned especially for our Grove. I thought I had stored the markers for the season inside, but alas, they were not there! That meant I left them to be consumed within the depths of my Grove.
Well after 2 years of mulching and replanting, finding those markers was a long shot. So I considered this an opportunity to exercise practicing my different locator spells.
So far, I've found 8 out of 11 markers.
- 3 were from memory
- 3 were from a mix of memory and spell work
- 2 are from pure spell work
Now let's talk about the spell work. First I started off with my normal:
"Show me where to dig to find my plant markers."
After several yards of digging and indeed finding "plant markers" that were the nursery plastic stakes version, I realized that my request was NOT detailed enough. 🥵
New request became:
"Guide me where to where my custom made plant markers lie."
This took me to all the custom labeled metal garden stakes that I had made. Sigh. 😒
Third request became:
"Guide me where to where my artisan made plant markers lie that were created by Mercedes."
That's were I found the 2 from yesterday before I ran out of light. 🥳
Today I hope to find the last three markers.
I have started the spell this morning with requesting help from the Earth:
"Push atop the surface and reveal the artisan markers I seek and anything else I need to be aware of before I begin my search later today."
A few hours later and in the exact area I need to focus on, surfaced this quiet Being to let me know to search gently and carefully later today.
I sure hope the Earth pushed up those markers atop the surface too.... 🤣
