Use the wood from an apple tree to craft runes,&#0160;Ogham staves, or&#0160;a wand or staff. If you&#39;re lucky enough to have a bit of land for planting, consider adding a few apple trees to your property; they&#39;ll start producing fruit when they&#39;re a few years old, and you can take advantage of their magic all year long!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-13\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Apples have always been popular tools for foretelling the future. There are a number of traditional methods in folklore for seeing who one&#39;s lover might be.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-15\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Peel the apple, keeping the peel in one long piece. When the peel comes off, drop it on the floor. The letter it forms is the first initial of your true love&#39;s name.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Wait until midnight and cut an apple into nine pieces. Take the pieces into a dark room with a mirror (either hanging on the wall or a hand-held one will do). At midnight, begin eating the pieces of apple while looking into the mirror. When you get to the ninth piece, throw it over your shoulder. The face of your lover should appear in the mirror.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">If a girl has more than one potential lover, peel an apple and pull out the seeds. Place a wet seed on your cheek for each boyfriend. The last one left stuck to the skin represents the suitor who is the true love.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Source: learnreligions.com<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">learnreligions.com\/the-magical-energy-of-apples-2562299<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Mabon just around the corner, now is a perfect time for apple picking and to incorporate this wonderful bounty into your magick!&#0160; Apple Magic Photography Ren\u00e9 Bosch \/ Getty Images Because of its associations with the harvest, the apple is perfect for Mabon magic.&#0160; To include apples in your magical spells and rituals, consider [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[372],"tags":[123,6,402,120,15,133,62,4,115],"class_list":["post-451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spells-and-potions","tag-free-love-spells","tag-love-spells","tag-mabon","tag-magick","tag-mambo-sam","tag-spellmaker-com-spellmaker","tag-the-voodoo-boutique","tag-voodoo","tag-voodoo-love-spells"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spellmaker.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spellmaker.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spellmaker.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spellmaker.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spellmaker.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spellmaker.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spellmaker.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spellmaker.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spellmaker.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
