Once upon a time, in a small village nestled deep in the heart of the countryside, there lived a young girl named Lily. Lily had always been fascinated by plants and the wonders of nature. Her passion for gardening had grown over the years, and she had turned her family's backyard into a beautiful and flourishing garden. One day, while exploring the outskirts of the village, Lily stumbled upon an old, dusty book hidden within the bushes. Curiosity got the better of her, and she decided to take it home and have a closer look. Little did she know, this book held the secret to a unique and unusual garden spell.

Massachusetts, 1650: A crowd of soberly clad Puritans celebrates their victory over some pesky local witches. But Jonathan Woolley isn’t so sure celebration is in order, because one witch, who took the form of a beautiful young woman, cursed him. It was an odd curse, dooming him and all of his descendants to unhappy marriages. Jonathan scoffs; but the next scenes show his descendants marrying the wrong woman generation after generation.

Those couples feel that a spiritual woman, with a connection to the earth, who can invoke the old Gods and Goddesses, is just the person to bring luck and success to the marriage. In 17th century Salem, two witches, Jennifer Veronica Lake and her father Daniel Cecil Kellaway , are burned at the stake, and an oak tree is planted over their ashes to trap their spirits.

Little did she know, this book held the secret to a unique and unusual garden spell. As Lily began flipping through the pages of the book, she discovered a section dedicated to extraordinary plant spells. Her eyes widened with anticipation as she read about a spell that could bring a garden to life, like nothing she had ever seen before.

Witch for Wedding

…So you think you've got everything ready for your wedding, do you?
The flowers, the ice sculpture, the dress, the embarrassing aunt, the Witch… The Witch?!

Welcome to the now!

Witches, once fearful lonely persons hiding from persecution, are the new black. Everyone knows a witch, or has heard of one, be it your daughter's best friend who's exploring ‘the old ways', or that lady in Southall who always wears pink and can bring your lover back – payment after results.
As the fires of the burnings died down, some witches stopped shying away. Little by little the position of the village wise woman was re-filled. In the last few decades witches became counsellors, herbalists, nurses (and, funnily enough, an astounding number of IT consultants) to reclaim their calling of helping their folk.

Witches marry in a ceremony called ‘handfasting', which is led by one or two fellow witches who act as priestess and priest. In a handfasting, the wrists of the willing couple are bound together to show their free will to be joined together in love. Some handfastings are for life, some last for all of your incarnations, or they could last as long as the bride and groom are in love (one for the commitment phobics). The most popular type of handfasting lasts a year and a day, and the vows are renewed every year.

As well as having a handfasting ceremony, most witches have their union registered in a more formal wedding, either to please their families or for legal reasons.

Now, it seems, tradition went a full cycle, and there are cases of non-pagan couples who choose to have their wedding blessed by a witch. Those couples feel that a spiritual woman, with a connection to the earth, who can invoke the old Gods and Goddesses, is just the person to bring luck and success to the marriage.

Those people invite Inbaal to their wedding.

Inbaal is a thoroughly modern witch. She doesn't follow one particular set of Deities, believing, instead, that each spell or blessing is individual and requires different herbs and chants.

When called upon to bless a wedding, Inbaal will gather the guests around the couple.
She will tell a story about an appropriate pair of deities. For example noble Here, the white-armed queen of heaven, Goddess of marriage and childbirth, and her husband great Zeus, the Thunderer, King of the Gods and Lord of the Sky. Or perhaps Hades, the Wealthy One, Ruler of the Underworld, and his young and beautiful Queen Persephone. At times simply Aphrodite (Venus) will be mentioned – she is the Goddess of Love and Beauty and generally just likes to have a good time.

When the Gods have been remembered and honoured, Inbaal will perform the ceremony in their names.

She ties the wrists of the husband-and-wife-to-be, explaining to the guests the symbolism of it, and then blesses them with each of the elements. The element of Air brings intellect and communication to the nuptials. Fire can bless them with undying passion and ambition. The emotional Water element would ensure their love would keep flowing, and Earth caps it nicely with security and stability. Often the couple would be happy to share their blessings with their guests.

Bride and groom then, aided by Inbaal, bless a drink, from which they drink first and then pass a chalice of drink around for all their friends and family, singles and couples alike, to sip from.
The traditional way of sealing a marriage ceremony is jumping over the broomstick. The witches' broom is a symbol of the joining of the female (twigs) with the male (stem), and jumping over it brings equality and endurance to the wedding.

After the newlyweds jump the broomstick, all couples who want their union blessed are invited to jump as well. This would normally seal the ritual, after which, if the witchy theme of the evening is to be kept, Inbaal can be found in the corner of the hall with her crystal ball and Tarot cards, doing readings and making herbal charm bags. Any quirky request is catered for, and charms can be made to bless an unborn child, to promote monetary success, to bring luck and stability, or whatever you may think you need magic for.

Now, that witchcraft is nearly mainstream, you find them everywhere. Inbaal arrives to the weddings purple-cloaked and robed and wearing a floral garland. ‘What's the point of being a witch', she says, ‘if no-one can tell?'

Intrigued, Lily decided to give the spell a try. Gathering the necessary ingredients listed in the book, Lily set out to cast the unusual garden spell. She planted her favorite flower, a radiant red rose, in the center of her garden and began reciting the incantation written in the book. As she spoke the words, a gentle breeze swept through the garden, carrying with it an air of magic. Suddenly, the ground beneath the rose began to tremble, and Lily watched in awe as the flower started to grow at an alarming rate. Its vibrant petals expanded, and its stem shot up towards the sky, reaching heights that no other plant had ever achieved. The once small and delicate rose had transformed into a towering masterpiece. But it wasn't just the rose that had been affected by the spell. Lily looked around her garden and gasped as she saw the other flowers and plants undergo their own extraordinary transformations. The daisies sprouted wings and took flight, the tulips changed colors with each passing second, and the vines twisted and turned in mesmerizing patterns. Lily couldn't believe her eyes. Her garden had become a breathtaking spectacle, an enchanted oasis where reality and magic merged. The unusual garden spell had unleashed the hidden potential of nature, breathing life into the plants and bestowing them with extraordinary powers. Word spread quickly about Lily's extraordinary garden, and people from far and wide came to witness its beauty. They marveled at the floating daisies, the color-changing tulips, and the whimsical patterns created by the vines. Lily became known as the village's resident magician, the one who had unlocked the secret to a garden filled with wonder and awe. But as the seasons changed, so did the garden. With each passing year, different spells took effect, and the plants continued to evolve and surprise visitors. Lily's garden became a living testament to the endless possibilities of nature and the magic that lies within. And so, the tale of Lily and her unusual garden spell lived on, captivating the imaginations of all who heard it. It serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most extraordinary things can be found in the most unexpected places and that with a little bit of magic and a whole lot of love, even the humblest of gardens can become a wonderland of enchantment..
