| Eggs are potent symbols of fertility and reference the ongoing, interconnected cycles of life and birth.
Bless each egg before using, and offer thanks as the egg is cracked. Cook with eggs: Make a quiche, custard pie, or deviled eggs. Serve an all-the-eggs-you-can-eat breafast! Meditate on the circular forms as symbols of solar energies. Dye eggs with natural colors. Simmer eggs with onion skins for golden-brown eggs, or in pureed beets for pink, or parsley for green. Use a white crayon to inscribe a symbol or rune on the shell before dying: perhaps Fehu (new journeys), Ihwaz (transformation), or a simple cosmic spiral. Or dye eggs with concentrated vegetable food colors: green for properity, blue for peace, red for energy, yellow for success, purple for the mysteries. Rinse the used eggshells and crumble them over your planting beds. They will add calcium to the soil as well as solar and fertility influences. |
