Learn to use apples in witchcraft, magick and experience apple season as an enchanted realm of earthly delights.
The apple might be best described as the “red-headed mistress of literary symbolism.” From scandalous biblical scripture to the envy-green jealousy of a fairy tale queen and her poisoned fruit, this beautiful garden gem bears quite a reputation as a mischief-maker!
For the modern witch, the apple tree calls to mind all the ethereal intrigue of daring to explore what lies beyond the ordinary five senses. Walk through an apple orchard and feel the living, moving, earth-shattering energy that swirls invisibly around us.
Curiosity piqued? Head to a pick-your-own farm and try one of these spell ideas while apple picking season lasts!
Surround the Empress card from the tarot with apple slices (dried or fresh) and leave them on the altar for help with fertility.
In Western lore, apples strongly symbolize knowledge and self-awareness. Pour a libation of apple juice during your next ritual to ask for the gift of insight or to seek help with life decisions.
Apples may be used in weight loss spells or spells for seekers fighting addictive patterns. Bury an apple with tobacco (or another symbol of vice) and light a candle every night for a full moon cycle to support earnest efforts at breaking negative habits.
Add apples peels to a large pot or cauldron of water with cinnamon, allspice and/or ginger root to infuse your home with romance. Great for date night!
If you cut an apple in half (the “fat way,” not the “tall way,” if that makes sense), you will find a pentacle star in the middle. Press spell ingredients into the flesh or or use it to symbolize earth on an all-natural altar.
Apple branches make gorgeous wands. Leave yours natural, or decorate it with gemstones, shells, sea glass, feathers, ect.
As the “veil between worlds” thins between Mabon & Samhain, our connection to our ancestors grows closer. Apples symbolize the food of the dead, so leave them on the altar to honor your ancestors and welcome them to “feast with you” during the harvest season.
All parts of the apple are appropriate for inclusion in rituals for heightened awareness, but the dried blossoms make especially convenient loose incense.
The bitter seeds of an apple make excellent additions to mojo bags, spells or amulets for protection.
Apples symbolize abundance and growth, making them the perfect “centerpiece” tree for garden magic.
If you live in a climate where apple trees do well and you lucked into a home with land, consider planting one.
The commitment of an apple tree to your homestead will bless you for years to come.
