Poppy Seeds
In witchcraft, poppy seeds can represent many things, in many different ways. But for this post, I'm going to keep it relatively simple and focus on one of my favorite ways to utilize this seed: pleasure. I'm sure that many people assume that this is a sexual thing because they can also represent love and lust, but that's not always the case!
Pleasure in life: If you're looking for more pleasure in life, there are a hundred and ten ways to help with that. Poppy seeds in a success spell jar can be extremely beneficial to increasing the joy you take out of life.
Pleasure with yourself: Self-love is a tough thing for a lot of us to achieve. There's always going to be something about us that makes it feel difficult or even impossible to have. Through time, self-forgiveness, therapy, and other means of helping yourself, it can be achieved. If you feel like a little help is necessary, a self-love ritual can include poppy seeds to help you enjoy yourself, your own company, or even just who you are as a person.
Pleasure in the home: Sometimes it's hard to like your home, I get it. Family and roommates can make it hard to feel yourself while you're there. Adding poppy seeds to a housewarming spell or ritual can help take the edge off and help you learn how to enjoy your surroundings.
Pleasure with friendship: We've all had moments with friends where we're worried that it could tear us apart. Luckily, through communication and boundary-setting, this can be avoided. Poppy seeds can also help! By adding them from something as simple as a spell jar invoking better personal boundary-setting or even patience with that friend, it can make it easier to find the good parts of that friendship again.
Of course, there are about a thousand other ways to incorporate poppy seeds into your craft, but I'll leave that up to you to research and discover on your own!
As always, do your research, be kind to yourself, and blessed be.
