Chlorophyll Mysteries

Hidden within every green leaf is a process of deep alchemy which catches the light of the sun in the form of photon particles and converts them into pure life energy- food and fuel. It is the very greenness of the plants that absorb light- a pigment called chlorophyll which is created in the chloroplast cells of most plants and is a temple of mysterious alchemy.

In my work, Chlorophyll acts as a potent sacrament which connects me to the plant spirits and allows me to bring in a medicine which is saturated with verdant power. Chlorophyll is connected to all the plant spirits, and by working with it I am able to attune ever more deeply to their world and their wild ways.

You can find organic, unflavored liquid Chlorophyll at most health food shops. This can be portioned out into a small dropper bottle, the rest being kept in the fridge for preservation. The small bottle, kept on plant spirit shrine, can be worked with to begin, end, or empower a meditation or journey. It can be used to call in blessings, feed the mighty dead, write as a magical ink, or even mark the body for ritual.

Green Realm Attunement Ritual with Chlorophyll

In order to perform this simple ritual, you’ll need liquid Chlorophyll that is unflavored. Most of them are pressed from Alfalfa and have a rich green, mineral taste. While the flavor can be intense for some folks at first, it quickly becomes something craved when needed.

• Create a space that is safe, sacred, and conducive for you. Music, candles, botanical incense, or anything else you enjoy are all encouraged. I perform this ritual in front of my plant spirit shrine before most all meditations, petitions, workings, or spirit flights.
• Spend a few moments just breathing, settling into the land below you and sky around you, and gently opening your heart center. You can place a hand gently over your heart, breathe into your heart center, or just focus your attention there to open it and begin an energy flow to this space which is liminal and magical- perfect for our work with the mighty plant spirits.
• Now, using your creative visualization, imagination, or senses, call forth an awareness of the green realm which both surrounds and saturates our world. Try to just feel the presence of all the plants, seen and unseen, known and known, who grow in endless circles around you. Feel their green energy flowing up and down from roots to fruits. Experience the gentle hum of verdant force that saturates our world as the plant spirits draw it up from the spirit world.
• As you become attuned to this green presence, take several drops of Chlorophyll. Roll the liquid around on your tongue, then swallow it imagining and sensing that it goes into your heart center.
• Draw in the deep green power of the plant spirits all directly into your heart where it is pumped to every fiber of your being.
• Sit and journey, watch, listen, and be present with the Chlorophyll medicine coursing through you. What comes up for you in body, mind, emotions, thoughts, feelings, or spirit? What messages lie in these experiences?
• Affirm with clear intent that you now carry the green realm within you.
• When ready, gently release the vision and return to your usual state of consciousness. Carry the green with you wherever you may wander.
