Maple Seeds
CAD $6.50
Used in moon magic, spiritual healing, and spells related to travel, learning and decision making, especially in matters related bringing about or dealing with change. Believed to repel demons and evil spirits, it was customary in many houses to have a piece of a maple tree in the main door. They symbolize balance, offering, practical magic, promise, longevity, generosity, and intelligence. One reason behind these meanings is that maple trees have the ability to adapt to many different soil types and climates. An important tree in the Celtic mythology, it was consecrated to Dana, the Celtic goddess of fertility, and known as the tree of the tolerance. In China, maple is associated with honour, and its leaves are a motif in Japanese ukiyo-e paintings representing love and autumn.
Maple sugar was being made by the Native Americans long before European colonists came to America. A number of stories exist to explain where the practice came from. One story says that when the Creator first made the world, maple syrup ran from maple trees all the time. One day Glooskap came by and saw that all the villagers were laying under the trees letting the syrup run into their mouths and all the work was undone and the fields overgrown. So he made the sap runny and told the people that if they wanted syrup they’d have to work for it and showed them how to turn the runny sap into a sweet, thick syrup. Another story says that the red squirrel first showed a hunter how to get a sweet sap from the maple. He liked to bite off the branches to make the sap ooze out and when it had dried into a sugar crust would come back and lick it joyfully.
