Pomegranate
(Punica
granatum)
My
dad used to buy us a pomegranate each when we were children, he would give us
the fruit and a pin to pick out the seeds, I suspect it was purely to keep us
quiet for a bit…
The
pomegranate always seems like a grand and extravagant fruit to me, maybe it is
the colour of all the seeds inside. It
is sacred to Persephone (the pomegranate appears in her stories) and Ceres and
represents growth and fertility.
Eat
pomegranate seeds whilst visualising your intent and if your will is strong
enough your wish will come true.
This
fruit is often associated with Samhain and the Underworld (see the story of
Persephone and Hades) so I think it works well for death and rebirth workings
as well as new beginnings.
