Incantation text

This incantation originates from the Slavic Trinity tradition:

White birch, green leaves so fair, With spring's power filled, renewed with care. Enter my home, bring protection near, A Trinity blessing from above so dear. With green you bloom — and so my life shall bloom, A birch leaf carries luck, dispelling gloom. By Trinity sealed, by greenery crowned, Well-being at home — forever found.

What to do after the reading

• Leave the birch branches in the home for the entire Trinity week
• Take dried branches to a birch tree and lay them at its roots
• Let the candle burn down, bury the stub in the garden

Important warnings

Trinity ceremonies are part of folk-church tradition. Do not break living trees — use already fallen branches or with permission. Treat nature with respect.
