The Lotus Petals embodies all of the powerful, eloquent qualities of the lotus flower. Still, it is particularly ideal for fertility spells, as the seed pockets can represent the female womb. Incorporating lotus root into your rituals can help you open your root chakra, draw love into your life, call forth abundance, generate a more robust connection to the divine feminine, and overcome obstacles. When you find yourself in need of wisdom and strength, keep a lotus root handy and rise from the dirt to bloom into your beauty.
