Avocado/Persea is a sacred tree of the Egyptians.
The ancient
Egyptians usually made their wands out of acacia or persea (avocado
tree), and the wood cuttings should be used in sacrificial fire – just
sacrifice the branches,
nothing else, please.
Priestesses of Apollo
chewed the leaves and inhaled their smoke to induce a psychic state of
mind, however, I would not recommend this
as per this documentation:
The leaves of avocado in doses exceeding 20 g fresh leaf per kg bodyweight, produced damage to the mammary gland
with decreased milk production in an animal study. [3] Six of 21 goats feeding on fresh avocado leaves from pruned
trees, showed clinical signs of cardiac distress. [6] Ingestion of avocado leaves also caused lung oedema, hydrothorax,
severe myocardial degeneration, necrosis and fibrosis in 15 Cameroon goats. [7] In a study, nine out of 120 ostriches
died from congestive heart failure within 96 h of ingesting avocado leaves and immature fruit in an avocado orchard
containing Hass and Fuerte cultivars.[27] Finally, researchers from Kenya observed dyspnoea, pulmonary oedema,
abdominal enlargement and signs of elevated liver enzymes from two dogs which had a fondness for avocado fruits.

The ancient Aztecs believed the fruit of the Avocado would infuse one
with lust.
Growing an Avocado plant is said to bring love into the
home.
If you don’t want to plant the pit,
you can carry it with you to
promote beauty.
And, of course, we know wands made from avocado branches
are powerful.
What then, about the leaves?
Apart from being dangerous
to ingest?
What can the leaves do for us in a magickal sense? I’d be
happy to tell you.
We know that the very tree is revered by some very powerful Egyptian
deities.
It is associated with love and beauty.
Many aren’t aware that,
if you do not “enchant” your herbs, artifacts, etc., that they may or
may not help very much.
All enchantment is, basically,
is telling a
herb, leaf, wand, artifact, stone, etc. what you wish it to do.
Whilst
not much is written about the leaf of the Avocado/Persea tree,
it is
indeed just as magickal as any other leaf of any other tree,
perhaps
more so, if you know what you expect of it.
"My son, who is of the Egyptian pantheon, and a very strong Shaman,
uses the dried Avocado leaves, crushed and ground, along with some other
herbs that are sacred to Egyptian deities as an offering to Anubis and
Bastet (along with a few Tiger’s Eye stones for Bastet).
He also finds
that ground bits of Avocado leaf in certain oils he makes for use in his
practise
adds a bit of extra power.
He also scatters the ground-up
leaves to the four corners for certain rituals
and also burns a pinch of
the ground, dried leaves in outdoor ceremonies
and sometimes only a
small pinch in certain incenses,
depending on what he is seeking in the
ritual.
I don’t think it’s harmed him yet, still, I recommend due care
in burning the leaves.
Certainly don’t burn them in an enclosed area."

Avocado Money Spell
Avocados have been known for their power to bring money and prosperity.
On the night of a waxing or a full moon hold the avocado in
both of your hands,
while visualizing yourself attaining your financial
goals.
To add even more power to the spell, create a chant and say this
as well.
Eat the avocado and save the pit.
The pit can be carried as a
talisman to draw money
or added to a money drawing conjure bag.
