Lughnasadth {Fantasy} Feast

Continuing the tradition of making fantasy feasts that one day I will get to enjoy for real! At least I am planning a fruit tart for this sabbat! So its like 10% real. (Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Mabon, Samhain, Yule).

This is the first harvest of the year and the summer harvest! There will naturally be lots of wheat, bread and corn, fruits and ripe vegetables! It’s a very green and gold feast which is fitting because it represents rewards earned through hard work. You can look at my post of personal correspondences for more info or follow my Lughnasadth tag!

Starters: Grilled and Baked Aubergine ‘Pizza’ Beer Cheese dip in bread bowl Spiced Corn on the Cob

Sides: Cast Iron Skillet Ratatouille Bread with berries Garlic Herb Roasted Potatoes Buttery Cornbread

Main: Grilled Whole Fish with Lemongrass, Lime and Mint

Dessert: Peach Cobbler in a Skillet Blueberry Tart Canteloupe in Coconut Rose Cream Chocolate Coins

Drinks: Beer! Watermelon Mint Fizz 

It’s a cocktail but I would make it a non-alcoholic option

Mint Julep

- May your bacon always burn.

- Your frying pans will always be warped and lopsided.

- May your wooden spoons give you splinters.

- Your oven will never be the temperature it says it is.

- May your glassware always be scummy.

- Your pies will always come out too liquid-y and your crusts pasty and not flaky.

- Your mixing bowls will have secret holes in the bottom.

- May your whipping cream turn to butter

- Your butter will always be too hard.

- May your brown sugar dry out and be one solid mass.

- You will never have the right sized lid for your pots.

- Your fudge will always burn.

- May your Christmas baking get eaten beforehand.

1 - The core energy of this relationship What defines this relationship? What energy do this person and I create when we are together?

2 - What this person brings out in me Which quality does this person most inspire in me? What kind of person do I tend to be when they’re in my life?

3 - What I bring out in them Which quality do I most inspire in them? What kind of person to they aspire to be when I’m a part of their life?

5 - What brings them closer to me What, for them, will strengthen our bond? What should I encourage if I want this person to grow closer to me and feel more affectionate toward me?

Just in time for Valentine’s Day! I wanted to build a simple love tarot spread that could apply equally well to everyone, regardless of whether they’re currently in a relationship. This spread can be used to help you develop and understand an existing relationship OR to give you insight about how to recognize, prepare for, or kindle a new one with a special someone!

this is the perfect grade of good luck
