clover

1. I took the petals of four roses and placed them in a large pot. Put enough distilled water to cover the roses, not much more as to not dilute the water.

2. Heat to a simmer on a medium/low heat. Cover and let simmer for 20-30 minutes until the petals are pinkish.

3. Strain into another pot, let it cool before putting it in a jar or container to store.

Bonus: To make some facial mist I put 1tbs of the rosewater into a 2oz spray bottle and fill the rest of the bottle with distilled water.

I’ve been making these muffins a lot this summer, so I thought I would share them with you all! Everyone seems to really like them, and I feel like they’ve done their job of strengthening and reviving my friendships with others.

This recipe makes 12 standard size muffins. Feel free to make substitutions to the recipe as you see fit! 

Recipe:

2 and ¼ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

A pinch of salt

1 cup sugar

½ cup oil (coconut, canola, vegetable)

1 cup light sour cream (can be substituted with plain greek yogurt)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Zest of 1 lemon

1 and ½ cups (12 oz) fresh raspberries

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit. Grease a muffin pan or use parchment/foil muffins cups to line the pan.

In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder/soda, and salt. Make sure all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.

In a medium size bowl mix together the sugar, oil, sour cream, eggs, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.

Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients and fold until combined. Be careful not to over mix!

Fold in the raspberries until evenly distributed. (A tip I use to make sure all the berries don’t sink to the bottom is that I mix them with a little bit of flour before I fold them into the mix.

Use an ice cream scoop to evenly divide the mixture into you’re already greased/lined muffin pan.

Bake for 18-25 minutes depending on oven type. To check to see if the muffins are done you can insert a toothpick into a few of them. If the toothpick comes out clean, then they are done!

Magic and Correspondences:

Lemon- Purification, healing, removal of any negative influences or blockages. The yellow from the zest corresponds with friendship and healing.

Raspberries- Growth, the strengthening of relationships. The red of the berries is associated with passion, desire, renewal, and joy. 

Sugar- Sweetens not only the muffins, but the magic of them too. It can sweeten the bond and energy in your relationship.

 Vanilla- Love, passion, peace, and luck.

Lavender Syrup

Ingredients – makes 2 x 190 ml jars

1.5 cups water

1.5 cups granulated sugar

2 tablespoons fresh lavender blossoms

few drops of purple food colouring (optional but will stay clear without it)

Method

Place al the ingredients into a pan over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.

Bring all ingredients to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and allow to steep 30 minutes.

Return to the heat and bring back to the boil.

Pour into sterilised jars and seal with lids.

Witch Tip: Use an oil diffuser, instead of charcoal, for resins and other herb mixes. Slow melting and gentler on the eyes and nose. This would probably be useful for closet witches too.

Bonus recipe:

“Old energy” is a good place to start when learning to sense spirits.

You know an item of your best friend’s that just FEELS like them? Or when you’re in a thrift store, you can get impressions of the person who used to own the object you’re holding? 

And May Day celebrations.

Modern day Beltane is a fire and life festival in which we welcome the coming of summer. The version we celebrate today is a loosely watered down of the Gaelic festival, which is where the origins of Beltane lie. Some prefer simply to celebrate May Day instead. Beltane happens on the 1st of May, but some choose to celebrate Beltane Eve.

Beltane is known in it’s modern incarnation as being a fertility festival, but this is not the only aspect of the holiday. Many choose to honour the fresh life in nature as the summer comes instead of fertility as the whole sex thing is an uncomfortable topic for some. 

My Recommendations 

To me, Beltane is all about opening up to feeling those summer vibes. I like to encourage plants around me to grow, feeI the warmth of life that has returned. It is said that jumping over a fire during Beltane will give you luck and wishes for the rest of the summer. It might be a little unsafe to do this however, so i’d suggest doing it with a few candles instead if you plan on it. Make flower crowns. If you’re interested in working with fae, now is the time to grab their attention. Do spells for the rest of the summer to be a good one. Sing all night long to encourage the plants to grow. Allow happiness to pour into you like honey. Open yourself up to having fun and being carefree.
