It's Autumn, which means if I make a Big Pot of Soup it will Fix Everything. No one fact check me on this. We need to let the soup speak for itself.

What is Samhain?
Samhain, celebrated from October 31st to November 1st in the Northern Hemisphere and from April 30th to May 1st in the Southern Hemisphere, is a sacred time when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest. During this festival, the boundaries between realms dissolve, allowing the unseen to come forward. Itâs a time to honor our ancestors and offer them hospitality as we transition into the darker half of the year. While it marks the end of the old year, Samhain also heralds the beginning of a new one, reminding us that death is always followed by rebirth, making this festival a powerful moment of transformation.
It is pronounced "Sow-en," which means "summer's end" and aligns with Halloween in the Northern Hemisphere. Samhain marks the time when the Earth enters a period of rest, the days shorten, and winter begins its slow arrival. During this time, the air becomes crisper, the nights grow longer, and the warmth of summer fades, symbolizing the end of one cycle and the start of another.
Samhain holds deep significance as it is a time to remember and honor those we have lost. The thinning of the veil allows for a stronger connection with ancestors, spirits, and otherworldly beings. While itâs a time to venerate these spirits and fair folk, who are particularly active during this liminal period, itâs also essential to protect oneself from any harmful entities that may cross through.
A key aspect of Samhain is honoring and respecting the dead. One simple yet meaningful tradition is to set an extra place at the table for any spirit or ancestor, offering them a meal. Many witches also visit cemeteries to pay respects, not only to their own ancestors but also to those forgotten by time, ensuring no spirit is left without recognition.

Morrigan x Dagda and Samhain
According to legend, the Irish deities the Dagda and the Morrigan consummate their relationship today to ensure the fertility of land, people, and animals for the year to come. The Dagda, âthe good god,â is the tribal father god; the Morrigan, âthe phantom queen,â is often described as a âbattle goddess,â although that only hints at her powers. She begins the Great Rite in the form of an old hag but is rejuvenated by the union, regaining her youth and beauty. On the eve of Samhain, the Dagda, god of strength and fertility, meets the Morrigan, goddess of war and fate, at the River Unius. As he prepares for battle against the Fomorians, ancient enemies of the Tuatha DĂŠ Danann, he encounters the Morrigan bathing in the river. They make love, a symbolic act representing the union of the land (the Morrigan) with its protector (the Dagda). In return, the Morrigan promises to aid the Tuatha DĂŠ Danann, using her powers of prophecy and battle to help them secure victory. Her role as a goddess of fate is essential, shaping the outcome of the war and the future of the land.

I put in my notice last week at my toxic job! I will be starting my new job on the new moon, how fitting. đđ
I am manifesting a healthier work environment, and even though it's longer hours, I'm hoping I feel more balance.

Raspbery nutty muffins I made for Lammas.
I used to make these each year for Lughnasadh. They are delicious! Highly recommend!
Thinking about these muffins today đ
This year's Lughnasadh altar along with a little corn dolly I made.đžđťđž
Blessed Lammas/Lughnasadh to my followers who celebrate it!
I hope you have a wonderful day! If you do grow anything, I hope your harvest is plentiful!Â

Lammas Bread
In honor of the upcoming LAMMAS celebration Iâve found this lovely gluten-free recipeâŚ
This recipe sounds interesting!! As of recent events my sister has had to go on a gluten free diet per 6 different doctorsâŚwhich means that I need to be more gluten free friendly in the way I think about cookingâŚ
Gluten-Free Gypsy Soda Bread:
Found this recipe of the Gluten-Free Goddess Blogâ,
Dry ingredients:
2/3 cup Pamelaâs Ultimate Baking Mix - or other self-rising GF baking mix
½ cup Bobâs Red Mill Gluten-Free Cornmeal- or almond meal if you avoid corn
½ cup sorghum flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Wet Ingredients:
ž cup buttermilk or plain non-dairy milk with 1 teaspoon lemon juice added
2 large free-range organic eggs- room temperature- or Ener-G Egg ReplacerÂ
4 tablespoons light olive oil
Stir In:
1 rounded teaspoon caraway or anise seeds, to taste
½ cup golden raisins, dried cherries, dates, or currants
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350ÂşF. Lightly oil a 7 or 8-inch cake pan and dust it with cornmeal (or almond meal).
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
Whisk the wet ingredients together in a separate bowl.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour the wet into the dry ingredients, gently mixing as you go [I use a soft silicone or rubber spatula]. When the dough is evenly moist, add the caraway and raisins. Stir only briefly to mix them in.
Scrape and spoon out the dough into the prepared cake pan; and using moist palms, flatten and shape the dough into a round loaf. Sprinkle with a very light dusting of cornmeal or gluten-free flour.
Place the pan into the center of a preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the loaf is golden and crusty. Insert a wooden toothpick into the center if you like, to test for doneness. It should feel firm and âthumpâ as if it is hollow when you tap it.
Cool on a wire rack for ten minutes; and turn the loaf out of the pan to cool to room temperature - although itâs best warm and tender from the oven, I think, even if it crumbles a bit. Serves 8.

Good Witchkeeping!

Kitchen Witch Tip
When working with magical recipes, stir clockwise when you want to add something or grow something (Ex: prosperity). Stir counter clockwise when you want to be rid of something (Ex: banishment).
