larger scale garden beds:

this design is largely inspired by isaac hill's zodiac garden

if you have a large enough space, a centerpiece garden can be designed to represent your personal natal chart, or to represent the seven classical luminaries (or the modern planets, if you have enough space). a smaller pot garden may be created as a centerpiece.

smaller scale container garden

each zodiac sign could be represented by a single potted plant, or even a vase for flowers.

as the centerpiece, you could represent your natal chart with crystals representing each planetary placement; in a similar fashion you could create a constantly moving orrery out of crystals. or utilize this space as an astrolatry altar, for spellwork and offerings to the luminaries.

The sweetloaf, sweetest meatloaf this side of the midwest! It embraces the sticky candy-like taste, while the salty meat serves to offset that sugary flavor. This is one of my longer recipes, more ingredients needed than the usual 4-6. But so worth it.

Making The Sugar

A cup of white sugar - Love

Maple Syrup to taste [wing it] - Prosperity, Love

A teaspoon of honey - Happiness, Healing, Love, Purification, Spirituality, Wisdom

If you don't have these ingredients, brown sugar alone will work just the same.

Making The Sauce

Sugar Mixture [or Brown Sugar]

Half a cup Catsup - Healing, Love, Prosperity, Protection

Mustard to taste - Courage, Endurance, Faith, Protection

Making the Loaf

2Lbs Ground Beef - Grounding, Prosperity, Protection, Strength

1 Large Egg [or two small eggs] - Protection, Prosperity, Wealth

Garlic [fresh, minced, or powder] - Banishing, Cleansing, Healing, Prosperity, Protection

Onion [fresh, dried, or powder] - Endurance, Healing, Prosperity, Protection

Salt - Cleansing, Grounding, Protection

Black Pepper or Rainbow Pepper - Banishing, Cleansing, Protection

Crushed Crackers/Breadcrumbs or Unflavored Oatmeal - Kinship, Sustenance OR Grounding, Prosperity

1/3rd SAUCE

Fresh Chives [Optional] - Protection

How to make

Mix the ingredients for The Loaf, using 1/3rd of the sauce mixture you've made. Put the meatloaf into a bread pan, pie tin, or Muffin Pan. Top the meatloaf (or personal loafs, if using the muffin tin) with the Sauce mixture. Put in the oven at 350 F for 40 minutes. (The Muffin tin will take a little less time than that). After cooking thoroughly, remove from oven and top with Chives. Let it cool, then dig in!

Possible Sides

Eggs and Biscuits for a hearty breakfast

Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes (The best option IMPO)

Boiled Carrots and Fresh Bread
