Mabon 2020

I very methodically made a pie, but just for the lil witchlings at home let me tell you a secret...  Everything was store bought.  The pie crust- store bought.  Apple pie filling- store bought.  Syrup & brown sugar- store bought.  

So, step 1 with pie is to dust both sides of the crust (after carefully laying it out) with flour.  I also use a rolling pin to kind of straighten any ridges and smooth things.  On a whim I did this- originally I was going to use cinnamon but couldn’t find cinnamon because it had fallen off the shelf.  So I used 100% pure maple syrup that I save for special occasions and drew an acorn on the base of the pie then a circle around the acorn.  I uh, listen, art is not my strong suit, I did my best finger painting of an acorn.  If the universe doesn’t judge my shoddy art, neither should you.

The acorn is to represent Mabon, growth, prosperity, and new life.  The circle, well, we all have feelings about circles and I’d like to keep mine to myself.  

After that, I dusted it with brown sugar (unpictured) to sweeten the new life, prosperity, and growth; basically, I want a nice easy growth for a bit, not a hard knocks life of u gonna learn to gro today.

Step2, the apples.  This is unpictured, but this is where a lot of the ~magic~ came in.  I very carefully arranged each apple slice with a fork so they formed a ring in the pie, they were all facing the same direction, etc.  This is where I put a lot of energy.  The goal wasn’t to make it perfection, the goal was to put my intent and love into placing each apple where it goes.  

Step3, the crust.  I’m not uh, the most gifted artist.  I tried to make leaves, you know, fall leaves, tie it all together...  If you’re like me and your leaves are awkward and you kind of wish you used a cookie cutter instead, just do what I do and go “well, fuck it, the universe knows what I meant and I tried my best” and pop that baby in the oven.  The leaves go above the acorn because the acorn grows into a sweet little tree of leaves.
