“You Can’t Feel My Heart” I Said

just discovered RSL was Atticus Finch in a 2013 play of To Kill a Mocking Bird. I’m going insane trying to find any photo or video evidence of this.

Traditional Irish Soda Bread for Lughnasadh 🌻🍂🌞🌿

This bread is extremely easy to make, quick, and simple but delicious! Being a traditional and antiquated Irish recipe, it’s a wonderful choice of bread to make for Lughnasdah. Irish Soda Bread is also a bread that doesn’t keep for more than a few days, so it’s best for sharing with friends and family during a meal or celebration to ensure it’s all eaten quickly!

You Will Need:

3 cups of white all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsps of baking soda

1 1/2 cups of buttermilk (you can substitute regular milk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar)

Instructions:

Mix the flour and baking soda in a bowl, and then stir in the milk slowly, incorporating the milk in small increments. I used a wooden spoon to do this until the dough started to form, and then I switched and used my hands. Be careful not to over-stir or over-knead the bread.

Once the dough starts to form, place it on a lightly floured baking sheet and carefully shape it into a rounded disc, approximately 6” - 7” in diameter, and 2” thick.

Brush on melted butter over the top of the bread dough you have shaped, and sprinkle desired herbs on top. (I used rosemary and thyme) Then, cut an X into the top, or you could use any other desired symbol!

Bake at 400 F for 20 - 30 minutes, mine took about 26 minutes! Remove from stove and allow it to set on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. After an hour, the bread should be set and good to slice and share! I placed mine in a basket wrapped in a towel.

Red is a gorgeous color, isn’t it? 

Well in magick, it actually has quite powerful meanings that can connected to Aphrodite.

Red correspondence ~ passion, love, courage, strength, beauty, energy, assertiveness, determination.

*Recipe makes a two layer cake*

I am really proud of this red velvet recipe, it’s so good!

Magickal properties of the cake based on its ingredients: self-love, confidence, beauty, passion, courage, strength.

Where do I get my sources?: I have been practicing for 4 years now, so I pretty much can look at an ingredient, and know what it’s magickal properties are, even though before I post, I always fact check things. I have read a lot of books and articles on it. Here are some of my favorites…

𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐤𝐞:

½ cup melted butter 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup buttered flavored shortening 3 cups cake flour  3 tbsp cream cheese 1 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp cocoa powder Pinch of salt 4 large eggs, room temperature and separated 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1 tsp distilled white vinegar A couple drops red food coloring 1 cup buttermilk

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠:

¾ cup unsalted butter ¾ of a 8 oz brick cream cheese 5 ½ cups powdered sugar 2 tsp vanilla extract

𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

Preheat you oven to 350 F.

In a large mixing bowl, cream your shortening, melted butter, cream cheese, and sugar together. Beat in your egg yolks. Mix in your vanilla, vinegar, and buttermilk. Now fold in your dry ingredients gently for a light and fluffy cake. 

Beat your egg whites on high speed until they become stiff peaks. Fold into your batter gently until just combined. Add in red food coloring until you reach your desired color, and mix until even.

Light a candle if you wish and fill the batter with your intentions.

Butter and flour two cake tins and pour the batter evenly into both of them. Pop them into the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until you stick a toothpick in the center of the cake, and it comes out clean, making sure not to overcook the cake.

After 1 hour of cooling, remove the cakes from the pans, so they can fully cool correctly.

For the frosting, cream your butter, sugar, and cream cheese on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes. Mix in your vanilla extract and beat for another minute. If the frosting is too thick for your liking, add in a tablespoon of heavy cream or half and half.

Assemble the cake to your liking! Offer a piece to Aphrodite and enjoy!!!

Strawberry Mint Lemonade

½ C. Granulated White Sugar

½ C. Water

4 Lemons, Juiced (about ½-¾ C.)

½ C. Sliced Strawberries

1 Tbsp. Granulated Sugar

¼ C. Fresh Mint Leaves

2 C. Water

(I know the way I wrote out the measurements is funky, but it is divided for how it needs to be used.)

Begin by slicing your strawberries and put them in a small bowl. Toss with 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar and set aside.

In a small pot, stir together ½ cup granulated white sugar with ½ cup water. Turn the burner on low and heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, creating a simple syrup. Remove from heat.

Either chop up your mint leaves or grind them in a mortar and pestle to release the oils. Mix it in with your strawberries. After about 10 minutes, mash up your strawberries with a fork or potato masher to help release the juices.

Add your strawberry-mint mixture to a small container (I used a jar, but you can use a small pitcher or whatever you have on hand). Pour warm simple syrup over the fruit and let stand for a few minutes. Mix aggressively, or shake if you are using a jar. Add the lemon juice and 2 cups of cold water. Stir well. Let stand in the fridge for several hours, or overnight.

If you are like me and hate pulp in your drinks: let the mixture stand overnight and strain into another container to get rid of the floaty bits. 

Note: I like pretty sour lemonade, so if you don’t love sour things either use less lemon juice or increase the amount of simple syrup.
