If you are seeing this then you have been chosen by the universe

Remember this date: August 27th

You'll see

i don't believe that you become a witch. it was within and around you all along.

every time you'd collect rocks as a child, or spoke to the moon when you needed comfort, or even when that warm, tingling sensation would hit you while walking in the woods. it was always the little things that didn't quite make sense.

it was calling to you, remember that. you're no less just because you figured it out later.

☀️ Yule Energy Sun Spell ☀️

Recently I’ve been feeling burnt out, and I was struggling to find a spell to do on Yule, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone!

feel free to alter this spell as needed

ingredients

☀️ a gold/yellow candle

☀️ orange, lemon, and grapefruit* slices, preferably dried

☀️ one full orange

☀️ a cup or chalice

steps:

☀️ lay your fruit slices in a circle around you and your altar and say: “with each slice that i place, i make this circle my sacred space.”

☀️ light your candle

☀️ grab your full orange and wave it through the smoke, visualise the energy of the sun transferring into the orange

☀️ once you’ve decided you’ve waved in the smoke for long enough, take your orange and squeeze its juice into the chalice/cup

☀️ when you have enough juice to drink, stop squeezing and drink all the juice

☀️ once finished, thank the sun for lending you his energy and blow out your candle

…and there you have it! Merry Yule!

* you can substitute these with any citrus fruit, lemon, orange, and grapefruit are just my preferred fruits for this spell

Witchy Lavender Milk Tea

Ingredients:

1/4 Teaspoon Lavender

Freshly Boiled Water

1/2 Cup milk of your choice (cow milk, goat milk, almond milk, whatever)

1/4 Teaspoon vanilla extract

Honey (If you don't have raw honey, purified will be fine)

Instructions:

Pour your boiled water into a mug, leaving plenty of room.

Put the lavender into a tea strainer or tea bag, or leave it loose. Place it in the mug. While this is steeping, pour the half cup of milk into a saucepan/milk steamer/whatever.

Warm it on medium heat until it starts steaming, stirring constantly. While you stir, sing a lullaby of your choice (or use a sleep chant; whichever you prefer). I sing "Lullabye" by Fall Out Boy or "A Twist In My Story" by Secondhand Serenade.

Once your milk is steamed, add the vanilla to it. Remove the lavender from the tea and stir in as much honey as you want. Keep in mind that lavender is very bitter, so you will need at least a tablespoon.

Finally, add the milk. Stir it in and enjoy!

To the menstruating anon, try raspberry leaf, rosehips, and hops (individually) or together in herbal infusion! (Fairly sure there a little to no medical implications to these herbs) ♡

Witchy teas~ Thank you for the tips ^^

(Also, because I forgot about this earlier, be sure to double and triple check any herbs and their effects on the body / hormones / mind / what have you before ingesting!)

Skills For Kitchen Witches

1) Basic Cooking : This is probably pretty obvious and most people interested in kitchen witchcraft know at least the basics. But if you don’t - learn. You can do kitchen magic without even turning on a stove (sandwiches, salads, etc) 

2 ) Cooking From Scratch : Start with basics and get more complicated. Basic things can include - Soups, Sauces, Marinated or Seasoned Meat, Potato Dishes. 

3 ) Baking and Baking From Scratch : Baking from a box is perfectly valid. you can add things like fruit or nuts, you can make frostings or fillings, you can decorate. But baking from scratch is also a good skill. Pies, Pastries, Cakes, Etc. Also remember savory baking (like bread, meat pies, etc)

4 ) “Drink Potions” : Any drink really. Coffee, Tea, Juice, Milkshakes, Etc 

5 ) Canning, Pickling, Preserving : I have limited experience in this, but there are lots of recipes for “Freezer Jam” or “Refrigerator Pickles” and im going to start with them. 

6 ) Cheese Making, Yogurt Making : Another thing i have no experience in, but you can buy kits online for a decent price.
