Traditional Soul Cake Recipe
These cookies are a very old fashioned cookie. Soul Cakes are the started what we know today as trick of treating. They were handed to children/beggar’s in Europe on Halloween after they sang a little tune called “A soulin” they were also left out as offerings to the dead souls and past loved ones.
Recipe:
2 ½ cups of well sifted all purpose flour 2/3 cups (about 10 tbs) softened butter ¾ cup Castor/Super fine sugar or regular sugar. (I’ve use it and it’s just fine) ½ tsp nutmeg ½ tsp cinnamon 1 beaten egg 2 tsp vinegar Sultanas to decorate (u can also use raisins, or dried cranberries as a substitute. I recommend the cranberries 😊)
Sift flour to ensure no clumps. Add softened butter and rub the butter into the flour completely with your fingers till dough is a crumble like consistency. Add sugar and the spices and mix well with a spoon Add beaten egg. Mix with a spoon then hands to form the dough. For extra moister so the cookies don’t fall apart, add 2 tsp vinager. And knead dough again fully mixing the vinager. Form dough in a giant ball, set in a bowl and cover the top of the bowl with cling wrap and let the dough sit for 30 mins.
After the dough has sat, lightly coat your surface in flour. Roll out dough and cut into larger sized circles. (I didn’t have the right cutter so I use the top of a decent sized drinking glass) take a butter knife and cut cross like shape into the top of the cookies like what’s show above and decorate with the dried fruit you choose.
Bake on 350’ F for about 15-20 mins till bottoms of cookies are golden brown. 15 was perfect for my oven.
Enjoy! Leave out as offerings or drink with a hot glass of pumpkin tea or cider!!
Happy Halloween!!! 👻🍁🍂🍃🍫🍬🍭🎃
Any spells for making a long-distance romantic relationship stronger? All the ones I can find seem to be for close-distance lovers :c
Before doing any spells, I suggest that you keep doing every day things in order to make your relationship stronger. Do what you can to talk regularly, schedule Skype dates where you can talk or watch movies online together. Maybe play some online games together, if that’s what you’re in to.
These were all found on my blog. Please be sure that you are thoroughly searching my blog and tagging system before asking for any spells or resources.

We’ve all had those days when we’re so sick we don’t want to do much. Between fits of rather painful coughing, sniffling, achiness, and difficulty breathing, I knew that I needed a good strong tea to help kick this flu in the rear. And that’s how I came to create my “Feel Good” blend - a nice, strong tea that makes you feel calm and relaxed before promptly knocking you out for a good nap.
Ingredients: -1 tbsp peppermint tea -1 tsp chamomile -1.5 tsp rosemary -1 tsp lavender -Honey (raw recommended) -pinch ground cinnamon -Boiling Water
Combine all of your herbs in a sachet and steep in the water for anywhere between 3 and 10 minutes for a strong tea. Add honey to taste and sprinkle a little cinnamon on top. Enjoy!
Witchy Notes: Peppermint is great for pain relief from coughing due to the menthol, chamomile helps to relax and encourages sleep. Rosemary is a great cough suppressant and also helps to ease aches and pain. Lavender helps to induce calm, allowing you to breathe easier. Honey and cinnamon both have antibacterial properties and are excellent health ingredients. Enchant your ingredients ahead of time as you see fit, so that your tea will have a bit of magic all to its own!
I forgot some info so I had to reupload this. Tell everyone about the charity livestream, yell on top of rooftops! Make billboards, pay some sky writers! Pretty much spread the word as crazy as people did for Pewdiepie!

@goth-creepy13 I wonder this as well my brother
I'm starting to notice that a great amount of "goth" blogs turn out to be Satanic blood covered kinky porn who listen to Soundcloud rappers😒. my thoughts: Wtf!? where the hell are my brethren who are real Goth and want to talk about horror movies and books,share and describe Post-Punk/Goth rock/Darkwave/Deathrock albums,complement makeup and discuss clothing while our excitement of Halloween builds over the aroma of teas and literature
Well my mom sent me this and I love it! And its true for me
Don't miss me when I'm dead.
Miss me when I'm not with you
Don't bring me flowers when I'm dead
Bring me flowers when I'm alive
It's strange how a few short seconds can lead you in a whole new direction,
It alters how you think and act and see your own reflection.
From a single moment on, my life was forever changed,
Like everything I previously knew had suddenly been rearranged.
No one will ever understand just how I felt that day,
But deep within this poem I shall try to convey.
I cannot even begin to illustrate the repulsive person I once knew.
I intend to simply express the horror that I went through.
I was abruptly pinned against the wall of a hard, rough concrete bathroom
Small blade across my cheek, how can i explain i couldnt move i couldnt scream. Fear takes over your body as threats are whispered in your ear.
"just come with me and the end will be near"
Suddenly I was captured, no possible way to escape.
Wondering if I deserved it, if it was truly my fate.
I tried to fly away, but my wings he had been broke.
I was like an innocent cow that he used to prod and poke.
My mind filled with confusion, and his filled with lust.
He took another part of me with each and every thrust.
Tears like elegant pearls gracefully danced down my face.
I peered into his soul with a firm look of disgrace.
His cold touch like a vacuum, sucking out the life in me.
His ears were wide open, but he wouldn't hear my plea.
Standing there in the night, so scared, so exposed.
I was covered by a veil of darkness, like satin petals of a rose.
The glowing moon looked down at me, peaking through a massive blanket of stars.
I could touch it; it seemed so close, but it was really oh so far.
Worse than at the doctor; he injected me with filth and dirt.
His intention was deliberate; it was very clear and overt.
It is a bit funny that a piece of scum is all he'll ever be,
And the only thing that he accomplished doing in life is me.
Sometimes late at night I simply can't fall sleep
Thinking about how my innocence is no longer mine to keep.
What some can only imagine in their worst possible nightmare
Is my gruesome reality that can't be undone nor repaired.
I may have the sweetest smile, glowing between my nose and chin,
But only I know the truth about the deep secrets held within.
I may have the prettiest eyes that have seen more than they should
And have cried more delicate tears than anyone else ever could.
I may have the kindest heart, but that came with a cost.
It has felt the worst of pains and experienced the greatest loss.
I cannot change the past, an event to which I succumbed.
But I can focus on the present and change what is to come.
We are all so different and yet so much the same.
Everyone, in some way or another, will experience a kind of pain.
Everybody has things they wish not to recall,
Into each life some rain must fall.
Scattered throughout our lives, like a friend that is one of a kind,
Dreary days will steadily approach, bad memories trailing behind.
These dark days are necessary, just as important as the rest,
For if we didn't have the worst, we couldn't recognize the best.

Now here i am holding on to my new fav shirt,
which has your Cologne
its as if your here though i know your slipping away.
yes i can call for help
yes i can find a way to runaway
but when someone can hurt you in a matter of seconds
what will happen if help takes too long
what happens when your feet cant keep up with the violent pounding of your heart
there will always be blank spaces in this story and those spaces are filled with fear
fear can consume you more than you could ever know.

its funny how you can sit and write a poem
while the other person watches you
not understanding a word thats being written
language barriers come in handy sometimes..

i probably lost you though i have never given up
time is the only enemy
i still love you since we said hello
its wierd how i never agreed with the phrase: if you love him let him go.... if he returns you were always ment to be...
i cry too much,i dont want to let him go... but i cant keep causing him pain.
im being too selfish for loving him..
