As I Look At Beautiful Hills And Valleys And Sightseeing Towns Worthy Of Cottagecore Delight, I Realize

My sister bought these cute gentilly cupcakes for my mom’s birthday and they were delicious. I need to find the recipe so I can make them at home

A few simple recipes for the summer solstice!

You can just follow the directions below or work with each ingredient carefully with magic intention to really boost the energies.

Give Me Money! Sun Tea

Ingredients

Sun tea for promoting financial wealth and abundance.

Mint ice cubes (optional, freeze whole mint leaves into ice)

1 part Mint

1 part Chamomile 

½ part Basil

Place your herbs in a jar and then steep in the sun. Add sweetener if desired and strain when you are ready to enjoy! Garnish with lemon.

Magic Psychic Sun Tea

Steep some dandelion and lemongrass for some psychic energy!

Ingredients:

1 part Lemongrass

1 part Dandelion flowers 

Pineapple juice

Follow the same basic steps for making a sun tea with lemongrass and dandelion flowers. Chill the tea and then add ½ part pineapple juice and garnish with pineapple.

Yummy Sunny Smoothie

Approx 5 lemon balm tea ice cubes ( if you can’t find this, sub basil)*

1.5 cups frozen Strawberry

2 cups watermelon 

1 frozen banana (more banana =thicker smoothie)

Sweetener, if desired, I personally used 3 small packs of stevia in the raw

*Lemon balm notes:If you have a super fancy blender that will totally blend the lemon balm then you can add a few leaves in with everything else. You could also make lemon balm tea and freeze them into ice cubes for your smoothie.

Add all ingredients to blender and sweeten to taste. Enjoy! You could probably make some yummy popsicles if you mix the smoothie with some coconut milk yogurt.

Red Fire Litha Sun Tea

Hibiscus flowers (check international markets to buy local)

Cherry juice

Orange slices 

Make sun tea with hibiscus. You will know its ready when you have a beautiful deep red color! You could just drink the hibiscus plain, or follow the next steps.

Chill the hibiscus tea

Add cherry juice! Use a 2:1 ratio of hibiscus tea to cherry juice, or 2 parts hibiscus to 1 part cherry. You don’t have to follow this ratio exactly! 

Garnish with orange slices

Safety considerations: The herbs in this post (basil, lemonbalm, lemongrass,dandelion, and chamomile are all pretty safe food-grade herbs when used in small, reasonable amounts. Hibiscus is generally safe as well, but avoid it if you are on HRT or pregnant, or with high or low blood pressure. As always consult with your doctor before consuming any herbal medicines.

🍳Taste Correspondences☕

As a kitchen witch, flavor is a very important component in my practice. Certain spells aimed towards particular needs dictate what something should taste like; we know what foods we associate with what need, here I just list what tastes are therefore associated with those particular needs.

There are eight kinds of tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, savory, menthol (ingredients that cause a cooling sensation, such as mint), spicy (ingredients that cause a hot sensation, such as pepper) and dry (ingredients that cause a dry sensation in the mouth, such as certain wines). 

Anxiety Relief: Sweet, Menthol, Bitter

Banishing: Salty, Bitter, Spicy

Beauty: Sweet, Dry

Calming: Menthol

Cleansing: Sour, Bitter, Menthol, Spicy, Salty

Creativity: Sweet, Savory, Spicy, Dry

Depression: Sweet, Menthol, Dry

Healing: Sweet, Sour, Spicy, Dry

Love: Sweet, Spicy

Luck: Menthol, Savory, Spicy

🦋 HAIRCARE GLAMOURS 🦋

From the Academy of Aphrodite

Taking care of your hair is an important step of beauty magick- hair that is soft and silky and glowing with vitality is a sign of a healthy body.

When we work on our hair, there are 3 main things we pay attention to -

🦋 washing and rinses 🦋 scalp massage 🦋 brushing

✨Homemade Shampoo and Rinses are a great way to add intent into your hair routine. Wash hair as usual and rinse with infused water- bonus if it’s storm, rain or moon water.

✨If you’re struggling with damaged hair or dry scalp, an enchanted hot oil treatment can work wonders! The recipe above invokes Athena for wisdom and a clear head.

✨ After your hair is washed, burning incense next to your damp hair and letting the smoke permeate it will leave it smelling sweet. Use an incense that corresponds with the glamour you want to cast.

✨ Spraying your favorite perfume onto your hairbrush before washing is another way to subtly perfume your hair.
