A Few Weeks Ago, My Mother And I Went To A Flea Market And Noticed A Man Selling Different Herbal Products.

I think my mom went a little overboard...still not festive as enough and we’re still not done

🌄Sunrise Witchcraft🌄

☀️sunrise is the best time for: healing, positivity, happiness, anti-anxiety/depression, spirituality, self care/love, air magic, cleansing, soft energy/ positive energy amplifier, truth spells, protection, and peace

☀️sunrise associations: citrine, lemon, peaches, ginger, orange, morning dew, orange calcite, coffee, bergamot, lime, earl grey, mint, sage, cinnamon, grapefruit, morning glory, marigold, saffron, calendula, daylily, daisy, black tea, and frankincense

☀️tips and things to try:

🌞yoga (especially sun salutations!)

🌻sunbathe in the sunrise to cleanse and charge with positive energy

🌞if you can’t wake up before/during sunrise, just leave your window blinds open to help you wake up naturally and/or to charge in the sunlight while you’re sleeping

🌻this is a great time for tea and coffee magic

🌞this is a great time to charge stones, especially sun-sensitive stones. (Here’s a post on solar stones)

🌻listen to and charge with soft or acoustic music

🌞 spend some time outside, take some deep breaths of fresh air, enjoy the birds chirping, flowers, dew, fog, and the beautiful colors in the sky that sunrise brings

🌻charge some lemon juice in the sunrise for extra boost of cleansing, positivity, and happiness properties (to make it stronger you can infuse it with mint or grapefruit, which both have similar properties and correspond with sunrise)

🌞if you’re comfortable with it, leave an offering out for sunrise deities and dawn sprites & other sun fae

Perfect Bread:

I absolutely love this recipe! The bread is soft, and is perfect for sandwiches, French toast, and pretty much everything you can think of. I don’t want to buy bread from the store ever again!

6 Cups all-purpose flour

2 ½ Cups very warm water

2 Tbsp. Active dry yeast

2 Tbsp. Sugar

1 tsp. Salt

1 Tbsp. Butter

Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar and let sit until the surface is foamy (If it’s doesn’t foam, the yeast doesn’t work).

When yeast is activated, add 3 cups of the flour, the salt, and the butter. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes.

Once mixture is smooth, add the remaining 3 cups of flour. I recommend folding the flour in until fairly combined before kneading.

Once combined, knead dough for 6-8 minutes in a stand mixer, or 8-10 minutes by hand.

Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap or a cloth, and let rise for 45 minutes.

Cut dough into 2-3 equal pieces and place into a buttered bread pan, and brush melted butter (or olive oil). Allow to rise in the loaf pans for an additional 10-15 minutes. (🍞 Tip: Use a small knife to make a slit longways across the bread to prevent splitting along the side of the bread.)

Bake bread in a 375°F oven for 30 minutes uncovered, and and additional 10 minutes covered in foil to prevent excess browning.

Makes 2-3 loaves of bread.

How to Make Your Own Herbal Smoking Blend

* Smoking mixtures are largely a matter of personal tastes and preferences – experiment with different herb combinations to see what suits you best – but here are the basics to get you started.

1. Harvest fresh, young leaves, ideally in the morning after the dew has evaporated.

2. Dry the leaves slowly indoors – try hanging them in bundles from the ceiling or spreading them out on a window screen(Don’t dry them fast in an oven, as you want the leaves to retain a bit of moisture for a smoother smoke.)

3. Once dry, crush the leaves by hand into an even consistency.

4. Combine according to the guidelines below:

~General Guidelines~

* Marijuana is the ideal “base” for smoking blends in my humble opinion. It should form about 50 percent of the mixture.

* Then add several other herbs for the “body” of the blend. Mugwort and skullcap create a headier smoke, while uva-ursi gives it more of a tobacco-like quality. Add a bit of coltsfoot if you’re lungs are irritated from frequent tobacco use. Combined, these herbs should constitute about 40 percent of the blend.

* Use flavoring herbs, like mints and sages, for the final 10 percent of the blend.

* If the blend is too harsh when you smoke it, trying spritzing the dried herbs with a spray bottle to reintroduce moisture.

* Store smoking blends in glass jars or resealable plastic pouches.

✨Please research each herb before you smoke it, because there are side effects to each of them especially if you're on other medications.✨

Myanmar military declares one-year state of emergency

YANGON

Myanmar’s military declared a one-year state of emergency on Monday and appointed a general as acting president, after arresting civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior officials.

An announcement on military-owned Myawaddy TV said the move was needed to preserve the “stability” of the state, accusing the country’s election commission of failing to address “huge irregularities” in the November election.
