i felt a need to illustrate it

I suddenly feel a great wave of shame for ever being a fan of anything at any point in time

@young/new witches: don't get caught up in the what type of witch bs that people are obsessed with. Witches don't get sorted into little schools or houses and that's it. All this "green witch, sea witch, etc" is extremely limiting and lacks any imagination. Witches from lots of cultures do all kinds of magic. Nobody just does plant magic or whatever bc that doesn't make any sense.

Really the only labels that describe your craft are religious/ cultural names (Hellenic, folk magic, hoodoo ) bc witchcraft incorporates so much of everything that trying to label it by elements and such just doesn't cut it.

Basil Lime Sugar Cookies

This is another recipe for kitchen magic. Basil is super helpful with just about anything- protection, health, joy etc. Mixed with lime I would say these cookies are good for a pick me up and can be charged to be a mood booster.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of butter (softened)

1 1/2 tsp lime juice (to taste tbh)

1 1/4 cup of granulated sugar

1 3/4 cup of all purpose flour

1 egg

3/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp vanilla extract

Fresh finely chopped basil (I used like 10 leaves)

1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F

Beat together butter and sugar until combined

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt

To the butter/sugar mixture add egg, lime juice, vanilla extract, basil and salt. Mix

Slowly add dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until combined. Dough should not be sticky to the touch

Line cookie sheets with parchment paper

My cookies did not spread out too much so you can place them relatively close on the tray. Just roll into a ball and place them wherever (May differ for yours so calculate your own risks)

Bake for 15-17 minutes until slight golden color at the bottoms. The cookie itself should stay pretty light so look for cracks along the top.

Let cookies rest on baking tray for two minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Additional Notes:

With any kind of kitchen magic it is what you make it. I charged all of my ingredients before baking and while mixing thought of the intentions I wanted behind them. They were quite literally made with love.

Merry Yuletide Loves!

I would be sarcastic about being called awake at 4:30 in the morning to spell work and swing a rock around but I think I’ve finally (and truly) connected with a deity to work with after several months of looking. ✨

Any suggestions or questions please pm me I’m always looking for new ideas and people to talk to! 🌎

Blessed be ~
