☀️Beltane honey-lemon vanilla madeleines ☀️

These are perfect for tea (I recommend making sun tea) or a small treat, and great as small gifts for others.

You'll need:

3 eggs

½ cup plus 3 tablespoons caster sugar (superfine sugar)

1 cup plain flour (all-purpose flour)

pinch of fine salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

zest of 1 lemon

1 tsp of vanilla extract (empowering and good fortune)

1 tsp of lemon extract (cleansing and purification)

1 tablespoon of natural honey (to bring sweet people into your lives, and prosperity)

150 g (1 ⅓ stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

butter and flour (or non-stick baking spray) to grease the madeleine mold

A madeleine mold/pan

How to make:

In a large bowl, or the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is thick and pale yellow. This step should take 1-2 minutes using an electric stand-mixer, or a bit longer if you are whisking by hand. Remember your intentions when stirring counter clockwise and clockwise!

Add the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined.

Next add the lemon zest, extracts, and melted butter.

Continue whisking until you have a thick and smooth batter.

Leave the batter to rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350

Generously grease the madeleine mould with butter, even if it is non-stick. Another option is to use a non-stick baking spray.

Fill each madeleine mould until about 3/4 full, either with a spoon or with a piping bag filled with the batter.

Bake until the madeleine cakes have risen and are lightly golden on top. For large madeleine moulds similar to that pictured, this should take about 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven.

Remove the madeleine pan from the oven, and wait a few minutes before carefully removing the cakes from the moulds.

Leave the cakes to cool on a wire rack (the ridge-side facing down), and serve them warm or cold.

stop romanticizing stepping in mushroom circles!!!

i don’t know how many of you believe in fae or if you’re just talking about it for the aesthetic, but disrupting these fairy rings disturbs the fae and is very disrespectful. they can and will bring you bad luck. the best thing is to leave little offerings for them!

remember to respect all nature. <3🍄✨

[daisydragonwitch]

You can observe and flatter, leave offerings if you can or desire to, but do not enter or disturb them! Give them the respect and consideration and they will in turn.

Sweet Cream Buns

This recipe was given to me by a friend awhile ago, and I feel it needs a little more appreciation. They’re super easy to make and are tasty too!

I feel one thing a kitchen witch has to master is their ability to make all sorts of bread. It’s such a staple, and is so versatile. Not to mention how much of a crowd pleaser it is.

This recipe is a tasty bun, that when bitten into, oozes vanilla custard. Whenever I make these, they are gone in the first ten minutes. I tweaked this recipe from one of my good friends who enlightened me on this yummy recipe. I highly recommend you to try these for yourself!

Now in this recipe I will be showing you three fillings that I’m sure you will love!

- Vanilla Custard

- Chocolate coffee cream

- Brown sugar maple custard

Ingredients

For the Dough

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup bread flour

1 cup cake flour

A sprinkle of sea salt

1/3 cup sugar

1 packet of dry yeast

½ cup warm almond milk (Or any type of milk)

2 tbsp heavy cream

1 egg

3 tbsp butter

For the Vanilla Custard

5 tbsp sugar

2 ½ tbsp flour

3 egg yolks

1 cup whole milk

1 Tablespoon butter

Vanilla Bean

Vanilla Extract 

For the Chocolate Coffee Cream

6 tbsp sugar

3 tbsp flour

3 egg yolks

½ cup whole milk

1 Tablespoon butter

¼ cup expresso/ brewed coffee

Milk chocolate/ dark chocolate/ Semi-sweet chocolate (Its up to you)

For the Maple Syrup Custard

5 tbsp brown sugar

3 tbsp maple syrup

2 ½ tbsp flour

3 egg yolks

1 cup whole milk

1 Tablespoon butter

Directions

To prepare: Set your butter and eggs out 10 minutes before you start so they enough time to come to room temperature. 

Start by filling a measuring cup with your milk and heat in your microwave for about 20 seconds, or until when you stick a (clean) finger in, it is just warm. If it is too hot, it will kill your yeast mixture. Add your dry yeast in and stir. Let it sit for 10 minutes to bloom.

Next, in a kitchen aid (If you have one) attach the dough hook and mix your flour, salt and sugar together. Now crack an egg into the yeast mixture and add it to the kitchen aid bowl on low speed. Add in warmed cream. Let the dough hook do its magic on medium low speed until the dough is very smooth and elastic.

Add in your butter 1 tablespoon at a time and let it mix until completely smooth. About 4-5 minutes.

Oil a bowl with some neutral oil, or with some butter and place the kneaded dough ball into the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in oven with the light on, or in a warm area.

Leave it to rise for 2 hours, or until doubled in size. 

Ok, so now poke your dough and let the gas leak out from the dough. Cut it into equal sized pieces and place cling wrap on it and let it rise for another 15 minutes or more.

In the 15 minutes, now is the time to make your custard cream. On high heat, add your milk and butter and let it come to a boil. Then turn down your heat and whisk in sugar, egg, and flour. Add in your additives (Vanilla, maple syrup. etc.) and mix on low heat until it has reached a thick pudding like consistency. About 6-12 minutes. If you are doing chocolate, here is the time to melt your chocolate in, when it is off the heat. Let it cool completely.

With a rolling pin roll out the pieces of dough and place a dollop of custard in the center. Fold them over and press/pinch the sides together. Repeat the process until all of them are like this.

Place them on a tray and wrap cling wrap over them. Let them proof for about an hour, or until they’ve doubled in size again.

Now with a nonstick pan on medium low heat, place the bun in the pan and cover with lid. Cook each side for about 5 minutes, or until it is a nice golden brown. You can also cook this in an oven. 400 F for 8-15 minutes.

Now your done! Enjoy this hot and cold, they are tasty either way. It will be a little crispy when hot and soft when cold. 

I hope you enjoy this recipe!

rice water toner🌾

I’ve been meaning to share this recipe not only for its magical properties, but  because it’s honestly changed my skin in ways no store-bought toner has

rice is associated with mother-type deities and feminine energy. it can be used in spells for protection, wealth and blessings. when applied to the skin as rice water, it has anti-inflammatory and brightening properties

keep it in the fridge and apply with a cotton pad after the shower, it feels so so good. on lazy days i’ll just use this as my face cleanser, but keep in mind I have fairly normal skin🌜

Materials

·      organic white/jasmine/basmati rice·      bowl·      water·      container

Steps

·      add a handful of rice to the bowl and rinse it first, disposing of the water

·      add your desired amount of water to the bowl and set aside

·      let it soak for 1-3 hours and bottle the water in a separate container, then refrigerate (the rice can still be used for cooking)

·      optional add-ins: rose petals, lavender, calendula flowers 🥀

disclaimer: patch test and research for allergies

Herbs you can grow indoors.

Made this list for my fellow witchies who like their kitchen to be full of the green stuff :

Basil : like lots of sun and warmth. More difficult to grow in the winter months

Bay : needs plenty of sun and fresh air.

Chives : needs at least 6 hours of sun and plenty of water.

Dill : prefers slightly acidic soil, needs plenty of sunlight, doesn’t need too much water.

Lemongrass : My personal favorite as you don’t plant it in soil. Grow in a couple of inches of water. Easiest to grow.

Mint : needs plenty of water and needs to be placed in an area with indirect light. Harvest frequently.

Oregano : does not deal well with cold and drastic temperature changes could kill it.

Parsley : Doesn’t require too much light or maintenance, but is a slow grower.

Rosemary : needs 6 - 8 hours of strong, direct sunlight. Only water when the top layer of soil feels dry. Needs good ventilation. A bit trickier to grow.

Sage : Needs plenty of sun. 

Thyme : Needs 6 - 8 hours of sunlight a day and maybe even supplemental light.

Attention friends who keep killing their plants!

I found a really good book that I think will help!

It’s really easy to follow and has a wide variety of plants:

You can basically find the plant listed that looks most like the plant you have, and go to the page listed under it. And it’ll say how to care for it!

Here’s an example ^ not only does it say what lighting and watering it needs like most books, but it also lists the different things that can go wrong with this plant and which make us think it’s dying. Like wilting being too much water, edges crisping being not enough misting, what sunburn on this plant looks like, etc.

A common mistake people make that kills plants is too much water or not enough water, it can be tricky until you get used to your plant’s needs! This explains watering techniques really well.

And a bunch of other stuff it shows you, like buying the best plant for your environment, repotting them, feeding them, all sorts of things!

It’s definitely a new favorite 😌

All of my recent spell works. Looooots of jar spells, one hearth spell, and a tonic. And Charms.... Oh loooordie the charms. This isn’t everything I’ve done, but these are the ones I took pictures of.

[daisydragonwitch]

*DISCLAIMER: I did not go to school for this, I simply really love crystals and stones and have done some decent research into them. However, I do not know everything there is to know, and I’m sure there is much more to learn. Please do your own research before working with stones and crystals prior to use, and if there is anything I missed that you know, please feel free to DM me! I would love to learn more about what I own and may even in the future will own* Name: Asterite Serpentine / Serpentine

Chemical Formula: Mg6[(OH)8lSi4O10]; Basic magnesium silicate Crystal Structure: Monoclinic; microcrystalline Color: Green, yellowish, brown Hardness: 2.5 to 5.5 Refractive Index: 1.560 to 1.571 Density: 2.44 to 2.62 Cleavage: None Transparency: Semitransparent to opaque Double Refraction / Birefringence: 0.008 to 0.014 Luster: Greasy, waxy, silky Fluorescence: Weak; greenish (Williamsite)

Rock Info: Serpentine is a stone made up of a number of different minerals in order to make a certain formula (  (X)2-3(Y)2O5(OH)4 ), with X being a metal, magnesium, iron, nickle, alluminum, zinc, or maganese. Y will be sillicon, alluminum, or iron. Chrysotile, antigorite, and lizardite are the three main mineral properties of Serpentine, but there are many more to be found. Serpentine is also a source for Asbestos.

Metaphysical Properties:  This stone is an exceptional meditation stone, helping to bring about inner peace and clarity within ones self. Serpentine is also good as dispelling evil and darkness from ones person and protecting that person from negativity, and the better Serpantine stones for this will be the darker colored ones. However, no matter the Serpentine color or shade, all Serpentine will bring you so much inner peace and clarity that negativity will have a hard time being able to get to you.

Physical Healing: This is a stone good for assisting in the regeneration of cellular health and in replenishing energy. The heart and lungs in another place this stone is known for helping with, especially in keeping them strong and healthy. It can also help those with diabetes, and with parasites. Magnesium and calcium absorbtion is also easier with this and other Serpentine Stones. its also good for mestration if that happens to be something you have more issues with as well.

Water Safety: Because of the likelyhood of your Serpentine having some formation of metal (magnesium, iron, nickle, alluminum, zinc, or manganese) as well as Asbestos, I would avoid water for the most part, especially when it comes to stone elixers.

How to Cleanse:  Because of the properties ofthe minerals and rock substance, I woudl avoid water. I, personally, would go for the moonlight approach. Plant heat lamps would do a quicker, powerful job at well.

Serpentine I Have: Asterite Serpentine (Darker green stone with the beautiful crackling and dapples of either dark green or brown and hints of greenish yellow) / Serpentine (the semi-transparent pale green stone with a darker greenish brown bottom. *Please note that crystals and stones are not the end all be all to physical ailments, please visit your doctor and get treatment if you’re sick. Stones are just meant to help and assist in the healing process.

LUCK SPELL

Ingredients:*

1. Water

2. Ground Ginger

3. Ground Cinnamon

4. Ground Cloves

5. Poppy Seeds

6. Green Glitter

7. Beeswax Candle

Instructions:

Fill your jar with water. Pour in the herbs in whatever order you like, add as much as you feel is necessary. Add the glitter. Mentally recite your intent: "I imbue you with luck, prosperity, and good fortune."

Breathe into the jar. This seals your intent. Plug the jar and shake it up. Seal the jar with a beeswax candle (I got mine at a local organic market, but it shouldn't be hard to find online). Run the jar through the smoke of the blown-out candle to complete the spell.

Tip: Put this spell together on a recyclable paper plate or paper towel for easy clean up!

*If you have allergies to any of the following ingredients, look into other luck-corrosponding substitutions! Your safety is more important than anything!
