WHY EATING SEASONALLY IS IMPORTANT

•save money - food is at it’s highest supply

•food is better - it is grown closer to home so less likely to rot

•support local, sustainable farmers

•more environmentally friendly

Not to be ignorant but this wouldn’t apply to all climates right? Like seasonal fruits and veggies depend on where you live don’t they?

breelandwalker

Naturally! You’re quite right, the seasonal variety and availability will certainly vary depending on where you live. I think these lists are pretty broad and cover a few different climate zones, but to be safe, you can always search for “seasonal fruits in [your area]” to be sure. :)

Also, eating local and in season is always best! A reminder that a fantastic farm can have tomatoes and beans in the middle of the winter, meanwhile, if you live in the north it’s unlikely that you’ll find citrus locally, ever. so when you can’t do local, at least do in season (organic or small farmed is even better!)

Obviously if you live in different countries where this food is expensive or not readily available this can be hard to follow. But in general (as everyone else has pointed out) eat local by going to your farmers markets OFTEN. As you go over the course of the year you’ll see what’s growing when, what’s avaliable when, etc, and go from there. And if you’re a kitchen witch (i.e. someone who puts magical intent and purpose into their food as they cook) then following the seasons is especially helpful/important—but you already knew that I’m sure! ;)

Faerie Garden

Plants which can be planted in one’s garden to attract the fae:

Bluebells - will attract faeries to dance in the garden. On Beltane Eve, a bracelet of bluebells and jingle bells will attract helpful fae folk to you.

Buttercup - brings fae compassion to humans.

Carnation - red carnations attract faeries that heal animals.

Cowslips - these flowers are loved and protected by faeries.

Daisy - a good flower for connecting with faeries, especially dryads.

Foxglove - planting foxglove is an invitation for faeries to enter your garden. Plant it near your front door to invite the fae in to your home. Wearing foxglove is a charm to attract faerie energy, put a dried sprig in a talisman to keep you surrounded by faerie light.

Gardenia - these flower faeries are very protective of children, so plant Gardenias in places where children play, so the fae will watch over them.

Heliotrope - beloved of fire elementals.

Lavender - where there is lavender there is great faerie activity.

Liliac - the scent of Lilac attracts musical faeries.

Marigold - jam made of marigolds that is eaten in the morning will help you to see faeries very soon after ingesting it. The Druids believe that Marigold water, made from the blossoms, then rubbed on the eyelids, helps one to see faeries.

Phlox – this flower attracts elves who oversee and guard the plants growth.

Snapdragon - the faeries and spirits of this flower have connections to the energies of all dragons and, therefore, bring great protection for all from deceit and curses.
