I just wanna live in a cottage with my husband, grow an herb garden, and bake bread.

🍑 Peachy Potion ~ To Attract Love 🍑

When you need a little bit more love in your life, whether that be from a family member, a friend, or to help attract a lover (not a specific person, you do not want to bend the will of others!!!)

Ingredients:

🍑 4 peaches (love)

🍑 3 cups of quartered strawberries (love)

🍑 1 cup of nondairy milk (regular milk doesn’t mix well with orange juice in my opinion)

🍑 A splash of orange juice

🍑 1 tbs sugar (sweetness)

🍑 2 tbs honey (sweetness)

Directions:

🍑 Roughly chop the peaches after removing the pits

🍑 Cut the strawberries in quarters

🍑 Freeze the fruit for an hour OR you can add a couple cups of ice if you want the smoothie right away

🍑 Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth!

Also known as Solstice Night, or the longest night of the year, the sun’s “rebirth” was celebrated with much joy. On this night, our ancestors celebrated the rebirth of the Oak King, the Sun King, the Giver of Life that warmed the frozen Earth. From this day forward, the days would become longer.

To the witches’ Sabbath

For the CDC of this month. You can check it out on facebook: CDC

This Autumn, let something die.

A worry, a relationship, a project that has run its course. Let go of anxiety over the future. Let go of guilt.

Let go of other people’s dreams for you. Let go of the fear that happiness or success or love or joyousness somehow isn’t for you.

Let go of feeling unwanted. Go outside, can you feel how deeply your presence is craved here?

Let go of the small and burdensome things. Gifts never opened. Keys without a lock. Broken earrings, old love letters, the ephemera on your fridge.

As David Whyte writes, “Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.” This Autumn, let go of all the clothes you have outgrown.

Let go of comparison.

Let go of doubt.

Let go of the feeling that you are somehow not good enough.

Because every imperfect apple that lays soft in your hands, and every ray of low Autumn sunlight that warms you through woolens will tell you a different story, a much truer story. The story that you are more, much more, than enough. That you bless this world simply by being alive.
