Honey Lavender Bread

submitted by @materiamystica​

½ cup Greek yoghurt ½ cup plain flour 1tsp baking powder ¼ tsp salt 1 tbsp dried lavender 1 tbsp honey 1 egg, beaten

The intent is to increase mental clarity and connection. To clear your spiritual and mental brain fog so that you can think and see more clearly again. To improve clarity of vision and connection to your heart’s desire. Lavender is employed to stimulate clarity and connection, cleansing, memory, passion, peace of mind, healing, love, passion and retention. With the honey for added sweetness and stickiness to make visions all the more sweet, and memories stick more permanently. Harvesting your own lavender can also be intended to honour Lammas, too!

1. Mix everything in a bowl and preheat the oven at 350 F. 2. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead adding more flour until it’s no longer sticky and has formed a nice stretchy bread dough. 3. Put into a floured loaf tin. 4. Brush top with egg wash. 5. Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until a golden crust has formed and a skewer comes out clean. 6. Slice and enjoy!

The Art of Shambles, by Miss Tick

A shamble: A handmade device for the focusing of magic. Like a lens, its primary uses include detecting, magnifying and projecting - in this instance - of magic.

‘Coincidence’ is an arrogant sort of a word, I’ve always thought. It takes all the glory and does none of the work.

It’s a word for when ‘fate’, ‘magic’ and, sometimes even, ‘miracle’ have been sat on the naughty step for being altogether too interesting.

The fact your mother and your father were of compatible genders, and indeed species, was an overwhelming stroke of luck. That they happened to be in the same place, on the same day and furthermore, though that it would be a jolly nice idea to knock boots to see what happened, well that depended on an astronomical array of variables. Remarkably, their mothers and their fathers managed a similar unutterably unlikely feat. As did their parents, and their before them. In fact, the chance of you existing in this place at this time is nothing short of magnificently, awe-inspiringly, jaw-droppingly improbably or, if you prefer, a bit of a ‘coincidence’.

The here and now is the pinnacle of hundreds of millions of little ‘coincidences’, of chances, all lined up in the exact fashion needed to produce this precise moment. This is where I find the power of my shambles. It is the coming together of objects which, against all probability, somehow conspired to be right here, right now, right when I needed them. The magic lies in the moment. Too often we let parts of ourselves wander off to the future, wondering what;s for dinner or allowing our memories to drag the past into the now. Building a shambles focuses the mind. It anchors you to one precise moment, and believe me, when a witch gathers all of herself in one place at one time, she can have a significant bearing on the next poor unsuspecting moment that comes along.

Of course, this is simply my way. We each make and use them differently, and a shambles in itself is not to be considered magical, but rather as a tool of magic. After all, owning a chisel doesn’t make one a sculptor, but it doesn’t half help. Shambles can be used for many things in many ways, but there are rules. The shambles must be built at the time it is to be used and from items that happen to be around you. It doesn’t hurt to have a few suitable items about your person in case of emergencies; after all, why can’t a well-stocked pocket serve as an eldritch agent of destiny on occasion? A shamble must contain an element of life; a beetle, an egg, a seed perhaps, and it must look the part (after all we are witches), but most importantly it must feel right.

@mythonetwork: get to know the members - karla → favorite mythical creature: baba yaga

In Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga is a supernatural being who appears as a deformed and/or ferocious-looking witch. Baba Yaga flies around in a mortar, wields a pestle, and dwells deep in the forest in a hut usually described as standing on chicken legs.

Baba Yaga may help or hinder those that encounter or seek her out. She sometimes plays a maternal role, and also has associations with forest wildlife. Baba Yaga commonly appears as either a donor or villain, or may be altogether ambiguous.

That’s actually called the Overview Effect- something experienced by some astronauts that makes them see that “from space, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide people become less important, and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this “pale blue dot” becomes both obvious and imperative”.

DRYP - an app that keeps your plants alive and happy

Hi Tumblr!

I know I’ve been gone for a while.

In part it’s because I’ve been working on an app!

I keep a lot of plants. I think everyone should!

- They clean your air - They give you something to name - They give you something to take care of - They teach you about care, needs, and resources - They make you look like you’re good at decorating

Here are some of mine:

But some people, because they’re overwhelmed or simply can’t figure out how to start, think that plants are out of their reach.

DRYP is for newcomers and experts.

It reminds you when to water

And it helps you fix what’s broken

If you think the world would be better with this app in it, please consider contributing to the Kickstarter!

I’ve tried to make it worth your while:

Again here’s the link to contribute:

DRYP - an app that keeps your plants alive and happy

And if you like me / if you like my idea, please signal boost!

Mermaid’s Song Tarot Spread

This is a spread that can be used in a variety of situations, so get creative! The idea for this spread was given to me by starry-eyed-cinammon-child with an idea that I also think would make a wonderful story idea. 

“What about that story idea that mermaids are the women who were drowned because the sailors thought women on a ship was bad luck?”

The Sailor - Who/what is pulling you down. The negative influence.

The Sinking - Where you are now, and what to learn or take away from the situation.

The Transformation - What you need to change.

The Tail - Who or what helps you.

The Song - Your strength, or where you can draw your strength from.

The Story - The outcome.

I saw your post about the witch network and was inspired by a mix of 'Enchanted Basket' and 'Witch's 15' for something of my own where basically I'd ask my non-witch roomie to look through my stuff and pick some out and then I have to craft a spell from whatever he picks. Probably with limits on his browsing and my crafting time. I'd want to post this over on another blogging site where I do a lot of witch stuff and figured I should ask you first if that's okay and give credit to the op and all

Yes! That’s amazing! I’d love for people to take the idea and and run with it. Let me know where you post it and I’ll gladly post a link. I’m curious to see what happens!

[upthewitchypunx]

What can we call this game? Muggle picks? Magic Challenge? Unmagical Challenge?

[sigilmain]

I really love Muggle Picks, tbh. Plays well into my pop culture magic side too XD

I’ll reblog with a link this Saturday when the post goes up, so people can go directly to it and check it out :D

[sigilmain]

https://steemit.com/witchcraft/@sigilmancy/muggle-picks-saturday-round-1

And there she is. I really loved how this worked out, and I absolutely plan to do more. Like probably one every Saturday, because it’s a fun exercise in making my own spells and stuff :)

THIS IS AMAZING!

Regarding the manifold worts of Weather-Charming

Presented above are Pearly Everlasting Anaphalis Margaritacea (top right), and Wild Peony Paeonia Mascula (bottom centre).

Many are the worts capable of assisting the witch in the task of weather-witching. These plants have long been held in high esteem for the act of charming the Genii of wind, earth, sky, and sea. Their use underlines an ongoing intimacy with the land on which the witch treads. Here are a few:

Sage, the leaves of which may be buried in sealed vessel, together with the seed of man. The whole should be watered with water from a church, above which prayers and incantations for nefarious inundations or beneficial rains shall be whispered.

Everlasting, collected on Ascension Day (May 10th), may become the chief herb of power in the weather-working witch’s arsenal. Its powdered flowers then become a powerful tool for the command of clouds, as well as for protection from lightning.

Rowan, the small twigs of which should be ceremonially bound to twigs of ash and pine pitch, creating a bundle which may be burned to summon mists or fog.

Tobacco, cured and dried, can be cast upon waters whilst invoking gods of storms, or yet again its stems burnt to empower prayers for rain.

Ferns, all of which are allied unto the Genii of storm and rain. Leaves should be ground to dust, forming the greater mass of rain-bringing incenses. Brake specifically, may summon violent storms if taken in offence, or threatened with an iron blade. Otherwise, fetishes and incenses made of the Sword-Fern Polystichum hold strong power over winds.

Paeony, the roots of which, once dried and carved may be employed as utterly menacing tempest-bringing fetishes. These idols should be anointed with rain or storm water, and prayed to for rains, storms, winds and clouds. The same can be said of all False Hellebores. The creation of such fetishes may be as simple or elaborate as you would like, with differing results. I recommend having a look at this post on Alraun by my friend @ofwoodandbone if you are to delve into this realm.
