creepy + ghostly mushrooms
got a couple of requests for the codes for the picnic blanket so here it is!
if you want to make your own in a different colour you can follow the pixel art i’ve added the pixel art to show what i did:
1- make the middle panel first, as shown. the tile should be 4 squares x 4 squares, each square is 8 pixels x 8 pixels. i used two shades for each square (so 4 brown colours overall) to give it a woven look. you can make a simple plaid / checked pattern by using the line tool and ‘weaving’ the lines over and under each other randomly. you can make the pattern as simple or as complicated as you want!
2- copy it over to 2 new slots (this will ensure that the squares / pattern will look seamless on the side pieces!)
3- use the transparent pen tool to make the frills for each side. you can make them as big or as small as you like!
you can also just use a middle panel if you want a simpler blanket or don’t have many custom design slots 😅

Beltane Recipes with Correspondences and Vegan Alternatives
Honey Oat Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (almond or soy for vegan or dairy free)
- 2 tbsps unstated butter or margarine
- ¼ cup honey (agave for vegan)
- ¼ cup water, lukewarm
- 2 ¼ tsps instant yeast
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup oats (instant or old fashioned)
- 1 ½ tsp salt
For topping:
- 1 ½ - 2 tbsps honey, warmed (agave for vegan)
- 1 ½ -2 tbsps oats
Directions:
- In a small bowl heat the milk so that it is warm enough to melt the butter, but not boiling. Add the butter, stirring until melted, then stir in the water and honey.
- Stir the yeast into the mixture and let sit for 15 minutes until bubbly.
- In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the flour, oats, and salt.
- Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture, mixing with a dough hook or spoon until it just comes together to form a dough. Knead in the mixer or by hand for 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Cover the bowl with a clean dry towel and allow to rise until doubled, about ½ to 1 hour.
- Once doubled, with your fingers, flatten the dough into a 9 by 12-inch rectangle. Tightly roll the dough, tucking the ends as needed, into a loaf. Place the shaped dough into a lightly greased 9×5-inch loaf pan, cover with a clean dry towl, and allow to rise until doubled, about ½ to 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (180 C). Place an empty loaf pan on the bottom rack of the oven and bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
- When the loaf is doubled again, brush the top with the warmed honey and sprinkle with the oats.
- Place the bread in the oven and pour the boiling water into the empty loaf pan on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the bread is deep golden brown and the internal temperature is about 190 degrees.
- Transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before serving.
Magickal Correspondences:
- Bread ~ (in general) kinship, sustenance
- Oat ~ grounding, prosperity
- Butter ~ smoothing relationships, spirituality, tenacity
- Milk ~ Goddess energy, love, nurturing, spirituality
- Water ~ purification
- Flour ~ revealing hidden matters, consistency
- Honey ~ happiness, healing, love, lust, purification, spirituality, sweet things in life, weight loss, wisdom
- Salt ~ cleansing & purification, grounding, protection
- Yeast~Â grounding, purification
Lemon Chamomile Whipped Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 cups salted butter or margarine, very soft
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tsps lemon zest
- 3 tsps loose chamomile tea
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lighty grease three baking sheets.
- Using a hand-held electric beater, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla until very creamy.
- Gradually beat in the cornstarch and flour.
- Beat in the lemon zest and chamomile. Continue to beat the batter for a full 10 minutes until it looks like slightly overbeaten whipped cream (see notes).
- Drop the batter by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake the cookies for approximately 15-20 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven just as they start to brown on the bottoms.
- Let the shortbread cookies cool on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Do be careful when moving them as they will fall apart if you transfer them too soon.
Notes:
- If you use a stand-mixer instead of a hand held electric beater, the cookies will fall flat. If you want to use your stand mixer, please make sure to reduce the time you mix the batter.
Magickal Correspondences:
- Cookies ~ (in general) nurturing, love
- Lemon ~ faithfulness, friendship, happiness, longevity, love, marriage
- Butter ~ smoothing relationships, spirituality, tenacity
- Vanilla ~Â joy, love, luck, lust, mental powers
- Chamomile ~ the sun, purification, protection, calming, luck
- Flour ~ revealing hidden matters, consistency

Hey guys! It’s been a long time but I’m working on some posts for later. I’m probably am going to work on a reversed version of the cards for next time. Thanks for reading!- Samantha
I have stretch marks.
Reblog if you do too. Just to prove that it is more normal than what people actually think.
Witchy Items for Your Altar
I share a very small room with my sister, and obviously don’t have much room for an altar. I use most of my space for my Hellenic shrines and altar. I keep my witchy stuff on my shared bedside table. Here is what I use, and how I store/display it. This is element based, but you can use it however you like. Â
North (Earth)
Small Himalayan Rock Salt Lamp - This is a tool I use all the time. It detoxifies my room, and cleanses the space. I feel so much more at ease with it on, like it’s washing everything away!
Crystals - You might want to move these or switch them out depending on what spell you’re doing, as all energy contributes to the working, but while you’re in your room, or even while you’re away, you can leave these here to represent Earth.Â
Salt - Little packets of salt work, or you can place a bowl with some salt in it on your altar. I use my rock salt lamp.Â
Dirt - A literal baby jar of dirt works, or you can put a plant on your altar if it’s by a window. I have a succulent!
Earth Imagery - A mini globe would be pretty cool! Or even a little eraser or what not. Having an actual picture of the Earth would be amazing, especially if the clouds were visible, and maybe if it had the sun in the background. Then it could be all encompassing of the elements.
Herbs, Flowers, Plants, etc - Â As with the crystals, you may want to change these out or put them away during spells, or switch them out. However, they would look really cool as you went with the seasons!
 Fossils - I think fossils are awesome Earth representations. They have been in the ground for a very long time! I used to have some really cool fossils I used to represent Earth on my altar.
Tree Slice - Have you ever seen those little wooden slices that come from a tree stump? The ones that definitely had huge roots? Those would be perfect to represent Earth!Â
South (Fire)
Birthday Candles/Tea Lights - You can colour code! These are great for short workings, or even to call the elements. To make these stand up, place them in a bit of clay and let it harden.Â
Matches - Â Double whammy here- Â light your candles and have a representation!
Ash - I used to have volcanic ash, which was perfect. It got spilled, but for the while that I had it, it was awesome. Collect ash from incense, a fire, etc, and use it (just wait for it to cool!!!)
Charcoal - I always thought charcoal looked kinda witchy. I think a dish of it would make a good rep.
 Charred Wood - If you have a bonfire, or just so happen to light a piece of wood on fire, you could let it cool and use it for your altar.Â
Lamp - If you have a secret altar, a little lamp could be an inconspicuous representation for fire, as it does produce light and heat.Â
Lantern - You can buy super cute mini lanterns at the Dollar Store. I love them, but haven’t gotten one yet. I think they would be fun to use for Fire. Â
West (Water)Â
Glass of Water - You can use whatever type of water you’d like; moon water, rose water, purified water, gem elixir; take your pick!  Just make sure it doesn’t get moldy and stay moldy. Change it out each day/week.Â
Sea Shells - You can get these in super small sizes! Or, you can get them big and bulky.Â
Sea Glass - These little stone-like fragments are so pretty! They look just like crystals, and can be found on the beach or in the store!
Sea Salt - Â Sea Salt could work to represent Water, especially if you pour it into a seashell or add in sea glass to it. It could be like a little potpourri of water related objects!
Rain Cloud - You can create clouds out of things like stuffing for toys, cotton balls, and sometimes led lights. It could be a fun project, or you can buy one of them off of etsy. Â
Mermaid Image - I have a mermaid book mark made of metal, and it sits with my other water-related objects. I feel like it adds that feel of majesty to my water representation.Â
Drift Wood - This is so pretty! The pieces are smooth, have a fun shape, and definitely capture the essence of water!
Sand - If you go to a beach, collect some sand, and place it somewhere on your altar! Be sure to put it in a bowl, though, because it is hard to clean up.Â
Sea Weed - You can hang this somewhere, or put it directly on your altar. Either way, it looks great.
Coral - If you find some coral, you can place it on your altar. It looks so neat!
Starfishes/Sand Dollars/etc. - These are a little harder to find on the beach, but if you do, place them on your altar.Â
East (Air)
Wind Chimes - These add a little decoration to your altar, as well as give you an air representaiton. You can even listen for the tinkling of bells to see if any fae are around!
Bells - If you ring a bell, it disperses stagnant energy, and helps to cleanse a space. Having one on your altar is a great way to keep it fresh!
Feathers - This is a pretty obvious one, an oldie but a goodie. If you have some feathers, you can use them, but make sure there are no laws against collecting them in your area. Alternatively, you can use fake ones from a craft store.Â
Empty Glass or Bottle - Air is all around us. Use that to your advantage!Â
Dandelion Puff - This is what I immediately think of when I picture the wind. You can collect some puffs and put them in a glass.Â
Bird’s Nest (fake) - You can buy or make a fake bird’s nest. They look pretty real, and have this awesome rustic naturey vibe to them!
Leaves - They were once high in the sky! Collect them during the fal season or after a storm.Â
Incense - Another well-known one. You can burn this and use the smoke.Â
Tornado Making Jar - You know those little jars that you can shake up, and they make a tornado? Those would be a fun water-air duo!
Other:Â
Small Jewelry Box - This can store crystals, herbs, essential oils, etc. I use to use mine to cleanse my crystals becuase it played music!
Multi Colour Light-Up Candle - I found mine at Five Below! It lights up in tons of different colours, but is pretty large. However, it takes up a lot less room than a bunch of different coloured candles.
Your Wand - Having your wand on your altar makes it a sacred, special tool. It will be charged by the witchy items you have there, and will feel natural inn the environment.Â
A Mini Besom or Real Besom (Broom) - I use a paintbrush as a mini besom, as I can’t have real one. However, it would be nice if I did, and I’d keep it near my altar!
Your Grimoire/Spellbook/BOS/etc - If you aren’t hiding it, you could keep it on your altar!Â
A Â Fire-Safe Dish or Cauldron - If you water scry, burn things, or just like to include your cauldron in your spells, you can keep it on your altar.Â
Incense Tray - Incense can’t be burned without somewhere to place it. Keep your incense holder handy!
Altar Cloth - This ties everything together! It can be switched out for sabbats/festivals/seasons/spells.Â
Chalice - I’m not Wiccan, but I use the chalice in my workings every once in a while, usually for water-related magic. You can get these beautiful metal ones at antique stores, or regular old wine glasses at the dollar store!
Mortar and Pestle - For practical use and an awesome vibe! You can keep this near your herbs.
Coloured/Enchanted Salts - They display beautifully,and are really good to have on hand. Â
Spirit Vessels - These can go in their own little corner if you like. They could also be the center of your altar, especially if you work mainly with spirits. Â
Tarot/Other Cartomancy Cards - Find a nook for your cards to be kept safe and clean. They will be charged by the other objects all around it, which makes it an awesome idea to have on your altar.Â
Scrying Mirror - Make this the main attraction, or perhaps just a piece of the puzzle. If you have an ornate mirror, it could be a very drawing part of your altar!Â
Crystal Ball - Like the scrying mirror, it could be a background piece or the focal point.Â
Runes - If you cast runes, you can keep your bag or box of them on or near your altar.Â
Other Divination Tools - You cans store these, or just la them throughout your altar. Whatever you choose, having your tools close by will be awesome!Â
Twig Shapes - You can make sigils out of twigs and hot glue! Add a ribbon or piece of twin in the shape of a loop, and you can hang them above your altar as decoration and as a little energy booster!
Circle (Embroidery Hoop) - I know most people use salt to cast circles, but I actually use an embroidery hoop. I cast one around myself, and one around the items I am working with (ex: what’s in the hoop).
Knife - If you use a ritual or practical knife in your workings, it’s good to have on hand. I can’t have one, but I like my wand better anyway, personally.Â
Fae Garden - You’ll have to have plenty of sunlight near your altar for this one, but it will definitely be fun to have some Fae living on your altar!
Spell Supplies - Random bits and bobs, like egshells and ribbons, can be kept on your altar as well.Â
When life gives you too many frogs…
