Let’s Summon Autumn With Pie

source

So there was a post going around about pumpkin pie in two weeks and it being a summoning of autumn. And it got me thinking that we could do it for real. How fun would it be to have kitchen and hearth witches to be baking pumpkin pies all over the globe?

Any non-witches who want to join can simply bake a pumpkin pie and get excited for Halloween.

For those of us who practice kitchen and hearth witchery (and those who want to get into it) we can put all our intents and dreams for the coming season into the fall. And can also (if so inclined) try and work a little energy into bringing on some cooler temperatures (we’re melting here in the PNW, and there are wildfires running rampant everywhere).

Here’s my thought for dates: August 21-27 there will be a series of posts with recipes, and tips for practicing hearth/kitchen witchery. (if you’re interested in doing one of those posts, hit up my ask box with your idea!)

Then August 28 - September 6… We Bake!

Dates were chosen to coincide with the New Moon (a great time for intention setting!), and then working towards the final date on the Full Moon (see intentions manifest!)

(I couldn’t find a source for this image, please let me know if you have a proper source!)

Who wants to do this again??

It was honestly SO much fun last year. I’d love to do this again :D

Hell. Yes. What are our dates this year?

Let’s have some recipes and prep Aug 26 -31st, and then we bake on Sept 1!

only females can be witches, but magic is for everybody

100% factually wrong.

Anyone (except TERFs and Nazis) can be a witch, regardless of their gender and this TERF dog whistle bullshit is disgusting, immoral, and you should be shamed for peddling this hateful garbage.

I encourage everyone to block @juniperdyke and every TERF like her. TERFs can’t be witches. You’re not allowed.

This made me laugh so fucking hard lmfao try and stop me from doing magic dumbass

Males will never be witches 😘 die mad

@aphroditeisaterf

Soooooo a few things:

1. Hi! First off, yes; I’m a gay guy who is also a witch ❤️ Thankfully you saying I don’t exist doesn’t remove me from existence. Thank the gods for that.

2. Speaking of the gods, can ya stop using one’s name to spread hate?

3. I don’t think you’re a Hellenic Polytheist(sorry if you are I guess, but I didn’t see anything about it on your blog other than the title) but idk why anyone would think Aprodite, the literal goddess of love, would hate/exclude trans women. Like, talk to someone actually a part of the religion you’re ripping Aphrodite from. Aphroditus is a thing. Whether you follow the belief that Aphroditus is a trans version of Aphrodite or that Aphroditus is Her son, both lend themselves towards Her being accepting and loving towards trans people.

4. Also there’s no one correct interpretation of the gods? Sooooo if you really wanna be all Aphrodite loves terfs, you gotta let people have their own beliefs too. That includes understanding people are allowed to worship a trans woman Aphrodite.

4. More over, Hellenic Polytheism is super accepting of everyone on the lgbt+ spectrum. Blogs titled like yours are kinda the exact opposite. And just isn’t very cool 👍

Aaaaaaand that’s about all I care to type for now.

Ain’t nothing wrong with picking up fallen succulent leaves off the floor of the Walmart garden center, takin’ ‘em home, and growing your own plant babies. Pirate those plants. Fuck the system.

Few days ago Daisy Osakue was hit by an egg thrown from a car while she was walking down a street, in Italy. She is an afro-italian athlete and now she has to get surgery bc her eye was hitten badly. It’s highly possible (i’m sure it is tbh) that the guys who did this were looking specifically for a black woman. I’m angry af and if you have the energy to curse this racists you have all my support & help.

Meditation: Myths vs reality, and One Method!

NO MOVING!

You don’t have to stay completely still to meditate! Wiggling is often fairly essential to getting comfy, and if a position is getting uncomfortable after a while, of course you’ll want to move! Allow yourself little twitches and involuntary movements, and if you’re experiencing discomfort, of course move! Discomfort distracts from your meditation more than making a minor adjustment to get comfortable! Your goal is to be comfortable enough that you’re able to let go of your physical senses, NOT to stay still for ages!

NO THINKING!

You’re totally allowed to have thoughts! If you have a thought, you’re not “meditating wrong”! The real skill comes with redirecting your consiousness away from thoughts after acknowledging them. Feel free to acknowledge your thought, greet it, and recognize it! It’s a thing! But then tell that thought that you’ll come back to it later, and gently send it on its way. Instead of focusing on the things floating in our stream of consiousness, we want to learn more about the stream itself!

SPIRITUAL MEDITATION ONLY!

Meditation is incredibly useful for many things! And many of those things have nothing to do with spirituality or magic or religion! Meditation helps us learn more about ourselves and how our brains work. It teaches us to relax and free ourselves from the vice grip reality and its stressors have on us. Through meditation, we can release unhelpful thoughts, and stress in the body and mind. You don’t have to be a witch, monk, or celestial being to meditate!

IF YOU DON’T HAVE A MAGICAL, TRANSCENDING EXPERIENCE, YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING WRONG!

Again, meditation is more than transcending and magic! If you learn anything about yourself, find peace, de stress, ease discomfort, or really get any sort of benefit at all, you’re doing it right! It takes time to easily shift into meditative states, and even more time to easily get into trance/vision states, so not getting there immediately doesn’t mean you’re a failure! NEVER getting there doesn’t mean you’re a failure! So long as you’re improving your state of mind or body in some way, you win!

MEDITATION IS A RITUAL!

Uh, no. Meditation can take place in a temple, with incense and candles and all that fancy stuff, sure… But it can also take place in your pajamas while chillin’ in bed. Or in the back seat on a long, boring road trip. Or in a hot tub. Or on the bus. All you need to meditate is you, your brain, and a want to meditate. You CAN do a ritual before/after/during meditation if you like, but it’s by no means required!

SIT UP, YOU MUST BE IN THE FANCY LOTUS POSITION!

You don’t need to make a leg pretzel to meditate. You can meditate laying down (if you feel you won’t fall asleep), you can be sprawled out in a beanbag, you can be lounging in a recliner… Whatever you want! Again; getting comfortable enough to let go of your senses is the goal. If a sitting, fancy position isn’t comfy for you, don’t do it!

WHAT’S YOUR MANTRA?

Having a mantra or affirmation to repeat is helpful to some, but it’s not for others. You don’t have to have a mantra, and you certainly don’t have to use it out loud!

BEADS, BALLS, SHAPES, OH MY!

You don’t need mala beads to meditate! Mala beads or prayer beads are used to keep track of how many times you’ve said your mantra or prayer, and are more for specific eastern religions. You don’t need those metal ringy balls, though they can be helpful to have a feeling and motion and weight to focus on. Really, all of these things help to provide a focal point. Any skin-safe stone can provide weight or sensation to focus on, or you can even use a stim (cube, spinner, texture, chew, etc) to help. If you’re a fidgeter, or need stim to relax, stim away! But none of these things are required.

IF IT’S NOT EFFORTLESS, YOU CAN’T MEDITATE!

If you have a hard time meditating, problem solve! What was hard about it? Why? How can you improve the situation for your next try? Meditation isn’t instant, and it’s not effortless and easy for everyone! Take your time, move at your own pace, and find what works best for you.

HOW TO: (this is just one method, the one I use!)

1. Get comfy! If you’re able to change into comfy clothes, do it. If you’re able to get comfortable in bed, or a favorite chair, do it. Of course, things don’t always go our way, and sometimes we’re stuck with less than desirable situations, but do your best with what you have!

2. Get EXTRA comfy and relax. Slowly start relaxing your body. Wiggle around and get your torso and central body comfy, then wiggle and get your shoulders comfy, and then your hips, and then your legs and arms, and then your head, and then your hands and feet. Unclench your jaw, let yourself breathe slowly and comfortably (if you’re like me, counting doesn’t help; just get into a comfy, natural breathing pattern.)

3. REALLY relax. Go back through your body, head to toes, toes to head, bit by bit, and relax your muscles and body as much as possible. If you’re struggling, tense, hold, and then slowly relax each part, bit by bit. Let go of your physical sensation. Work to not feel your body at all. Breathe naturally, and slowly, slowly let your body fade away on its own.

4. Inward we go! Breathe naturally and slowly turn your mind inward, and watch your stream of consiousness. A thought may float along, and that’s okay! You can acknowledge it. Say hello to your thought! But then tell it you’ll focus on it later, and let it go. Gently free it from your focus, and let it float away. Do this again and again until you no longer really need to try on it. Once you’re to the point you can watch your thoughts float by without touching them… Congrats! You’ve reached a meditative state!

5. If you struggle to let your thoughts go, or find yourself worrying you won’t be able to think on it later, or you’ll forget, it’s okay. It’s natural! Instead of stopping and moving your body to pick up a pen and paper to write things down, consider getting a recording device of some sort, and simply give your thought a few keywords out loud, to remind you later, before letting it go. You can keep your focus internal, and just dictate absently if you need to!

A special thanks to @takemetotheastral for giving me the motivation to finally make this post!
