[chocororos]

this is my brother, making hot chocolate with me. i taught him about stirring counter clockwise/clockwise and how that can banish or add an element to things and what does he do?

“i’m gonna add some cold into this.”

“but it’s HOT chocolate.”

“yes, and?”

Commune With The Dead Cider

Cider is a drink often consumed on Samhain to honor the dead...

In Celtic legend, apples were strongly associated with the dead, wands made from the bark of an apple tree allowed one to communicate better with the dead, apple also was believed to be one of the fruits of the other-world and could be eaten to attain knowledge beyond the veil. 

Thyme - psychic awareness, commune with dead

Cloves - protection, psychic powers/growth

Cinnamon - protection, establishing a sacred place

Bay leaves - promote communication with the dead, are used in funeral wreaths, and shared during ancestral feasts on Samhain.

Frankincense - help spirits find their way (to you)

INSTRUCTIONS

3 sliced apples

4 cinnamon sticks

1 ts of cinnamon powder 

1 bay leaf

2 pinches of thyme

1 tbsp whole cloves

3-5 drops of frankincense essential oil

brown sugar (enough to sweeten to your liking)

Put everything in a pot and cover in water, simmer this all on high for 30 minutes before putting a top on the pot and let it simmer for two hours.

Set up for tea time, set out a few candles, serve yourself and anyone else there some cider, pour a cup for the deceased you wish to speak with (set out a photo of them next to their cup and maybe an object tied to the person) and before you light the candles say...

Spiced Milk and Honey

Merry Meet,

This is one of my favorite recipies for milk and honey. During the spring and summer I just stir a tablespoon of honey into cold milk, but as we move into the colder months I love steamed milk with honey and spices! It’s super simple and tastes absoloutely amazing-hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

*2 cups whole milk

*1 whole vanilla pod (sliced open)

*1 cinnamon stick

*4 whole cloves

*1/4 tsp nutmeg

*1 tbsp honey

Instructions

1. Add the milk and spices into a small pot on medium-high heat. Heat the milk, stirring, until just under boiling. Stir clockwise to bring intentions (peace, relaxation, happiness, sleep) or counter-clockwise to banish (negativity, bad dreams, tension). You can also use your spoon to draw sigils as you stir.

2. Remove from heat and let sit for about 10 minutes to let the spices infuse into the milk. During this time you can do many things-draw a sigil in your mug with extra honey, set intentions at the bottom of your mug and let them manifest in you while you drink, or whatever special ritual you have.

3. Strain your milk and reheat on the stove until to the desired temperature.

4. Pour into your mug and stir in honey to taste. Sip slowly and enjoy the feeling of warmth and calmness.

Let me know if you try this recipie/what you think!

Blessed Be,

Cassandra
