the trees you grew up with have not forgotten you. their branches still whisper your name in the breeze and their roots remember the paths your feet once traced through their shade.

Y’all I’m being so serious when I say this: go to the library for witchcraft reasons.

You can usually find books on witchcraft, yes, but there’s also field guides on local foraging and wildlife, cookbooks, books that teach you how to craft and DIY, books about environmental protection and stewardship, books on how to use herbs medicinally, books about other religions, cultures, and spiritual practices. My favorite local library even has a seed swapping program and fantastic resources to research your own family history!

Go to the library for witchcraft. Please. :) <3

Also, library use is engaging and being in community with others.

That contributes to your craft, your personal work, your spirit.

Go to the library for witchcraft.

It smells so good in here

There's a certain poetry to finishing this right as it's getting dark and blue outside.

(This came out so fucking good I will definitely be making this again.)

Certainly!

I was loosely following a wassail recipe I found but made some substitutions, and this might be closer to a mulled cider than a true wassail, but either way it's delicious.

Ingredients:

-64 floz (~2 litres) of apple cider

-5 mid sized oranges

-1 regular or 2 small lemons

-1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

-3 or 4 cinnamon sticks (I used three since one was chonky)

-fresh ginger root (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger)

-15 whole cloves or 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

-1 Tablespoon of honey

Optional: your choice of rum or brandy

Preparations:

Juice four of the five oranges and your lemon(s). Slice the fifth orange and poke the whole cloves into the slices.

Thinly slice the ginger root. I ended up only using one of the two pictured, and each of those were about 4 inches long or so.

Add all of the ingredients to your cooking vessel and bring to a medium heat. You want to see a bit of bubbling in the liquid (not a rolling boil) and a froth/foam will form on top. This is fine!

Reduce to a low simmer (around a 3 out of 10) for 30-40 minutes. Stir everything in the pot in about five minute intervals.

Storage:

If you aren't going to drink it all immediately, you can pour it back into the original cider container or any air tight container and keep it in the fridge.

Yearly reblog of my wassail recipe with the addendum that you DO NOT need fresh ingredients for this.

I've opted to use a 1/4 teaspoon of all four spices, and got a single serve thing of Simply Orange orange juice and grocery store lemon juice instead of freshly juiced citruses the last couple times I've made this. If you want to just buy a bunch of things, toss them into a pot together, and simmer them you absolutely can do that.

dont call yourself a witch if u ise ai. i needed to say that bc im so angry rn

They are currently trying to build more ai centers across Appalachia. They’re destroying hundreds of acres of forest to do this.

If you go out of your way to use AI, then you’re contributing to pollution and deforestation. Which any REAL witch would be against.
