What people think witchcraft is:

Serious rituals, cloaks, incantations in weird languages, meditation over candle light, cursing people all the time, gazing into a crystal ball and seeing the future, lots of old books with confusing spells and rituals, believing in superstitions, serious tarot sessions

What it actually is:

Shove the shit in the jar, burn the paper, 7 different notebooks as your grimoire w/ notes that you can’t make sense of anymore, staring at the moon for a weirdly extended period of time, shove more shit in the jars, pull a random tarot card & ignore it if it calls you out (bad idea btw), scribble sigils on literally everything, forgetting to put your crystals in the full moon & yelling about it, making yourself tea & pretending to contemplate life when ur actually just thinking about dogs

Samhain Recipes

Here’s a small list of recipes I have accumulated over the few years.

Samhain Warmer -

1 Pumpkin, Apple Cider, Cranberry Juice, Ginger Ale, Rum, Raisins

Slice off top of pumpkin, scoop out seeds and set these aside. Pour equal parts of the liquids to fill the pumpkin; remove and warm until nearly boiling just before the feast. Pour back into pumpkin, add a handful of raisins, and set out for coveners to enjoy.

Wash, then dry seeds and toast lightly in the oven, then eat with salt!

=============================================================

Mulled Cider -

2 quarts of Apple Cider, 7 cinnamon sticks, 1 whole orange, Cloves, Nutmeg, 1 cup of mead (optional)

Warm cider in non-metallic pan until hot; add cinnamon sticks. Let set on low hear, steeping. Meanwhile, stud orange with cloves. Add to cider, then dust with about 1 teaspoon nutmeg. Mead can be added if desired. Serve while warm, but not quite hot. Perfect for all Fall and Winter sabbats.

=============================================================

Crescent (or Moon) Cakes -

1 cup of Almonds (finely grated), 1 ¼ cups flour, ¼ cup confectioner’s sugar, ½ cup butter, 1 egg yolk

Combine almonds, flour, and sugar. Work in butter and egg yolk with hands until well blended. Chill. Pinch off pieces of dough the size of walnuts, shape into crescents. Place on greased sheets and bake at 325 F for about 20 minutes.

(Full moon celebrations, Sabbats in general)

=============================================================

Cyder Cake -

3 cups sifted flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg, ½ cup softened butter, 1 ½ cups sugar, 2 eggs (well beaten), ½ cups cyder. Oven: 350 F.

In a mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and nutmeg. Set aside. In another, larger mixer bowl, beat together well the butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Then add flour mixture and cider alternately, beginning and ending with the flour. Spoon batter into a well-buttered 9 ¼ x 5 ½ x 2 ¾ loaf pan, and bake for 1 hour in preheated oven, or until toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out dry.

(Samhain, Yule)

Resources for Binding Magic

Updated: June 22nd, 2017

For the purpose of this masterpost, I am defining binding as “any spell that can be utilized to prevent a person from performing any specific action, generally harmful in nature, by rendering them incapable or unable of doing so.”

There are other ways to utilize bindings of course - in the instance of keeping something closer to you - but the spells in this list will be relating to the definition I have listed above.

Recently received this message. Let me be perfectly clear: I will not help you bypass someone’s consent. Manipulating someone into having sex with you, magically or physically, is RAPE. This isn’t even one of those sketchy love spell questions, this is a grown man asking how to get “any girl” to give him “passion and sex.”

So instead of a sigil, how about a curse?

Curse the Perve This curse will only work on those who are truly slimy, scumbags. This is for all of the penis carrying population that feel entitled to other people’s bodies. This won’t work unless they are genuinely deserving of this.

What you will need •a banana •a knife •red pepper flakes •black thread •somewhere to bury the banana after you’ve finished

Peel a banana and leave the peel about a quarter on. Take your knife and cut the banana length wise from center to the exposed tip. Place some of the red pepper flakes into the cut. Now, cut half an inch down from the center horizontally. Sever the banana completely, but make sure that the two halves lengthwise are still connected by about half an inch or so. Encrust the banana in red pepper flakes. As you do, use your intent to make the perpetrator’s penis burn anytime they even think of violating someone. Imagine them writhing in pain from the burn. After the banana is completely covered in red pepper flakes, place it back with the other half. You can carefully carve sigils with more of your intent into the peel, but this is not necessary. Pull the banana peel back over the whole thing and tie the tips with the black thread. Bind the banana in the black thread. As you wrap the thread around the banana, think of how you are binding this perpetrator from doing harm to others. Once the binding is done, bury the banana.

NO-KNEAD CRUSTY ARTISAN BREAD

One of my most reader-tested and approved recipes! This crusty, fluffy artisan bread needs only 4 ingredients and 5 minutes to come together… you won’t believe how easy and delicious it is!

The beautiful, crusty and fluffy bread that results from just four ingredients will knock your socks off! All it takes is flour, salt, yeast and water, all mixed up in a bowl and set to rest for 8-24 hours.

Just make sure your flour is fresh and yeast isn’t expired. I’ve used both active dry yeast and highly active dry yeast with great results!

NO-KNEAD CRUSTY ARTISAN BREAD YIELD: Makes 1 loaf INGREDIENTS: 3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons kosher salt (not table salt)

½ teaspoon dry yeast (active dry or highly active dry work best)

1 ½ cups lukewarm water

Special cookware needed: Dutch oven or any large oven-safe dish/bowl and lid*

DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt and yeast. Stir in water using a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a shaggy but cohesive dough. Do not over-work the dough. The less you “work” it, the more soft, fluffy air pockets will form.

Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Let dough sit at room temperature for 8-24 hours*. Dough will bubble up and rise.

After dough is ready, preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place your Dutch oven, uncovered, into the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

While your Dutch oven preheats, turn dough onto a well-floured surface. With floured hands, form the dough into a ball. Cover dough loosely with plastic wrap and let rest.

After the 30 minutes are up, carefully remove Dutch oven. With floured hands, place the bread dough into it. (You can put a piece of parchment under the dough if your Dutch oven isn’t enamel coated.)

Replace cover and bake for 30 minutes covered. Carefully remove cover and bake for 7-15 minutes* more, uncovered.

Carefully remove bread to a cutting board and slice with a bread knife.

Enjoy!

NOTES

Uncovered baking time depends on your oven. In my oven, the bread only needs 7 minutes uncovered until crusty and golden brown, but this can vary. Just keep an eye on it!

Preheating your Dutch oven to 450 degrees F will not damage it, or the knob on top.

I’ve let this dough rise anywhere between 8-24 hours and it has baked up beautifully. Just make sure it has risen and appears to “bubble” to the surface.

There’s no need to grease the Dutch oven/baking dish/pot. My bread has never stuck to the pot. If you are concerned though, put a piece of parchment paper under your dough before placing into your pot.

I do not recommend using whole wheat flour or white whole wheat flour in this recipe. The resulting bread will be very dense, and not as fluffy and delicious.

I used a 5.5 quart enameled cast iron Le Creuset pot, but you can use any large oven-safe dish and cover. All of these also work: a baking dish covered with aluminum foil, crockpot insert, stainless steel pot with a lid, pizza stone with an oven-safe bowl to cover the bread, and old cast iron Dutch oven.

Add any mix-ins you like - herbs, spices, dried fruit, chopped nuts and cheese all work well. I recommend adding them into the initial flour-yeast mixture to avoid over-working the mix-ins into the dough. The less you “work” it, the more you’re encouraging soft, fluffy air pockets to form!

When you live as a witch

Magic isn’t just something you do, You are Magic.

When you live as a witch, spells are reserved for the special days, the special causes, the times when they are needed. Anything else can be whispered to the universe.

When you live as a witch, it’s not the little things you do, it’s everything you do.

Because when you live as a witch, it’s not just a title you put on while you practice, it’s an understanding you live everyday.

You don’t have to have a fancy altar, you don’t have to catch every holiday, you don’t even need a pointy black hat. All you need is yourself because that is enough. Everything else is just a bonus.

[flamekeeperwitch]

Very nice ritual to practice. There are many ways to incorporate magick into your every day life. It’s as simple as becoming conscious of your choices and actions in a way where you can insert your intentions to be carried out.
