44 Days of Witchery, Day 43: A magical recipe.
This recipe is from one of my favourite books, A Kitchen Witch’s Cookbook, by Patricia Telesco. I’ve added notes on my own variations to the recipe. Serendipity Cookies Crust: 1/2 C. butter 1/4 C. white sugar 1 egg 1/2 tsp. vanilla (for love) 1 1/4 C. flour 1/2 tsp. salt Topping: 2 eggs, beaten 1 …

A favourite nature spirit.
Kokopelli I realize he’s technically a deity, but he’s always seemed more…nature spirity to me, if that makes sense. I’ll walk past a bush, or something, and it’ll rustle and he’ll be in there, part of the bush, and then he’ll be gone, to be part of something else. He moves through the natural world …
44 Days of Witchery, Day 41: A spell you’ve done.
A spell jar for protection and banishment Recently I was feeling really uneasy in my house, so I got a set of little mason jars for spell-making purposes and whipped up this ditty for protecting my house. It’s filled with various things; I can’t remember what all because I was in a hyper-state of panic …

44 Days of Witchery, Day 40: Your altar, if you have one!
This cacophony of light and color is the wall that forms my altars. One on the windowsill, one on the far right, one in the centre, one on the left, and one even further left, on the bookcase. In order: for the Lady of the Stars, for my ancestors, for Morrigan, Brighid, and Manannan in …

44 Days of Witchery, Day 39: Something that inspires you.
The Anticraft. (Maaaay not be safe for work, depending on where you work.) I mean, it quite literally inspires me to do things. I’ve made their Swamp Witch shawl and the Life and Death backpack already, and have a huge list of other things I want to try. All filed away in my Witch / …

44 Days of Witchery, Day 38: Witchy tools: cauldron.
Bad picture. Sorry. My cauldron is brass and up until now has been used to burn candles in, surrounded by water. I may change its use, however. I’m not sure.
44 Days of Witchery, Day 37: A famous pagan or witch!
Starhawk. She’s definitely my favourite pagan author. I ID as Reclaiming-esque so this shouldn’t be a huge surprise. I love Dreaming the Dark and The Fifth Sacred Thing, and I’m working on reading through a number of her other books currently. When I read the Reclaiming Principles of Unity, it was like someone had reached …

44 Days of Witchery, Day 36: Flower of your choice, and its magical properties.
Roses are a pretty popular flower, and it may be because of their various magical properties. (Or it could be because of capitalist Valentine’s Day propaganda; who knows.) They’re my favourite flower, which I didn’t want to admit for all of high school but which I say proudly nowadays, mainly because it means my boyfriend …

44 Days of Witchery, Day 35: Something that I think people who don’t know much about paganism/witchcraft should know.
That they’re not the same damn thing. Actually, I think people who do know a bit about paganism and/or witchcraft should know this as well. Paganism = large umbrella term for non-JCI religions that self-identify as such. Witchcraft = the craft of being a witch; the practice of magic. Big difference there.
