Produce Scrap Witchcraft
Being a kitchen witch, I constantly find myself with scraps like peels, piths, stems, and cores. Not only is it productive, it's also great to use scraps that would have otherwise ended up in the trash! Here are some ways I use scraps in witchcraft.
Pretty much anything can be dried and used in spell jars and rituals.
Bell pepper (I grow heirloom peppers) seeds are often planted to encourage growth in my home. If I have too many plants, I will give them to friends or family to encourage their growth as well.
Carrot peels, celery leaves, garlic ends, and onion scraps are usually combined into a pot with water to make veggie stock infused with their properties. Onions for protection, celery for mental power, garlic for protection and purification, and carrot for a fertile future.
Apple cores are usually tossed into a simmer pot with stale cloves, allspice, ginger peels, old cinnamon sticks, and orange peels. This is a home blessing for peace, love, and growth.
Lemons that have been zested and juiced are often blended with moon water and strained for a powerful concoction. Lemon properties include purification, cleansing, and removal of blockages. This water is amazing for spraying outside around the house to protect you from magical blockages and bad intentions.
Limes can also be blended with moon water for promoting tranquility and strengthening love, as well as cleansing and purification. Spray outside and around the house to encourage familial or romantic bonds.
There are so many ways to use scraps, so don't hesitate to do some research and find out what'll work well for you! As always, do your own research and blessed be.
Support your local witch on Ko-Fi or at my store, Hallow Grove!

A Deep Room Cleanse
The state of my room is extremely important to me. It’s a direct reflection of my mental health, so when it’s messy, my energy levels are low and I just feel yucky. There’s no way I’m getting any kind of work done, magical or mundane. When it feels good and clean to be in, it’s a lot easier to deal with my symptoms and be productive. You don’t have to do every step every time of course, but each step has helped me so I figured a list like this might help someone.
Change the lighting. Use natural sources of light (like pulling back the curtains and letting the sun in) over artificial ones. If you have salt lamps to turn on, those are still very nice. If you need artificial light to keep it from being too dark, try to prioritize light bulbs you like the color of, and ones that don’t whistle quietly when they’re on.
Change the airflow. Open a window, if you can. Often our rooms feel yucky because the air is stale. Get some fresh air moving. If it’s too cold, it’s okay to only keep it open for a few minutes or put on a coat while you work because you’re stubborn like me.
Change the sound. Put on your favorite cleansing music. Let it soak into the room. I tend to go or ambient spa stuff, or playlists that sound built for a rainy day. (Note: the music that helps you cleanse the best may not be the same as what you like the most. The playlist should keep you focused/uplifted while you work and reflect the vibes you want your room to have.)
Change the smell. Take out the trash, maybe refresh the sheets on your bed. Light a scented candle, some incense, heat up some oil, something to make your room smell distinctly different from the mucky-feeling room from before. (If your method of choice is something short like a room spray, I actually like doing it at the very end.)
Actually clean and organize. Nothing junks up the energy of a room more quicker than actual junk. Organize everything as much as you can (this might mean finally gutting your closet, even if you can close the door and hide it.) Wipe down any surfaces that need it, get everything fresh and functional again. Do some laundry while you work. If you have clothes or trinkets that are just collecting dust, extra points for purging them!
Cleanse any sacred spaces by themselves. A lot of us have altars or shrines in our rooms. A sacred space can also be just an extra important area of your room, like a reading nook. Make sure to give them extra attention! You don’t need to wipe the board energetically (and probably shouldn’t), but taking a little extra time to clean surfaces, straighten up, and make sure everything feels okay on them goes a long way.
Cleanse in your regular way. Bust out the herb bundles, the bells, the ribbons, the broom, whatever you usually do to cleanse a space! The room is SUPER primed for it now, most of the negative energy probably already feels removed if not broken down. A good once-over with your favorite cleansing method should finish it off nicely.
Refresh any wards or protections. Self explanatory. If you maintain energy borders in your room, now is a good time to check in on them and zhoosh them if needed. Keep the space clean for longer!
Practice self-care. Take a shower, a nap, eat some food, whatever you need. You’ve put in a lot of work and you deserve it.

My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn:
Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her. She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined.

When you become a witch, there's no list of things you must get, there's no list of things you must do, there are no steps to check off.
Just be a witch. The rest comes later.

After careful consideration and going over multiple options I think the best choice is stay warm and cozy in bed forever.
