Basic safety/responsibility tips for new witches ✨

-Always maintain adequate ventilation & precautions for anything burning: candles, incense, cooking, etc. Do not leave flames unattended.

-Make sure your herbs/aromatics are pet AND human safe. Check for allergies & read up on ASPCA guidelines.

-Read up on cultural appropriation in witchcraft. Smudging, hoodoo & voodoo, Kabbalah, etc are closed culture. Respect practices that aren’t yours to take.

-Pseudoscience is not magic. Magic is about empowerment, not coercion. Crystals will not heal your anxiety any more than a good book. Cure-alls don’t exist, and anyone selling them is a scammer, not your friend.

-Wicca is Not the only option for witchcraft, & was designed to be inherently transphobic, racist and antisemitic. Try to explore other witchy communities to see what feels best for you.

-You will make mistakes. That is okay. Be willing to learn and ready to accept the consequences.

🌿🔮 Homemade Magical Infused Oils 🔮🌿

Hello lovelies 🥰

Today, I wanted to share with you how to make your own magical infused oils. Not only are they fun to make, but they can also add a touch of magic to your rituals and spells.

Ingredients:

A glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Carrier oil (such as olive oil, coconut oil, or almond oil).

Your preferred magical herbs, flowers, or crystals.

A small funnel.

Magical Properties:

Carrier oils: these represent the element of earth and can be used to ground and stabilize energy.

Herbs and flowers: these have a wide range of magical properties depending on the type and can be used for various spells and rituals.

Crystals: these can enhance the energy of the oil and be used for specific intentions.

Here are some magical herbs, flowers, and crystals you can use:

Lavender: peace, relaxation, purification

Rosemary: protection, clarity, memory

Chamomile: calming, sleep, luck

Sage: cleansing, wisdom, healing

Calendula: abundance, happiness, divination

Amethyst: intuition, protection, peace

Citrine: prosperity, abundance, creativity

Clear quartz: amplification, clarity, manifestation

Instructions:

Cleanse your glass jar and funnel with salt water or a cleansing herb like sage or palo santo.

Fill your jar about 3/4 of the way with your carrier oil.

Add your chosen herbs, flowers, or crystals to the jar using the small funnel. You can use one type of herb or a combination of several.

Once you've added all of your ingredients, seal the jar tightly and give it a good shake to mix everything together.

Place the jar in a cool, dark place for 1-2 weeks to allow the magic to infuse into the oil.

After 1-2 weeks, strain the oil through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer into a clean jar or bottle. Your magical infused oil is now ready to use!

I love using these oils for anointing candles, adding to bathwater, and even using in my skincare routine. The possibilities are endless 🥰✨

I hope this inspires you to start making your own magical infused oils and get creative with different herbs, flowers, and crystals. Let me know if you've ever made your own magical oils before, I’d love to hear about your process!

A California poppy gently embraces the stages before bloom, its petals glowing warmly against a dark backdrop. There's something quietly magical in this dance of nature, preparing to fully reveal its beauty.

Kitchen Magic: Chive Infused Vinegar

Chives are a wonderful but underused ally to the witch who works in the garden and in the kitchen. They are an easy herb to grow - far easier to manage than its other allium cousins, onion or garlic, and they can produce all season long with a bit of care. Plus, like the other alliums, they convey the magical properties of protection and hex-breaking which are always welcome in a witch's home.

Here in Southern New England, the first shoots of chives break ground in late April or early May and they are ready to harvest by the end of May or early June. We try to wait until they have flowered for the first time to harvest and then we cut them back to about 1 inch. This can be done every two to three months throughout your harvest season giving you a near-endless supply of herb to use in your kitchen and in your magic.

We cut up the green shoots and store them in the fridge where they can be added to any dish that you might use onion but the flowers - oh, they are a treasure all their own! They can be put into salads for a spicy flower treat or added to dishes as an edible garnish but I wanted to share with you my secret for preserving the beautiful flavor of chive: chive blossom-infused vinegar.

If you've been hanging around for a while, you might have caught on that I love using long-form infusions in my witch work. Stored safely in a ball jar, you can infuse your intentions into your work over and over again as you return to it daily to shake the contents. Then, depending on your intention, you can charge the final product with any number of things (sunlight, moonlight, candles, insert your favorite method here) to finalize your ingredient. This can then go into further spellwork or be used as-is.

Making chive vinegar is easy: harvest and wash your chive flowers. You want to use flowers that are opened but not at the seed phase yet. You can add in some greens, too, if you want, but this is not necessary. Add your chive blossoms to a sealable jar (I prefer ball-styled jars for this purpose but a reused jar will do so long as it seals well) and top with white vinegar. I use about twice as much vinegar as chive blossoms but you can add more or less - just make sure that your blossoms are submerged. Put your vinegar in a space out of the direct sun and let it sit for three weeks - return to it daily (or as often as you remember) to give it a good shake.

After the three weeks is up, strain out the chives parts and store the vinegar in a pourable container - you might want to use one that see-through because it is the most beautiful color pink.

There are so many ways that you could use chive vinegar. You can use it to quick pickle things or in a salad dressing. You can clean with it if you think that your house needs hex-breaking and/or protection. Mix one tablespoon of vinegar in with the water when you wash your floors or use it as is to wash windows or mirrors. You could add some into bathwater to create a hex-breaking bath.

Or, how about a combination of all three? Clean yourself (internally and externally) AND clean your house.

Do you like my work? You can support me over on KoFi by tipping me, purchasing an astrology report, or buying some of my art.

An American Witch’s Herbal: Hosta

Hosta spp.

Common Names: Hosta, Plantain Lilly, Giboshi, Funkia

Type: Herbaceous Perennial

Element

Astrological

Magical Uses

Botanical Family: Asparagaceae

Region of Origin: China, Japan, Korea and Eastern Russia

Hosta, after Nicolaus Thomas Host, who was considered to be an expert on grasses. The genus went through many name changes to get where it is today, though.

Growth and Care

Is there any garden plant quite as ubiquitous as the hosta? It’s a popular pick because of its extreme hardiness--even the most beginner of a gardener would be hard pressed to kill these. Sometimes even when you think they’re gone for good, they have a tendency to rise from the dead and surprise you. While not at all particular, they do have a preference for at least some shade and may flounder if left in hot soil and all-day sun. Planting them underneath trees can be a good way to fill space, provide them protective shade and shelter from storms and hail, if those are issues in your area.

Mostly grown for attractive foliage that lasts from spring through summer, hostas come in a variety of colors and variations including white, yellow, all shades of green to almost blue, sometimes with stripes and splashes of multiple colors on the same plant. There are miniature varieties that comfortably live on office desks like the 4-5 inch ‘Mouse Ears,’ up to the massive ‘Empress Wu’ cultivar, which grows to a mature height of 4 feet tall and 6 feet wide. They put up a flower in summer, usually white or light purple in color, which rarely has much of a fragrance. The exception to this is H. plantaginea and its cultivars, sometimes called ‘August Lily.’

They will spread over time, and you may find yourself having to divide them every three years or so if you want to maintain your planting to roughly its original size.

General Use

Though here in the west we tend to think of hostas as simply ornamental, in some parts of Asia it is grown as a vegetable. Deer, rabbits, slugs and snails will all happily munch on it, but it is toxic to dogs, cats and horses. Best way I’ve found to prepare them so far is to gather the young, still-furled shoots in spring and prepare them as you would asparagus, maybe by sautéing in a little butter or olive oil. The flavor is similar! (@alexisnikole TikTok/@blackforager on Insta has a great little video where she wraps them in [vegan] bacon!) Once the leaves have opened up, they do take a bitter turn.

Magical and Symbolic Use

In the language of flowers, the hosta has been used to symbolize devotion. This devotion doesn't really have a specifically romantic bent, as "friendship" is usually another meaning ascribed to these plants. Regardless of the specific connotation, the constancy and resilience of hostas make these an obvious choice for inclusion in rituals designed around growing and maintaining positive relationships.

Wild Summer Foraged Tea 🍵☀️

Hello darlings 🥰

I just finished making a witchy Summer tea blend from local forgeables that I think you might enjoy ☀️

I started off by harvesting and preparing dandelion root and wild strawberry leaves and flowers to create a delightful tea blend infused with saffron, chamomile, lavender, and hibiscus I had dried before. Let's get started ✨

Step 1: Harvesting 🌱

☀️Choose a sunny day to venture out and harvest the ingredients directly from nature.

🌿Dandelion Root: Dig around the base of the dandelion plant, gently loosening the soil with a garden fork or trowel. Carefully lift the root out of the ground, ensuring you have the entire root intact.

💮 Wild Strawberry Leaves and Flowers: Look for wild strawberry plants and carefully pluck the leaves and flowers, choosing vibrant and healthy ones.

Here are my harvested dandelion roots and strawberry leaves and flowers. After thoroughly cleaning the dandelions, I saved the super nutritious leaves and stems for an allium and spice base of a future meal.

Step 2: Cleaning and Drying 🫧

🚿 Rinse the dandelion root, wild strawberry leaves, and flowers under cool running water to remove any dirt or debris.

🍠 Separate into 2 trays; one with the strawberry flowers, leaves, and fine dandelion roots, and one with the sliced thicker dandelion roots

🧽 Pat them dry using a clean towel or let them air dry for a few hours to remove excess moisture.

☀️ Place the ingredients on a tray or in a basket and leave them in a warm, well-ventilated area to dry completely. This process can take up to a week or two, depending on the humidity.

🔥Alternatively, dry them in a food dehydrator or in an open oven on a low heat.

Step 3: Creating Your Magical Tea Blend 🍵

🍵 Once the ingredients are fully dried, gather them along with any other herbs you would like to add. I added saffron, chamomile, lavender, and hibiscus to mine as it’s main function is to aid in female reproductive health.

🫙Mix the dried ingredients together, considering the desired ratios for each ingredient based on personal preference. Store your tea blend in a labeled airtight container, protecting it from moisture and light.

Magickal and Medicinal Properties ✨

🌺 Saffron: Enhances intuition, promotes spiritual growth, and adds a touch of luxurious flavor. Also helps regulate menstrual cycles, alleviate menstrual pain, and promote hormonal balance. I harvested mine in early Spring and added just 4 strings.

🌼 Chamomile: For peace. Also eases menstrual cramps and reduces PMS symptoms..

💜 Lavender: For relaxation, balance, and harmony. It also encourages emotional balance, supporting overall well-being.

🌺 Hibiscus: For love and divination. Also rich in antioxidants and can help support a healthy cardiovascular system, which is essential for optimal reproductive function.

🌱 Dandelion Root: To promote inner strength and resilience. Also supports hormone balance and aids in menstrual discomfort relief.

💮 Wild Strawberry Leaves & Flowers: For joy and vitality, abundance and love. Also traditionally used to support healthy menstruation and alleviate PMS symptoms.

Embrace the magic of nature's bounty as you create this enchanting tea blend, honoring the healing and nourishing properties of each ingredient.

Growing things is alchemy. Gardening and farming are magic.

You take dirt and water and seed, and you mix them together. If you ate this, it wouldnt nourish you. Might even make you sick. But you mix them together, and powers outside of yourself begin to work. You activated this process by your own action. Magic.

As it grows, you feed it. Rotten stuff - compost, manure, ground bones and fish guts. You cant eat these things. But you will turn it into something edible through the most primal transmutation. This refuse will nourish you, if you give it time and attention. Keep stirring your ingredients in at the right times. Add water. Let the heat of the sun be an upside down burner for the pot.

And now you've got fruit - a melon, or potato, or maybe an herb. Something you can consume that will nourish you. And you were the one that knew how to mix things together just so, at just the right time, that it grew.

That's magic.

Quick spell I made up! Got eggs? Great! use the eggs and save the shells, then, rinse them if you desire and take them outside, did a small hole in the ground (I did this in my garden) and put the egg shells inside then recover with dirt while thinking about how the eggs will protect your house or garden and step on where you buried the eggs and imagine the energy and protection being released.

This spell would probably be done best if you did it on the corners of your property, garden, or home but I didn't have the energy to do that and since I consider the garden to be the hub of my home I thought it was good enough, best is, it fertilizes my garden and can easily be recharged when I decide to make an omelette again.
