Elminx's Long-Form Lemonade for Sweet Cleansing

If you've been hanging out for more than a hot minute, you have probably caught on to a secret about my kitchen witching: it's not the NUMBER of ingredients you enchant; it's how you enchant them. For the purposes of witching, I prefer simple recipes (ingredient-wise) that have a bit of oomph to them. Do you need to stir a pot for 45 minutes straight? (see also my french onion soup recipe) What about starting a vinegar infusion that needs to be shaken every day?

This, as the saying goes, is where the magic is made. At least, for me.

So, imagine my surprise when my friends introduced me to a long-form way of making lemonade. Rather than simply juicing the lemons and adding some sugar and water - you combine the sugar and lemon peels and let them sit for some time to release the lemon's essential oils.

Not only does it make a superior lemonade (can confirm!), but it immediately had my magic wheels turning.

The goal is to make lemonade that will sweetly cleanse you of what ails you. This spell can easily be adapted to add specifiers—see the end of this post for more details.

As always, I will not tell you how to do YOUR magic. This is a technique, not a magic tutorial.

The Basics: When Life Gives You Lemons

Lemons have a long history of use as a cleansing agent. Cunningham's infamous green book lists them as a feminine plant, under the purview of water and the moon and used for the powers of "longevity, purification, love, friendship." (for what that's worth) From an herbal energetic perspective - lemons are considered to be cooling - they are used in the summer to cool hot termperatures and applied to the sick to help bring down fevers. Citric acid is also a bladder stimulant, which we will be making use of for the purposes of our potion-making.

What we associate with lemon as the "cleaning agent" is believed to come from limonene, a terpene found in the peels of most citrus fruits that is both antiviral and antibacterial. Lemonene is used in many cleaners that you can buy on the market but can also be extracted directly from the fruit, as we will do in this recipe.

The Technique

This standard high-end bartender technique makes wonderful, complex sour mixes that can absolutely make the perfect cocktail. Rather than extracting the limonene from the citrus using alcohol or vinegar, we use sugar.

This technique is called oleo-saccharum, which means "oil-sugar" - you are using sugar to draw the essential oils out of the lemon peels, making a natural (no heat) syrup. Note here: this syrup can be used on its own for all sorts of syrupy needs - you could stop the preparation here if you don't love lemonade.

This can be done on the fly (an hour or so), but I highly suggest letting this sit for 12-24 hours for the full effect.

The Recipe

You will need:

5-6 lemons, the best-looking ones you can find

1 1/4 cups sugar

Filter Water (to taste)

Peeler, citrus juicer, optional

Additional magical flavoring, optional

Become better acquainted with your lemons. For the purposes of this recipe, I do this by holding them, talking to them about what I want from them (general or specific cleansing), and rolling them across a hard surface. This last part helps to separate the peel from the pith, which will help you cut away the peel in the next step. Because we intentionally try to release the limonene compounds in this recipe, you may wish to begin by carving your lemon at this step (BEFORE you peel). You could carve your intentions, your name, the names of the people you are looking to cleanse, or any cleansing runes or sigils that you use in your craft.

Carefully peel your lemon. You want to get as little pith (white parts) as possible, as they don't taste good. Take your time here. Really breathe in the scents of the lemon during this. This is the first part of the cleansing process - you are incidentally cleaning yourself and your kitchen as you do this part of the spell. Lean into this. It smells amazing. Revel in it. Think about how it reminds you of everything being shiny and clean as a child. Lemons ARE cleansing - really feel into this here. We won't use the rest of the lemon until tomorrow; you can juice it here or store it overnight in an air-tight container)

Add your lemon peels and the sugar to a mixing bowl and thoroughly massage the sugar into the lemon peels. This should take some time - think fives of minutes at least. You want to do this until you can feel the change in consistency in the sugar - try to incorporate all of the sugar with all of the lemons. Remember, sugar is inherently sweetening, and lemons are inherently cleansing - you combine these two elements here to make a sweet, cleansing spell. Let the smell of it clean out your nose and your sinuses. This is the meat of your spellcasting - you are working your spell into your ingredients. Talk to it. Use your energy. Pray over it. You will know when this step is complete.

Cover your bowl and let it sit at room temperature overnight or for up to 24 hours. The longer this extracts, the more intense the flavor in the finished product. In a pinch, give it an hour, but I suggest waiting at least 8-10 for the best effect.

The next morning, add 2 cups boiling water to your lemon paste and stir until it has thoroughly combined - this is a great place to reinforce your magic from the day beforehand. (This version had the addition of some freshly picked sour cherries which gives its red color)

6. When this has cooled, add the lemon juice and additional water to taste. I personally put this in a half-gallon ball jar and filled it with water, and then my partner and I further diluted it from there.

7. Drink and enjoy. For an extra cleansing effect, consider that part of the act of citrus is that of a urinary stimulant - it will make you pee. Think about how peeing removes things from your life. Remove what needs cleansing. Your spell is complete.

This spell is as simple as that but it can be dressed up in some many different outfits with very little effort. Do you know a flavor (remember, all edibles here) with the right magic associations to add to this spell?

Add some blackberries at the infusion stage for good old-fashioned hedge witch protection. If you really need something out, you could experiment with infusing some jalapeno after you've made the lemonade (tread with a lot of care here...). I've worked with lavender and hibiscus here for calming, cool energies. I recently added a cup of sour cherries to Step 3 for a love-cleansing effect.

There are two ways you can add flavors to this spell: you can mix your flavor in during the sugaring phase, or you can do a secondary infusion after your lemonade has been made. Use your best judgment here - fruits can go in with the citrus peels for sure, but herbs and other more "tea like" ingredients might be better steeped afterward.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm eager to use some of my savory kitchen herbs the next time I near to clear out my money flows.

Or alternatively, use it as the first step in a witchy cocktail (my go-to, as you know). This lemonade makes an exquisite base for a margarita—for a bougie twist, use white Patron and some Chambord; you will not be disappointed.

This is almost a blank slate - sweet cleansing could be used for anything you put your mind to.

No matter what kind of spirituality or faith you practice, you should be educated on spiritual psychosis and how to recognize its signs. The more awareness we spread about this, the less harm over time to religious communities across the globe. Learning about spiritual psychosis saves lives.

Getting Back Into Your Practice

Sometimes life is shitty and your spiritual practice doesn't take priority. Thats okay. Here are some tips for how to get back into your practice once you're feeling up for it.

Cleanse and Clean Your Space This is defiantly the first think you should focus your energy on. This can take as long as needed and as intensive as you want or feel is needed. Spiritual and physically cleanse your space. Pick up items, open windows and start your cleansing method of choice.

Redo Wards and Protections Once you've cleansed its important to redo your protection. Cleanse to get rid of, protect to keep it away. Even if nothing has *hit* your protections and wards, its important to keep up to date on them being energized.

Keep Actives Low on Spoons Now that you've done the basics, stick to low spoon actives and slowly build from there. Even if you feel super energized and ready to get into it- you want to take things slow. This'll help you from losing steam..

Slowly Add Back In Your Daily Practice This is totally unique person to person, but dont expect to be back into your multi step daily routine right away. Add in each step one at a time, or slowly so you wont feel overwhelmed.

Come Up with a Ritual Youre EXCITED About You want to focus on the parts of witchcraft you love. Do something you've always wanted to try, something you always love doing, or anything that will make you excited for the working.

Pick a New Topic, Not an Older One Getting into your practice and going to an older topic might feel disheartening. Pick a new topic like astrology, plants, or an aspect of witchcraft you havent gotten too into before. Then go back to the older topic you left on.

Do Some Divination on What You Need Right Now Spend time with your spirit team, deities or ancestors and figure out what you should be focusing in on right now. Maybe you need more rest, maybe theres a ritual they want you to work on.

Remember You Dont Have To Do Magic Daily Dont put too much stress into doing something every single day. Take breaks. Youre still a witch.

I hope these helped. Remember to take things slow and dont let the pressure of getting back into it weigh you down. Magic is suppose to help not hinder.

Book Rec - Land Healing by Dana O'Driscoll

For anyone looking to cultivate a deeper relationship with their local land spirits or to engage in more active stewardship of their local biome, I'd like to recommend Land Healing by Dana O'Driscoll.

A follow-up to her other fabulous book, Sacred Actions, Land Healing is a comprehensive guide to land healing for neopagans and earth-based spiritual practitioners who have a desire to regenerate and heal human-caused damage throughout our world. The book presents tools and information to take up the path of the land healer with care, reverence, and respect for all beings. This book also puts tools in your hands to be an active force of good and learn how to actively regenerate the land, preserve life, and create sanctuaries for life–in your backyard, in your community, and beyond.

Dana O’Driscoll has been an animist, and bioregional druid for 20 years and currently serves as the Grand Archdruid in the Ancient Order of Druids in America.  She is also a druid-grade member of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids and is OBOD’s 2018 Mount Hameus Scholar.  Dana took up the path of land healing because of the deep need in her home region of Western Pennsylvania, which is challenged by fracking, acid mine drainage into streams, logging, and mountaintop removal. Dana sees land healing as her core personal spiritual path, and has done both individual work in her home region as well as spearheading larger-scale land healing efforts at druid events and through the Ancient Order of Druids in America. Dana is a certified permaculture designer and permaculture teacher who teaches sustainable living and wild food foraging.  She lives on a 5-acre homestead with her partner and a host of feathered and furred friends.

You can find out more about her practices and her publications by visiting The Druid's Garden and you can also hear more on this recent episode of Hex Positive, where Dana talks about her newest book and the inspiration behind it.

Book Review

Title: Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs

Author: Scott Cunningham

Genre/Type: Herbal Magic, Reference

My Personal Thoughts: This book is more of a reference book than a usual book on witchcraft, however I think it is a very good book for beginners and have been using my own copy as a reference for years. The information is a little outdated, and there are places where it is outright incorrect, but I have found in my own experience that correcting those small bits of misinformation with other resources is easier to do than finding another reference book that is as detailed as this one is. The book has sketches of most of the plants discussed, and goes over a variety of correspondences as well as a few examples of what they can be used for.

Technical: Based on Cunningham's own background as a Wiccan, the book does cater to that tradition, though he seems to have made an effort for the book itself to be fairly neutral even if some of that influence shines through in places. The book is well organized by the common name of plants, and it has multiple indexes in the back that group plants by their uses, elemental correspondences, etc for easy reference when planning to use the book more practically. It has an extensive bibliography and was well-researched, and I genuinely think it's one of the best reference books out there for using plants in witchcraft.

Overall Rating: 4/5

[littlewitchygreen]

if u voted for trump, I mean this in the most disrespectful way possible, I do not want anything to do with you. Not only did you vote against basic human rights and equality, you decided rascism, homophobia, islamophobia, transphobia & misogynistic behavior wasn't a deal breaker. i do not want your follow or support ! thank you.

[littlewitchygreen]

I've had this conversation on the topic before, but not on this platform, so I'll say it here too. Maybe this is a controversial take, but genuinely I think a decent chunk of the reason witchblr has gone... stagnant? downhill? in the last few years is truly laziness. If someone is capable (this is Tumblr, so again, CAPABLE not unable for various reasons) to dig deeper and do the research, then I personally think it's beneficial to.

When I share pages from my grimoire on correspondences, the reason I go into the history, biology, psychology, etc of it all was because I got sick of seeing lists of the same information everywhere and no explanations about why those lists existed. It can be a long process to do the work to understand those whys. It can be hard work to do the research and practice to get answers. It can be frustrating to run into dead ends and fact check all the time.

But the results are a much deeper understanding of witchcraft and the connections between things than a simple list would give you - and that's why it's worth it. Not to say lists are bad as a quick reference, I just think people need to move beyond those relatively quickly to get to the meat of what witchcraft really looks like and means. I don't understand people who are fully capable of being a witch with all that entails, and they just simply... choose the shallowest option and do no more digging.

Those appropriative practices stem from larger issues that should definitely be addressed, but I think part of how they end up being so popular is that enough people are lazy enough to question nothing about their practice or the origins of things.

And I don't mean that in a way where "everyone is awful always if they do this", but in a "hey, please look at this/your practice and question the things you're told" kind of way. It's not a bad thing to be misinformed, but it becomes one when someone intentionally refuses to learn.

Witchblr: Remember that African Diasporic and Latin American spiritual practices are closed!

Also Witchblr:

*regularly appropriates limpia con huevo*

*regularly appropriates copal*

*regularly appropriates John the Conqueror root*

*regularly appropriates African Diasporic and Latin American spiritual oils (many of which are tied to very specific plants native to Latin America and/or the Caribbean your average Tumblr witch or pagan has literally never even heard of)*

*regularly appropriates Florida Water*

*regularly appropriates cascarilla*

Witch's Runes

The Witch's Runes are a set of 13 pictographic runes. They are cast similarly in fashion to Futhark runes and interpreted using one's intuition.

To use Witch's Runes for divination, form a question in your mind and push that thoughtform into your runes. When this is complete, cast them all at once, like dice. Only the face up runes are relevant to the reading, disregard any that fall face down. The most significant rune in the reading is the one furthest from you. If all the runes are face down, you aren't yet meant to know the answer (if this happens don't attempt another reading for at least a week). You can also seek general guidance by drawing a single rune.

You can write down as many correspondences as you want, memorize entire lists from someone else's blog or book or whatever, but none of it will matter if you do not understand those correspondences. It's so critically important to ask "Why?"

Why is spirit purple? Why is love red? Why is chamomile calm? Why is quartz "all purpose"? Why does cinnamon speed up a spell?

Why, why, why?

What do you actually believe? And why?

Color Magic: Green

Below I have included a list of correspondences, the history of the color, the biology and psychology of the color, and the magical uses it has. Enjoy!

Correspondences

Associations: Abundance, luck, money, success, greed, jealousy, ambition, fertility, health, growth, rebirth, hope

Element: Earth

Planet: Jupiter and Earth

Direction: North

Season: Winter and Spring

Day: Friday

In Tarot: Pentacles

Jupiter is associated with green because astrologically, it is the planet of abundance, and I personally also associate the planet Earth with green as well, even though Earth is not really a part of astrology for obvious reasons. North is associated with green because that is the direction where most earth is. Winter is the more traditional seasonal correspondence for green, because when nature is resting, what remains is the earth, however, I also believe that spring is a correspondence for green as well due to it being the return of plantlife. Pentacles is also the tarot suit of green, due to it being the suit of earth and also of material wealth/goods.

History

The color green has been alongside us since humanity’s beginning, due to it being commonly found in nature. As a pigment for human use, it started in ancient Egypt by using copper to make a green that eventually faded to black. In ancient Rome, they figured out how to use copper and wine to make the pigment verdigris, and this technique was used all the way through medieval times to color a variety of things.

In Renaissance times, green was usually only worn by those who worked with money - merchants, bankers, etc. They also figured out how to make more green pigments, but those tended to fade over time. In the 1700s, it was discovered that the toxic substance arsenite could be used to make a poisonous looking green that many people used in clothing and toys despite the health effects it caused. A different shade using a variation of arsenite also became highly popular despite causing similar health effects, until it was banned in the mid-1900s. Most modern pigments are made using variations of chlorine, but green is still a difficult color to make safely to this day in a way where it doesn’t fade.

Green has a long history of being connected to wealth, rebirth, nature, and even danger. Whether it be through religion, culture, or something else entirely, green has followed humanity for years, and will likely continue to do so even if that connection gains new layers.

Psychology and Biology

The primary known effect of the color green is that it is a relaxing color for our bodies. Muscles have been shown to relax, and breathing tends to be slower and deeper when people are exposed to the color green. It has also been known to slow the heartrate to a calmer level, and has been shown to boost recovery times after medical procedures due to its positive effects on the body. Because of its relaxing effect on the body, sleep can also sometimes be improved through exposure to the color.

Psychologically, green has been shown to create feelings of comfort, calm, and relaxation in most cases. Psychologists believe this is due to how green the natural world is, however they have also noted that certain shades have an opposite effect on people. Darker and greyer shades seem to remind people of death and decay, creating discomfort in those exposed to the shades. Generally though, green has been shown to create more positive feelings in those exposed to it.

Magical Uses

Green is frequently used in witchcraft for money spells, fertility spells, and luck spells. It can also be used in earth magic, or for use in health magic or creating less stress in a witch’s life. Aside from money, it can also be used in spells to draw in abundance in a more general sense as well. As with most color magic, there is not a real limit to the ways that color magic can be added to other magic, so when using green as a component in a spell, there is no strict limit to what can be done with it.
