I have a small demo basket I made to go a bit more in-depth about how I make the dandelion stem baskets! It's a bit less of a fine weave since it's made to show the basic technique, but it still looks lovely imo.

^ I start out with a cross of four spokes, two large stems (or other spoke material) per starting branch. I then add a starting stem by wrapping it around one of the spokes as shown.

^ this picture skips ahead a bit but shows the basic twist you do with the two ends of the stem. As you can see by the two different colored stems, the one facing you alternates. Keep care to make it twist the same way through the whole basket (unless you *want* to break up the flow to add a pattern)

You can also see that the doubled-up spokes can be split to increase the base of the basket without the stitches getting too big

^ In addition to adding spokes by folding a stem in half, you can also add them by weaving in two stems at a time like above.

There will end up being loose ends either way, I recommend banding them up against the spokes and adding a couple stitches over them before you snip them off.

If you need to add spokes, whether that be because you accidentally snipped off a spoke or want to make the basket wider, you have a couple options. One, if you have a big spoke, you can split that in half. Two, you can add a new stem and just weave it in where it needs to be.

As you can see, that adds two spokes to the basket. You can just increase it by one by holding one of the edges against an established spoke and treating them as the same one, and then snipping it after a few stitches

^a gif of the twining technique

^ And of course, a final video detailing how I end off the top, because it's easier shown than told!

Anyways, this is the final basket! A bit chunkier than the others ive made, but should still show how I made it pretty well. Feel free to ask questions :D

Reason why, based on past and current experiences, I would be the worst main character in a horror movie:

1. One time I was babysitting my siblings and I heard a loud thump so I went up to check on my five year old brother and he was sitting in the middle of his floor. I asked what he was doing and he said “It’ll all be over soon.” so I kissed his head and said goodnight and left.

2. When I was thirteen my door fell off it’s hinges while I was reading in my bed and I found screws and fixed it and never told anyone or thought about it again.

3. I woke up in my backyard with a bible on my chest, brushed myself off, and went and ate some cereal.

4. My sister woke me up terrified and brought me to my older sister who was banging her head on a wall while asleep, I walked her to bed and tucked her in, and none of us said anything about it again.

5. My grandma told me our house was haunted and I said “they seem to be pretty quiet ghosts then.” Right as a cup fell off the counter without anyone near it, I said “that was petty.” And asked my grandma if she wanted to play cards.

6. The heirloom doll that sits in a box under my bed randomly showed up in my windowsill. I figured it was a better spot anyway and left it. It never moved again.

7. I planted some seeds from a box I found in the garage, and the next day all our plants died so I dug them up and put them back, and everything went back to normal.

8. I moved from a room upstairs to one downstairs and my things kept getting thrown into the hall when I wasn’t home, so I stood in the middle of the room and said, “I’m here now. Deal with it.” My stuff never got thrown out after that.

9. My dad told me he’d been hearing strange noises in the living room at night so I moved the bird cage in there and my dad said it stopped that night.

10. I watched a bunch of my books fall off my shelves so I picked up all the fallen ones and gave them to my grandpa and that was the end of it.

“Healthy Soil” Garden Spell

All gardeners want their plants to be healthy, abundant, and gorgeous. In order to achieve that, a lot of work has to happen. However, there’s nothing wrong with a little magick to help things along!

A good garden begins with good soil. In fact, good soil is the single most important aspect of any successful garden, its very foundation. The better your soil, the stronger and healthier your plants will be, and the more able to withstand pests and diseases.

This is a spell to ensure that the soil in your garden is healthy, nutritious, and absolutely right for whatever you plan to plant.

Materials:

A pot filled with soil

A green candle

Pen or pencil

Paper

A small heatproof container, or a length of aluminium foil

Matches, or a lighter

A spoon

Using your pen and paper, make a list of everything you intend to plant in your garden. Be as specific as possible.

The reason for this is that magick in itself is a neutral force, and thus needs firm and directed guidance in order to work most effectively. This means that if you know the exact variety of tomato you’ll be planting, that’s what you’ll write on your list. If you haven’t decided on the exact variety, then write “cherry tomato”, “slicing tomato” or whatever type you want to grow.

Light your candle, and place the pot of soil next to it. Gaze into the soil, and visualize it glowing with healthy, vibrant life. Then say the following three times:

This is the soil of my garden,

Full of life,

Ready to nourish.

Next, take the piece of paper containing your list, saying:

These are the seeds and plants that will join with the soil.

Then, read your list out loud.

After you have read your list out loud, use the flame of the candle to burn it, being careful that the flames and ashes remain safely in your container or on your length of aluminum foil.

When your list has burned completely, pour the ashes onto the soil, and thoroughly stir them into it with the spoon, while repeating the following at least three times:

The soil of my garden

Holds and feeds

The plants and seeds

Which in time will feed

The soil of my garden.

Finally, take the pot to your garden and pour the soil and ashes in one of your beds.
