Small batch bread for prosperity

I love to make this bread when I want something warm and comforting but I am too tired to cook. It takes literally no effort, barely any kneading and the dough is ready in 10 minutes tops.

Plus, if you make it with intent, it's as good as any other complex, time consuming magic recipe.

INGREDIENTS

360 grams of flour (prosperity, for me) A teaspoon of salt 5 grams/a packet of yeast (speeding up spells, for me) 300 grams/mls of cool water Linseed (prosperity, wealth) Pumpkin seed (prosperity, good luck)

Combine all dry ingredients together in a big mixing bowl, with intent. Make sure the salt and the yeast don't touch directly as that would spoil the yeast. If you don't have a lot of pumpkin seed or linseed, leave them out of the recipe for now (you can use them as decoration). Make a hole in the middle of the dry ingredients, and slowly add the water, mixing thoroughly. The dough will be shaggy but that's OK, that's how we want it to look (it won't come together or form a ball at this stage). Cover it and let it rise for 12 to 18 hours, depending on how warm your kitchen is. The dough should have doubled or tripled in size during that time.

Right before cooking, knead it a little extra, but not so much that you eliminate all of the air on it. At this point the dough should naturally take the shape of a ball. If it doesn't, all extra flour until it holds shape. The texture of the dough should be similar to that of your earlobe. When you have a soft ball that more or less holds shape, preheat your oven or air fryer to 200º, Once it has reached that temperature put your ball of dough in there and cook it for 20 minutes. Your bread should be ready and warm. Let it cool down a little before slicing it! *** This recipe can also be done with sourdough. I have tried before and you will have to adapt the recipe depending on the level of humidity of the sourdough starter that you keep. Happy baking!

i think kabru would try so valiantly to not have romantic feelings for laios, which should be easy to do considering all the things that annoys him about laios, but he keeps being totally smitten and endeared by how considerate and affectionate he can be (his ass is not escaping the romance novel narrative)

Solid Perfumes and Balms Recipe

One of my favourite spell forms is something I can physically wear like a perfume, balm or body butter. Whilst this is not a recipe I favour (I prefer spray on perfumes and liquid oils), its one that has served me well in the past for glamours, anti-anxiety, and a little luck before job interviews.

Apply to your wrists and neck for a perfume, or use to create a creme makeup product such as a blush or bronzer.

Generic Recipe Base:

Always be mindful of irritants like cinnamon when creating balms!

1 tablespoon of oil (jojoaba or any other neutral oil)

1 tablespoon beeswax or emulsifier wax

OR 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or shea butter and 1/2 tablespoon of wax

10-20 drops of essential oils for a perfume (or add until desired scent is achieved), for more subtle scents 3-5 drops

1/2 -1 tablespoon of mica powder or mineral powder to colour

Melt together the wax and oil or simply melt down a dense, solid oil or fat like coconut oil, adding in vitamin E oil and mix well

Stir in essential oil (or oil you have infused with your herbs), add in your mica powder if you wish to colour it

Allow to cool slightly and pour into a slightly heated, wide rimed jar and let sit to solidify completely before sealing it - old lip balm tins, tiny jam jars and balm jars work well to store this

_________

Prosperity and Luck for Job Interviews:

Melt down your liquid oil and wax, and mix well

Stir in 9 drops of prosperity oil (ylang-ylang, lemon, basil and mint) - I like to add things in threes, so three lots of three

Allow to cool and add to a small tin or jar and allow to cool at air temperature

_________

Glamour Creme/Cream Blush

Met together shea butter and wax - more wax will make a thicker, longer lasting blush whilst more aloe will make a smoother, more subtle one

Add in aloe vera and a glamour or love/attraction oil (rose, apple blossom, lavender and jasmine - as this is blush only add 3 drops!) and whisk until smooth, taking it off the heat

Slowly add in mica powders and cocoa powder a tiny pinch at a time until the desired colour is reached

add to a tine or jar and let cool at air temperature

Adapt the recipes as needed for what you have and to your own practice <3

Mabon apple pie recipe

In celebration of Mabon next week, I am sharing my favorite apple pie recipe. I chose to share this a week in advance so that those who want to make it can prepare the ingredients. All ingredients can be plant-based, for those who are vegan the egg is not necessary (you may need to add a little more butter)

Witchy tips during baking:

Mix clockwise and say your intentions for the cake out loud, this could be "I welcome abundance into my life with open arms.", "I embrace the blessings of the harvest and celebrate the abundance it brings." or if you plan to share the pie with friends and family: "May this pie nurture the bonds of love and friendship among us."

When you sprinkle the spices into the cake, do this clockwise and say each correspondence out loud as you do this: Cinnamon: for love, and warmth Cardamom: for attraction and harmony Nutmeg: for prosperity and luck

Carve sigils of choice in the bottom of the pie before adding the filling.

Ingredients For the dough: 500 grams plain flour 1 sachet (15 grams) baking powder 150 grams of white caster sugar 50 grams of light brown caster sugar 150 grams of melted butter 1 egg Pinch of cinnamon, cardamom and nutmeg

For the filling: 1-1.5 kilos of apples 100 grams soaked and patted dry raisins (optional!) 1 tablespoon cinnamon (or more, until all apples are nicely coated)

To brush the dough before it goes into the oven: To give the cake a beautiful golden color, I recommend brushing the cake with 1 beaten egg OR a dash of milk of your choice before putting it in the oven.

Preheat the oven to 190 degrees celcius (374 F)

Peel and cut the apples into wedges, sprinkle with the cinnamon and the raisins that you have pre-soaked and patted dry.

Mix all the ingredients for the dough together until it becomes a crumbly dough (it should be able to stick together and not be too dry, if this is the case I recommend adding more butter to the dough!)

Grease a baking tin with butter or oil and line the bottom with baking paper.

Divide the prepared dough into 3 parts, and put 1 part over the bottom. Press this with your hands or a spoon with a little flour on it so that the dough does not stick.

Then take 1 more part of the divided dough and press it onto the edges around the baking tin. You can roll this out with a rolling pin and cut it to size, I think this takes too long so I just press the dough along the edges (about 0.5 cm thick)

Put the apple filling in the pie and spread it evenly.

Sprinkle the last remaining part of the made dough over the pie to get an apple crumble pie, if you want a lattice top: make a ball of the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin. Cut strips from the dough that are 1.5 cm wide and long enough to cover the pie. If you are making a lattice top, brush it with egg OR milk of your choice to give it a nice golden glow. If you have a crumb top this is not necessary.

Bake the pie for 40-50 minutes, but keep an eye on the pie because every oven is different! You know the pie is ready when you insert a toothpick or skewer into it and the apples can be pierced and the dough does not remain wet around the stick.

Let the pie cool down for fifteen minutes before removing it from the baking tin.

I made some strawberry freezer jam for a love spell.

This strawberry freezer jam will not only bring sweetness but will also carry your love magic, manifesting the intentions you’ve infused in it.

Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and mashed (symbolizing love and passion)

1 ¾ cups sugar (for sweetness in love)

4 tablespoons lemon juice (for clarity and purity in relationships)

1 packet of powdered pectin

A pinch of pink Himalayan salt (for protection in love)

Instructions

Clean your workspace and set the mood with candles or rose quartz. Focus on your intentions for love and affection as you begin.

In a bowl, gently mash the strawberries while visualizing the sweetness and love you want to attract or strengthen.

Combine the sugar, lemon juice, and mashed strawberries. Stir in the powdered pectin and mix thoroughly. If using rose water, dried petals, or vanilla bean, add them now.

As you stir, repeat a love-focused affirmation, such as: “With sweetness and love, this jam I create, To nurture the bonds and open the gate. A love that is pure, a love that is true, Let this magic work, through and through.”

Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the pectin to activate.

Pour the mixture into a clean glass jar, leaving a bit of space at the top for expansion in the freezer. Seal tightly.

Place the jar in the freezer. As you do, visualize the love energy being preserved within the jam.

Use a spoonful of the jam in a romantic breakfast with your lover or crush.

Here me out:

The first time Tom ever had chocolate was when he was nine, and someone opened a candy store down the street from the orphanage.

He had been staring through the window in the pouring rain, wishing he could have at least one of the Bars.

Then his attention was captured by a boy of twelve who was the owners son staring back at him. Before Tom could run away the boy opens the door waving him.

Tom is shocked that he lets him pick any candy off the shelves for free. He just has Tom promise to come back.

Tom picks a "chocolate frog" and runs all the way home thinking of the pretty green eye boy who smiled at him.

Meanwhile, Harry watched Tom Riddle from the Candy store with a confused smile. His "father" and "mother" come up from the back.

"What you looking at Harry?" Ron asks putting down two crates.

"I found baby Dark Lord"

"Oh good. Makes things easier, " Hermione says. "If anything, the time travel de-aging Harry will give him the opportunity to get closer and help him before he goes Dark"

I’m sorry but all I could see was Harry growing up to be a magical Timothée Chalamet-esque Wonka and Tom losing his goddamn mind over this eccentric chocolate fiend that lives down the road 😭

Kitchen Witch Recipes: A Harvest Soup Ritual

With this recipe, I use a different technique than usually applied to kitchen magic (where you apply an individual intention to each ingredient). Instead, the ingredients in our soup are stand-ins for the abundance/wins we have experienced over this growing season. This isn't so much a creation spell as it is an acknowledgment ritual.

As this recipe is written, we are using five main ingredients in this spell; to begin, you should sit down and determine five wins you have had over this harvest season*. These can be big wins like buying a house or getting a new job or smaller wins like getting outside to walk for your stupid mental health on most days. You will want to connect each of your five wins to one of our five ingredients: onion, celery, garlic, apple, and potato. This can be done arbitrarily or with intense purpose as you see fit.

*Whatever that means for you.

This ritual is quite simple. After you have set up your kitchen space as you like to for magic, you begin by becoming better acquainted with your ingredients. As I clean and prepare each of my five ingredients, I like to speak to each and talk about the win that they represent. I use my voice to connect my ingredient with the gratitude that I feel for what has gone my way. You can carve into your ingredients with a pairing knife to write out your win or use sigils during this time. If you do energy work, you can fill the produce with gratitude or your heart's energy. This is the main working of this spell and where you should be spending the most time.

Because we will blend this soup, you do not need to cut your produce into any particular-sized pieces. It helps to cut into equal-sized pieces, but this is unnecessary.

Note here: do your apples last if you are carving into your produce since they will oxidize and turn brown, which is unpleasant

From here, you can continue onwards to make your soup. You can add any kitchen magic here that you like to use in your practice. I like to stir my soup in a clockwise motion since this is a positive working, but this is, of course, up to you. I continue to speak words of gratitude over my soup as I prepare it and I thank each ingredient as I introduce it into my soup. Do what feels right for you here.

When it comes time to blend the soup together, say something like, "As I blend these moments of achievement together, I acknowledge how far I/we have come." As the soup is being served, I might say, "I serve up our past blessings to fuel me/us for future wins."

You will need:

1 Large Yellow Onion

2 stalks Celery

Garlic to taste (I used six to represent abundance)

2 large yellow or red potatoes (or 1 Russett)

2 large or 3 small red apples (pick the ones you like)

Herbs to taste (use what you have)*

A blender, immersion preferably

Salt, pepper

Cooking oil (I use butter)

4 cups Broth (vegetable or chicken) plus two cups water

Parmesan cheese (optional)

Heat oil, add all the produce except your garlic, and slowly cook on moderate heat until the onion is translucent, and the produce has reduced in half - this should take 10-15 minutes. Salt moderately during this step to bring out the flavors and cleanse your ingredients.

Add in your chopped garlic and cook until fragrant

Add in your spice, broth, and water, and bring to a boil

Decrease to a light simmer and cook for 30 minutes

Blend until smooth; Salt and Pepper to Taste

Top with parmesan if using, and serve with a crusty loaf of bread

I don't peel my produce for this soup, but you can do it if you prefer. If you like a chunkier soup, you can blend half of it and return it to the pot. I imagine a dollop of pesto would be amazing on top, but I haven't tried that yet.

*You can spice this soup in any way you prefer for a vegetable soup. My partner and I make a spice from our farmshare herbs (basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, and savory) that is lovely on vegetables, so I use that. Any Italian blend will work. You can easily add additional intentions into this soup if you wish with your herb choice.

What I like about this ritual is that it is a great way to include other people who may not think magically in a ritual without it being too over the top. To include your entire household in this, you can choose 5 wins for your household and assign one to each ingredient. The carrots could be "Dad's raise" and the potatoes "Jimmy's Straight A's in Allegbra". If you are focused on your wins, the soup should be shared with you and your spirits; if you are focused on your family's wins, share it with the whole family.

This is, as usual, meant to be a starting point for a ritual - you should add your magic in any way that makes sense for your practice. You could adapt this idea by applying it to a different meal. I suggest using late-season/harvest ingredients for this, whatever you make, as that best aligns with this ritual's concept.

Breaking Tradition: Crafting Your Own Witchy New Year Rituals 🌿✨🍲

Traditions are powerful, magical things—but they’re not set in stone. As witches, we thrive on intention, creativity, and personal connection, which means we have the freedom (and the power) to craft rituals and traditions that resonate with us on a deeper level.

For years, I struggled with the pressure to stick to family traditions I didn’t love—namely, eating black-eyed peas and collard greens every New Year’s for luck and prosperity. While I respect the meaning behind them, I can’t stand the taste and I don’t feel a connection to them. This year, my partner and I decided to break the mold and start something new: creating our own recipes that embody the same intentions but in ways that truly delight us.

Here’s what we’re doing instead:

• We’re choosing ingredients that symbolize abundance, growth, and luck, but swapping black-eyed peas and collards for things we love, like sweet potatoes, green beans, or even orzo (which feels like golden grains of prosperity).

• We’re cooking together, imbuing the process with love, laughter, and shared energy—because that’s what we want to carry into the new year.

• We’re building a tradition that reflects us and our values, blending magic, intention, and delicious food that we actually enjoy eating.

Why It’s Okay to Break Tradition:

Family traditions can be meaningful, but they’re not the only way to honor your roots or celebrate the season. Witchcraft is all about personal empowerment and aligning your actions with your intentions. By crafting your own traditions, you’re creating rituals that hold deeper meaning for you and your path.

A Witchy Recipe for New Traditions:

1. Start with Intention: What energy do you want to invite into your life this year? Abundance? Love? Joy? Build your meal around those themes.

2. Choose Ingredients That Speak to You: Find foods that symbolize your intentions but feel personal and enjoyable. For example:

• Sweet potatoes for prosperity and grounding.

• Green beans for growth and luck.

• Orzo or rice for abundance and wealth.

3. Cook with Magic: Stir clockwise to draw in positive energy. Speak your intentions as you add each ingredient. Light a candle while you cook to amplify your magic.

4. Celebrate Together: Share your meal with loved ones and infuse your space with gratitude and love.

Remember:

Tradition is what you make of it. Whether you love black-eyed peas and collards or you’d rather feast on something else, the magic lies in your intention and the joy you pour into the moment. Make it your own.

This year, I’m embracing the freedom to create something new—something that feels like me. So here’s to delicious meals, abundant magic, and traditions that you can truly call your own. 🍽️🌙

What are your favorite ingredients for a New Year’s meal? Or something you do that’s different than the norm?
