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.

Parts used: pods, seeds

Gender: Masculine

Magical Properties Of Star Anise:

Star anise is perfect for increasing psychic connection, divine healing and protection, and increased success in lucky endeavors.

Mystically speaking, some of star anise’s magical properties include improving one’s telepathic abilities, providing divine healing and protection, and boosting one’s chances of having a successful undertaking.

Calm: Use an incense blend or essential oil containing this herb to help instill a sense of productive calm.

Good Luck: Tuck this star-shaped seed pod into a green pouch or orange pouch, visualize yourself being lucky, and carry it in your purse to bring good luck.

Protection: Carry it in your bag or inside of a mojo bag or sachet to ward off the evil eye. Make a garland out of the full seed pods and hang along your door.

How to use star anise in food and drinks:

Many people enjoy throwing some star anise pods into their coffee to enrich the beverage’s flavor and add some licorice-like undertones to it. A single pod can be used 2-3 times this way. You can also brew a star anise tea by putting 1-2 whole star anise pods in a cup, filling it with boiling water, and letting steep for about 10 minutes. Combine with cinnamon for extra spiciness!

In Chinese cooking, star anise is one of the main ingredients in the Chinese five spice powder (star anise, cumin, cinnamon, peppercorns and cloves), that is used for seasoning meat.

there's no question why i'm smiling

swiss/dewdrop (the band ghost)

explicit | m/m | 3.4k | blowjobs, teasing, banter, forced feminisation, light(-ish) dom/sub, allusions to primal play, semi-crack fic

snippet and ao3 link under the cut !!

“Are ya sure you can handle it, little Dewy?”

“Yes, I can handle it, Swissy. Fuck you.”

“Alright spitfire, if you insist…” Swiss shakes more spice powder onto the noodles, grinning like a maniac. Dewdrop on the other hand, has gone slightly pale. “Oh, doll, you don’t look too sure of yourself.”

“Hey, no, fuck you. I can do it. ” Dewdrop yanks the bowl and powder sachet out of Swiss’ hands and starts mixing the powder into the noodles furiously. It’s obvious the fire ghoul is trying not to stare into the red-black blend of chilli and spices Swiss had previously added into the bowl. Swiss is pretty sure the mixture is giving off its own heat at this point. It’s a game they’ve been playing for the best part of an hour. Dewdrop had walked into the kitchen to find Swiss mixing the flavourings for a bowl of instant noodles and mocked him for his low spice tolerance. Naturally, it had evolved from there.

- - -

“Is that all you’re adding in?” Dewdrop never could resist the urge to goad Swiss into challenges of his own design. “Kinda pathetic, honestly. I was expecting more from an impressive multi ghoul like you, Swiss. You’re always bragging about how well you handle… spice. ”

Swiss smirked down at the ghoul in front of him. “Oh no, doll. This is just the first packet. I usually add in at least three.”

“Only three? I can’t imagine that’d be very spicy.”

“You’re one to talk, spitfire. Don’t fire ghouls have shitty spice tolerances?”

“Well, yeah,” Dewdrop admitted, guiltily, “...but water ghouls don’t.”

Yeah, but you’re not a water ghoul anymore, dumbass. Is what Swiss wants to say. Instead he reigns himself in and goes with: “And that’s relevant because…?”

“Because I used to be one, dipshit.” Not anymore, dumbass. “Now hand over the chopsticks, I bet I won’t even be able to taste the spice.”

It had evolved even further from that point, passing the bowl back and forth with Dewdrop betting Swiss that the multi ghoul wouldn’t be able to handle adding more spice. At some point, a proper bet had been created. If Dewdrop won, Swiss had to obey his every whim for an entire day (within limits, and they’d both agree on a safeword if Swiss needed to tap out—although he suspected that all he’d be signing himself up for if he lost was a day of doing the fire ghoul’s long-neglected laundry). But if Swiss was victorious… Well. Swiss had promised that if he won, he would suck the fire ghoul off. Dewdrop looked gleeful, if a little confused, when Swiss proposed his side of the bet, clearly excited at the prospect of a win-win situation. But what the little ghoul failed to realise, Swiss noted, was that the multi ghoul would be sucking his dick after he’d eaten the excruciatingly spicy noodles. Swiss was sure he wouldn’t mind, Dewdrop had always been a masochist, anyway.

Which brings them back to the present moment and Dewdrop struggling through a mouthful of spice.

Headcanon that came while I was making myself tea for my cold (chuckling in mint ginger lemon honey cinnamon powder and tumeric powder in a mug and splashing on boiling water hoping it will produce a beverage):

Primo loves cooking. He's really the only capable chef in the whole group.

When he was in the future with Iliaster, they had food, sure, but those were like microwave meals. You just added in water. Nothing to add to it. Same for drinks, tea and coffee were literally just like single pods that you put water in. Primo would sometimes (when Jakob finally went out and left him in a few hours of rare blissful peace) look at like pre-invasion earth food and stuff on his phone, and would especially be in awe of like teas and stuff, like cosy food, made with all kinds of herbs and spices that no longer existed, and he'd scroll until he got too despondent over how they no longer had those simple things. Or when Lester caught a cold, Primo would know how to make home remedies but lack all the ingredients/ real ingredients.

Then one day he has to meet Yusei at Martha's because Yusei was borrowing one of his tech things and Yusei happened to go to Martha's as the kids were all sick to try help out. Primo came and saw Martha was struggling to keep up with making remedies as well as look after the really little ones who wouldn't stop crying, while Yusei, Crow, and Jack were trying to soothe the older kids and while Jack knew how to make remedies, he didn't have the right talent for it and was too slow and clumsy, and his remedies were entirely made to be practical and to cure, not to taste good, so the kids wouldn't drink. Primo offered to help so Crow led him to the kitchen and Primo just freaked out when he saw Martha's cupboards of everyday spices and herbs and the home made bread and jam and everything.

Crow was like "are you okay? It's just kitchen things", so Primo had to explain that in his time, these things were none existent. To him being able to use these simple everyday ingredients, to make food that tasted good and comforting and actually restored energy and mood, was something he had never expected to do. Even here, in this time, Jakob never bought them that kind of food. The kitchen just had sachet meals.

Primo set to work on the herbal teas and even got a soup going, and he was not only fast, a skill he learnt when he had been able to cook in the past with a few ingredients he'd smuggled into Iliaster and he had to be quick before Jakob returned, he was able to cook well. He found an old notebook with remedies written in them so he went with that. And he not only made the remedies, he took the time out to quickly ensured they tasted good enough to appeal to the kids.

Eventually Martha came in and she was extremely proud of him. She told him those recipes had been handed down in her family. They may have been classic but there was always her family's own spin on it, and when she was younger she had written them all down from her mother to preserve them. However, what with the city expanding and life speeding up, most people just abandoned the remedies in favour of quicker over the counter medication. She had tried to teach her boys, but Yusei and Crow can't cook, Jack can but he isn't fully interested. To see Primo actually put his heart into it made her very happy and she offered to teach him how to cook more types of food if he wanted.

Primo just started crying right there and then. Someone noticed what he did and that someone was an older person. He got validated by someone equal to a parental figure. He got treated with kindness. He got praised for being good at something he geniunely liked. He made someone else happy and he didn't have to put himself through extreme agony to do so.

Martha hugged him and after that he became her new favourite son after Jack. He asked her "aren't i too old for this?"

She told him "you are never told old to feel a parent's love and warmth. Especially if you never got it from your own parental figure. You aren't too old, you're too overdue for it."

[soupum]

pro tip for all the people out there who for whatever reason can't cook ""proper"" meals: despite what Big Pasta claims, you can in fact cook pasta in a microwave.

you're gonna want a microwave-safe bowl or pan of some kind that can hold twice the amount of water you actually need (so it doesn't boil over), and you'll want to use enough water to just cover whatever you're cooking (if you're cooking noodley pasta you will unfortunately have to betray the true italian doctrine and break those suckers in half or even thirds)

common wisdom seems to be to cook it for 2 minutes more than what the packaging says, but either because i own a 1100W microwave or i buy the 90c/$1 pasta, i find it's actually 4 minutes less than the packaging. ideally you're gonna want to stir every four or five minutes but dw if you can't, it just might clump together is all.

just some oil with little to no taste (ideally proper olive oil but that stuff is really expensive rn so i understand if you can't use it), some cheap powdered parmesan/dessicated cheese and whatever salts or spices you have laying around will be enough to make it taste good. obviously it's preferable that you have some kind of vegetable in there but if you can't get yourself to chop those or can't afford them just straight pasta will have enough carbs and protein to keep you going.

if you have tomato soup of some kind in sachet form, you can also add that for a quick and easy pasta sauce. if you can get your hands on them, basil and oregano will easily improve the taste dramatically.

hope someone finds this useful. stay safe and take care everyone <3

Some of my Favourite Herbs and Their Uses (Part I) - Deborah Blake (The Eclectic Witch's Book of Shadows)

Apples: Blossoms, fruit, and wood. Primarily used for love and healing magic, the wood makes a nice wand and the cider is a great "ale" for cakes and ale at the end of a ritual, especially one that takes place in autumn. Apples are particularly witchy because if you slice one crosswise, you will see the shape of a pentacle inside. For simple love magick, try baking an apple pie and adding cinnamon, which is associated with passion.

Basil: Leaves. Used for love, protection, prosperity, and (theoretically) exorcism. (I don’t have any experience with that last one, but you could certainly use it to try banishing negative emotions). Easily used in cooking, like my recipe for prosperity pesto, which I make with walnuts (fertility) instead of pine nuts. As a dried herb, basil also works well when added to sachets or magickal mixes.

Calendula: Flowers. Also known as marigold. Often used by herbalists for its healing properties but is also grown by many folks as an ornamental. In magick, it can be used for healing, love, and to boost physical abilities. I like to use dried flowers in healing sachets, although I also grow them in my garden just because they're pretty.

Catnip: Leaves, flowers. Love, happiness, beauty, sleep, calm, and connection with cats. While more often associated with felines than with humans, catnip (which is a member of the prolific mint family) has healing qualities for people as well. Magickally, you can use it in sachets for sleep, calm, and love, but be prepared to share them with your cats if you have any. It's also useful in cat magick, especially to find a familiar.

Chamomile: Flowers. Peace, sleep, love, prosperity, protection. This is one of my favorite herbs to use in sleep or calming sachets. It is also a traditional healing tea that can be used for either of those purposes, so you can bless and consecrate some chamomile on the night of a full moon and then drink it when you need it.

Cinnamon: Bark. Prosperity, success, passion, love, lust, healing, protection, power, psychic ability, spirituality. Who would have thought that the simple cinnamon in your cupboard would have so many magickal uses? Cinnamon is especially useful in love and prosperity mixtures and can easily be added to food. Actually a spice that comes from the inner bark of an evergreen tree, cinnamon is usually found in its powdered form, but I like to use cinnamon sticks in charm bags, magickal mixes, and even as a miniature wand to stir the Yule wassail.

Dill: Leaves, flowers, and seeds. Love, protection, prosperity. Magickal prosperity pickles? Sure, why not? Dill is a tall plant that is used for both its delicate-looking thin green leaves and then, later in the season, the flowering heads filled with seeds that are used to flavor pickles and other foods. It is easy to grow and can be used fresh or dried. For a boost of prosperity, I toss the fresh herb in my salads in early summer and add it to various magickal mixes later in the year in its dried form. 

Eucalyptus: Leaves. Healing and protection. Eucalyptus is a powerful healing herb, whether you are using dried leaves or essential oil. It has a strong, pungent odor and can be quite powerful, so it is best to use it in small amounts. The oil can be added to healing mixtures or the leaves placed in sachets or poppets intended for healing use. 

Garlic: Bulb. Healing, protection. As anyone who has ever eaten it knows, garlic is a strong-smelling herb that will chase away prospective dates and possibly vampires. But in magickal work, its protective properties will definitely work for your benefit. You can use whole cloves in protection sachets or powdered dry garlic in spell mixtures. (I don’t suggest putting those under your pillow, though.) It is also used for healing and can be added to food if you are doing kitchen witchery. Magickal chicken soup for a cold? You bet! Just remember to focus on its healing potential as you use it. 

Geranium: Flowers, leaves. Love, healing, protection. Geraniums are a pretty and easy-to-grow plant that comes in a range of colors, red and pink being the most common. The plants themselves can act as protection for the home, and the flowers can be picked and added to sachets or other magickal preparations. Rose geranium in particular has very pleasantly scented leaves and makes a lovely essential oil. (Note that geranium essential oil and rose geranium essential oil will have different scents; they are both useful for love and protection work, but rose geranium in particular is known for its calming and healing properties.) 

Ginger: Root. Power, energy, prosperity, success, love (especially the passionate type). Ginger is a fiery herb that lends its heat and power to any spell you use it in. It can be used in the powdered form in magickal mixtures, or pieces of the whole root can be sliced and added to food or charm bags. 

Lavender: Flowers. Love, sleep, happiness, purification, healing, peace. Lavender is a beautiful and strongly scented flower with many magickal uses. If you have a garden, it is lovely to cut fresh flowers and place them on your altar. For most, however, the dried version will have to do. My group often follows the traditional practice of tossing lavender into the Midsummer bonfire as a sacrifice to the Goddess. I also use the herb in sachets for healing and peace and tuck one under my pillow to help me sleep. It makes wonderful incense, and the essential oil is easy to use in magick baths or sprays. 

Lemon: Juice, peel. Purification, cleansing, love, energy. All the citruses (specifically lemon, orange, and grapefruit) have similar magickal properties, but lemon in particular is good for any purification or cleansing work. Add a few drops to your mop water for a magickal boost to your housework, especially if you are doing spring cleaning. The dried peel can be added to sachets and charm bags for love or purification, and the essential oil is perfect for room sprays that are intended to purify your space and boost your energy. 

Lemon Balm: Leaves. Healing, happiness, calm, love. Lemon balm is a member of the mint family and will grow prolifically in a garden. It is known for its ability to attract bees and is sacred to Artemis and Diana. Lemon balm can be made into a magickal tea to boost the mood or calm a troubled spirit, and the leaves or essential oil are particularly helpful in spell mixtures to deal with sleep, anxiety, or depression. 

Mugwort: Leaves. Psychic powers, protection, divination, dreaming, and astral projection. Mugwort’s most common use is in a dream sachet, which, when tucked under one’s pillow, is said to aid in prophetic dreaming. It is also used in incense and drunk in teas to boost the user’s power of divination. While not as dangerous as the hallucinogenic herbs employed by earlier witches, some people can find mugwort overwhelming, and it should be used with caution if you have no previous experience with it. 

Parsley: Leaves. Protection and purification. Parsley isn’t considered to be one of the more powerful magickal herbs, but I like it because it is so easy to add to foods if you are doing kitchen witchery. If you are already making a dish with the magickal intent of protection or purification, why not toss in a little parsley for a magickal boost?

I might try to make this one! I feel like this is a cake Jack Sparrow would eat with a glaze of rum ;)

The notes say this is a good birthday, father's day or holiday cake.

A Pirates Last Birthday Recipe (1959)

1 cup of milk

1/2 cup shortening

2 cups all-purpose flour

3 1/2 tsp baking powder

1tsp salt

1 1/2 cups white sugar

3 eggs

1 cup milk

1/4 cup of spiced rum

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp almond extract

1 box of vanilla pudding mix

1 sachet of pecans

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a bundt cake pan or any cake pan that you would like to use. Next you want to ground up enough pecans to cover the bottom of the pan but not to full.

Combine the dry ingredients first. To a bowl, amix the flour, salt and baking powder together. In a second bowl, beat sugar and shortening together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add flour mixture and vanilla pudding mix powder with milk. Beat until just combined. Gently stir in the spiced rum and extracts. Pour the cake batter into the pan and let it cook for 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

OPTIONAL: After it cools, drizzle icing glaze on top.

OPTIONAL: Serve with ice cream.

Banana bread with blackberries and dates

A little kitchen witch magic for you all, I bake all the time so decided that I'll share some recipes once in a while on here too! This banana bread is perfect for (late) Lughnasadh celebrations, or just when you are in the mood to bake.

Witchy touches during baking;

Add the herbs or spices with intention! For example cinnamon for warmth and prosperity, nutmeg for protection and vanilla for love (while you add these spices, stir clockwise and say their magical properties aloud or in your head)

When pouring the cake batter in the baking mold, draw a sigil or rune of choice with intention.

Share the magic with loved ones or with yourself!

Banana bread recipe

240g flour (of choice)

15g baking powder

pinch of soda

1 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg powder

Few drops of vanilla/ 1 sachet vanilla sugar

5 dates (pit removed)

2 bananas

2 eggs

50g butter (of choice, can also be oil)

Handful blackberries

Preheat the oven to 210 degrees.

Mix dry ingredients together.

Blend the bananas, eggs and dates in a blender until smooth and add to the dry ingredients.

Mix this together, and add a handful of blackberries. Mash them a bit and fold through the batter.

Grease a cake mold, or cupcake mold with some butter and put the cake batter into the baking mold.

(Optional) You can also add walnuts, almonds whatever kind of nut you’d like.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, check with a skewer (if it comes out dry, the cake is done!)
