🍎🌾Stuffed Apples for Mabon🌾🍎

Happy Mabon my greenies! I’m so happy to bring this recipe for you to enjoy during this festive time. Like all my recipes, these can be used with or without a chant, you can create your own, or if you’re not a practitioner. I want to bring joy and comfort for this time of year. This is a recipe I used last year and decided to post it for y’all. I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

5 Apples (I use honeycrisp)

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp lemon juice

2 tbsp granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch of sea salt

Pinch ground nutmeg

Dash of vanilla

For Topping

¼ cup all purpose flour

¼ cup brown sugar

¼ cup old fashioned oats

¼ tsp baking powder

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch sea salt

3 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions

First cut off the tops of the apples and core them. Make sure you spoon out the insides and save them. (Also save all peels to use as offerings or compost) Use the inside of the apple and cut into small ¼ inch chunks.

Mix together the apple chunks, cornstarch, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and vanilla. Put into the apple and make sure you leave a little space for the crumble topping. While mixing these ingredients, think on all you’re thankful for and fill the apples with love and hope.

Cut up the butter into little pieces and put some inside the apple. Then mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and place on top of the apple. While mixing, you can say the chant below or your own. Use the rest of the butter to sprinkle on top of the apples.

Preheat ovan at 375 degrees F and place apples onto a covered baking sheet. Cover the tops of the apples with foil and bake for 15 min and the uncover and bake for 20. Wait at least 10 minutes before eating and enjoy with some ice cream.

Chant: While fog may cast in front of my eyes, the breeze of fall trails with browning leaves. A warm hand on my back and wisp of hair, let my future shine. Let my love rejoice and my mind rest with ease. My life, my hope, my dream.

Once again my lovelies, happy Mabon to you and your loved ones. I hope that with the shifting of seasons, brings change to our society.

With all my love, 

Kenzie

It makes me so happy that you liked my recipe! Happy Litha!!! Thank you for sharing pictures! ☺️💕✨

🌿🍊Litha Orange Honey Cake🍊🌿

Hello my greenies! Happy Litha! I hope you’re all enjoying the summer sun and nature. Even during quarantine, if you’re able to take a walk in nature without contact with others, I highly recommend doing so. If you’re unable to go outside, I recommend taking the time to bake and maybe listen to some nature sounds on youtube. Those have helped me during these times. I wish you all the best with this yummy cake! I hope you all like this recipe:)

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour

½ cup softened unsalted butter

2 eggs

1 ½ tsp. baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ cup milk

½ tsp salt

¼ cup brown sugar

2 tbsp fresh orange juice

2/3 cup honey

1 tbsp vanilla extract

around a tbsp of orange zest

Optional Glaze

½ cup honey

¼ cup brown sugar

some lemon juice

juice of 4th of orange

couple pats of ground cinnamon

dash of vanilla

½ cup (maybe.. I never measure this out)sliced almonds

Mix until syrup state.

Directions

Preheat Oven for 350°F and coat pan with non-stick or other alternative. I honestly don’t know what size my pan is…so I’d say eyeball it and see how much you can fit? Lol

In medium bowl, mix dry ingredients (including the orange zest). Set that to the side while you mix the other ingredients in a larger bowl.  

Sift the dry ingredients into the bowl with the other ingredients in batches. So, sift a little in and mix then repeat that until all the dry ingredients are mixed in.

Pour the mixture into the pan and cook for about 28 to 35 minutes. Check with a long toothpick:3 After you take out you can pour over an optional syrup that I think is amazing!

There’s no particular chant I do for this recipe, I mostly just pray for the sun and for the health of those I care for. I like to visualize the sun and its heat and color wrapping me in an embrace and that same warmth infusing the cake.

I hope you call have a lovely Litha and special time with those you love a care for.

crystals every witch should have

every crystal has a vibration and an affect on a person. certain crystals prevent negative energies, whereas others attract love. these these are the top 5 crystals every witch should own. (in my opinion)

🌙rose quartz rose quartz is a very beautiful stone, a crystal of unconditional love. it represents tenderness, healing, nourishment, and comfort. i suggest using this crystal in any love spell.

🌙selenite selenite can evoke an immense amount of protection from foreign realms. It is an extremely spiritual stone, as it dispels negative energy. selenite is a crystallized form of gypsum. it can clear, open, and activate the crown and higher chakras, making it excellent for all types of spiritual work.

🌙citrine citrine is a yellow/orange variety of quartz. it is a powerful gem, as it is well known for it’s cleansing abilities. it can be used to cleanse you, your magickal tools, and other crystals. it can also diffuse a situation or disturbance in your home, such as nightmares.

🌙amethyst amethyst is a light to dark purple variety of quartz. it helps deepen meditation, improves psychic ability, and aids in the remembrance of dreams. wearing the crystal, placing it on your pillow, nightstand, or altar will produce the greatest effect. it is a good offering to any gods or goddesses you believe in.

🌙moonstone ruled by the moon, this milky white in color crystal aids in dream recall and increases intuition. it calms emotions, like rose quartz, and benefits health. like the moon in the sky, it seems to illuminate.

i believe that crystals choose you. in whatever time you need them most, their vibrations will draw you to them. if you are going to buy a crystal or start a collection, i’d suggest going to your local crystal shop to buy them, unless you know exactly what you want. enjoy your crystal collecting!

love,     mikey♡

🍂❄️Reminder: It’s that time of year!❄️🍂

Don’t forget that the earth is presenting us with a lot of ingredients for spellwork. Collecting things that fall off trees because of the changing seasons is extremely important and just fun.

Some things to remember.

Wear proper protection when harvesting. (gloves are your friend)

Bring sustainable containers.

Don’t forget offerings. - Fruit & Veggie peels work great. Also old tea leaves.

Don’t rip things off. Since there’s so much already on the ground, it can be considered rude to take what’s not offered.

Knowing how to harvest is an important skill when working with witchcraft. If you’re a baby witch or just don’t have as much knowledge regarding harvesting. Make sure you do your research before diving in.

Happy hunting!

Its Halloween🎃

[gardenfoxywitch]

🌿🎃Samhain Pumpkin Seed Banishing Spell🎃🌿

Hello my greenies! Happy Samhain! This is a wonderful holiday for us witches and I’m so excited to share this lovely treat that I snack on throughout the season. Its a family tradition to cook pumpkin seeds and eat them on halloween and I’ve turned it into a witchy tradition of mine as well. I hope you all enjoy the recipe and have a wonderful holiday!

These seeds are to help banish bad omens and negativity around you. This could be from spirits, people, or yourself. Either way, these seeds will help strengthen your core and grow inside you.

***there aren’t going to be exact measurements because it depends on how many pumpkin seeds you have, but don’t worry because you’ll be able to judge it by site.

Ingredients

pumpkin seeds

large bowl

baking sheet

around 2 tbsp butter

salt

black pepper

butter

garlic powder

Directions

Place the seeds in a bowl and rinse them with warm water. Pick off any excess pumpkin attached to the seeds and drain the water.

Place the seeds on a paper towel, baking sheet, or any space and pat them dry and then leave them out for about 15 min.

Preheat ovan for 350 degrees f

Place them in a bowl and place around 2 tbsp of butter (it might need more bc of the size, but just make sure all the seeds are coated nicely in butter.

Give a couple swirls of salt, until they’re fully covered. Then lightly dust the seeds with garlic powder and a few pinches of pepper.

Make sure you mix thuroghitly so that all the seeds are evenly covered. While you mix say the chant at the end of the post, or use your own, and focus a orange red color onto the seeds. Give them a powerful color or one you associate with strength, and fuel it with the desire to no longer be controlled by a suffocating shadow.

Place on a baking sheet and make sure they’re evenly spread out. Place the sheet in the oven and cook for around 15 min. Keep an eye on it and wait until they’re golden. My seeds always like to cook through different times, so make sure you’re paying attention to them.

Once done, take them out and wait for them to cool down. Then enjoy:)

Chant:

I am more than what you make me. Let these seeds grow, let them root in my depths and rip away the weight of this shadow latched to me. Banish harmful words, harmful people, and let me be reborn.  

I hope you all have a wonderful Samhain and wish you all the best. I hope we can overcome these struggles together and let this beautiful time of year rejuvenate our souls.

- Kenzie

p.s. I will be getting to all the trick or treats as fast as I can. There are quite a lot of them, but don’t worry! I will be getting to all of them. This is the last day to ask and any after October 31st will not be counted (just because there are a lot for me to do.)

Love you all!

Ward Types and Components

For the purpose of this article, “ward” is defined as: a wall of energy with a purpose. These are different types of protective wards and components. 

Anti-Detection: Prevents you/your area from being sensed by hostile forces in the first place. 

Reflection Ward: Repels any outside magical attacks.

Wall Ward: Simply prevents entry/provides a barrier, just like a regular physical wall does. 

Offensive Ward: Damages the intruder upon entry/touch. 

Redirect portal: Entering this ward will teleport the intruder to another place. 

Illusion Wards: Mess up the intruder’s senses in some way. Can make the ward much thicker than it seems to be, or even cast the illusion of being somewhere else. 

Binding Wards: Condense into a binding that will limit the intruder’s ability in some way. 

Minor Hex/Debuff: Cast a curse on the intruder. This can be temporary, wearing off as soon as the intruder leaves or a short time afterwards, or permanent (as can be). 

Sensor:  This component senses anything and feeds that information to the other wards/to other security systems in place. 

Warnings: A ward component whose only purpose is to warn the intruder. This component contains a prerecorded message. Usually of impending doom if the intruder proceeds. 

Energy Drainer: A component that drains the energy of the intruder, so as to tire them out. Can also be used to redirect hostile energies elsewhere, where it cannot harm you. 

The more detailed and aggressive portions, and the portion on recommended ward layers, have been cut out for the safety of the community. To see the complete version of this and other articles on advanced magic, please join my Patreon here.
