Hex-Breaking Cookies 🍪✨

Hello darlings 🥰

As I’m always preaching how budget-friendly and even mundane witchcraft can be, I thought I’d share a way to incorporate hex-breaking in a simple cookie recipe!

Ingredients:

🍪 1 cup of flour (symbolizing stability)

🍪 1/2 cup of sugar (representing the power of sweetness)

🍪 1/2 cup of butter (symbolizing protection and strength)

🍪 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (for purification and cleansing)

🍪 Pinch of salt (to remove negativity)

🍪 Optional: Additional herbs or spices associated with protection, such as rosemary or cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to a temperature of 350°F (175°C), symbolizing transformation and renewal.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and any additional protective herbs or spices you wish to add. As you mix, visualize the hex or negative energy being broken and dissipating.

3. Melt the butter and add it to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture while focusing on imbuing the cookies with protective energy.

4. Add the vanilla extract to the mixture, envisioning it as a purifying and cleansing agent that banishes the hex's influence.

5. Continue to mix until all the ingredients are well combined, forming a smooth dough.

6. Take small portions of the dough and shape them into cookie rounds. As you shape each cookie, visualize the hex shattering and disappearing.

7. Place the cookies on a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven. While they bake, imagine the heat transforming and neutralizing any lingering negative energy.

8. Bake the cookies for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until they turn golden brown, representing the energy of positivity and light.

9. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool. As they cool, envision the protective energy infusing every bite.

10. Enjoy the cookies, savoring each one mindfully. With each bite, affirm that the hex is broken and that you are now free from its influence.

The power of this spell lies in your intention and focus. By consuming these hex-breaking cookies, you symbolically consume the energy of protection and liberation, allowing the hex's power to be broken and neutralized. Feel free to alter based on your intention and preferences and may this spell bring you the freedom and release you seek ✨

What's a book you've read that's set in your city/state/area?

It's not often I read books I'm actually interested in that are set in my state. I can think of maybe three in recent years off the top of my head: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Ander & Santi Were Here, and this one—The Heartbreak Bakery.

The Heartbreak Bakery was a book that had been consistently recommended by @rainbowcrate and when I saw a copy in my favorite used bookstore, I had to snag it. It's different than what I was expecting. The magic is subtle, the friendships are fantastic (Syd and Harley are such a good duo!), queer rep off the charts (both sexual and gender identities), and it's such a good time! There are recipes sprinkled throughout as chapter breaks—some you can actually bake up and some are recipes for a good day, etc.

Highly HIGHLY recommend picking up your favorite baked good and a copy of The Heartbreak Bakery!

Prompt 134

One of the young justice members is complaining about how their parents or mentors benched them after getting injured. 

And Marvel snorting and saying that that reminds him of Phantom. And of course, the YJ crew, ask who that is. 

“Oh Phantoms my big brother, pops never really understood our human halves or limits so…” and he just shrugs like he didn’t just drop Lore. And the teens smell blood in the water, they want to know more.

In the wake of FCG' fate I've been thinking about death in ttrpgs, and how it kind of exists on three levels:

There’s the gameplay level, where it only makes sense for a combat-heavy, pc-based game to have a tool for resurrection because the characters are going to die a lot and players get attached to them and their plotlines.

Then there’s the narrative level, where you sort of need permanent death on occasion so as not to lose all tension and realism. On this level, sometimes the player will let their character remain dead because they find it more interesting despite there being options of resurrection, or maybe the dice simply won’t allow the resurrection to succeed.

Then, of course, there’s the in-universe level, which is the one that really twists my mind. This is a world where actual resurrection of the actual dead is entirely obtainable, often without any ill effects (I mean, they'll be traumatized, but unless you ask a necromancer to do the resurrection they won’t come back as a zombie or vampire or otherwise wrong). It’s so normal that many adventurers will have gone through it multiple times. Like, imagine actually living in a world where all that keeps you from getting a missing loved one back is the funds to buy a diamond and hire a cleric. As viewers we felt that of course Pike should bring Laudna, a complete stranger, back when asked, but how often does she get this question? How many parents have come and begged her to return their child to them? How many lovers lost but still within reach? When and how does she decide who she saves and who she doesn’t?

From this perspective, I feel like every other adventurer should have the motive/backstory of 'I lost a loved one and am working to obtain the level of power/wealth to get them back'. But of course this is a game, and resurrection is just a game mechanic meant to be practically useful.

Anyway. A story-based actual play kind of has to find a way to balance these three levels. From a narrative perspective letting FCG remain dead makes sense, respects their sacrifice, and ends their arc on a highlight. From a gameplay level it is possible to bring them back but a lot more complicated than a simple revivify. But on an in-universe level, when do you decide if you should let someone remain dead or not? Is the party selfish if they don’t choose to pursue his resurrection the way they did for Laudna? Do they even know, as characters, that it’s technically possible to save someone who's been blown to smithereens? Back in campaign 2, the moment the m9 gained access to higher level resurrection they went to get Molly back (and only failed because his body had been taken back by Lucien). At the end of c1, half the party were in denial about Vax and still looking for ways to save him, because they had always been able to before (and had the game continued longer it wouldn’t have surprised me had they found a way). Deanna was brought back decades after her death (and was kind of fucked up because of it). Bringing someone back could be saving them, showing them just how loved and appreciated they are. Or it could be saving you, forcing someone back from rest and peace into a world that's kept moving without them because you can’t handle the guilt of knowing you let them stay gone when you didn’t have to. How do you know? How would you ever know?

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.
