[ID: a photo of a watercolor done on handmade, textured paper. The watercolor is of three floating loaves of bread, with gold sparkles drawn around them. A Black hand floats above the hands, as if dropping the loaves, and a white hand with a pink scar on the palm floats below, as if to catch them. end ID]

Bread Witch taglist is currently empty! Ask to be added/removed.

Maeve Fletcher is nothing if not a dedicated village witch.

When her villagers pine for their lovers, she makes them iced buns for love. When they start a farm, she makes them rye loaves for bounty. When they set off on a journey, she makes them sourdough for luck. So, when a traveling prince named Quentin asks for his fortune told through bread, she sets to baking. After all, the prince’s gold will keep her people fed through winter, and she is nothing if not a dedicated village witch.

But when Maeve’s loaf predicts danger and uncertainty for the prince’s diplomatic mission, Quentin panics and conscripts her into his retinue. He promises that if she tells his fortune every day, her village will see riches beyond their wildest dreams. Maeve agrees and finds herself traveling with a menagerie of oddballs—a dramatic prince obsessed with bad poetry, a kleptomaniac chef obsessed with spice, and a beautiful lady knight obsessed with annoying her. To make matters worse, the prince assigns the knight, Andi, to guard Maeve while she tells his precious fortunes.

After all the quirky couplets, ghost peppers, and spats with Andi, Maeve is ready to throw in the dishtowel and haul her sourdough starter back to her village. But right as she prepares to leave, Prince Quentin is kidnapped by bandits eager for a ransom. When Maeve and Andi realize Quentin’s family won’t pay the ransom, it’s up to them to save the prince before his mission is ruined—or before the bandits kill him mid-sonnet. Along the journey, the women uncover layers of mystery in magic, their pasts, and their potential future together.

A Fun Little Story With Witches and Baking

A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher is such a cute, easy and cosy autumnal read perfect for young readers and old.

What is there to hate? It’s a simple story with simple plot progression and…

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!)

LUGHNASADH SWEET CORNBREAD

Unlike regular cornbread, this is a more southern-style cornbread that's a lot sweeter than cornbread. But really good!

Ingredients:

1 cup flour

1 cup cornmeal

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 large eggs

A splash of cream

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

Pinch of sea salt

For The Honey Butter:

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup butter

Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. In a separate bowl mix butter, sugar, and honey together. Then, whisk in your eggs, cream, and buttermilk.

Pour dry ingredients in increments to wet ingredients until just combined making sure not to overmix. Pour into a buttered and floured baking dish.

Bake for about 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick/knife comes out clean when stuck in the middle. This was just will my oven so cook times could be different when it comes to you. Make sure after 30 minutes, you check every 10 minutes.

To make your honey butter just combine your melted butter with honey and mix.

Serve in squares and top with honey butter and a tab of salted butter on top.

Enjoy! Have a blessed Lughnasadh!

I saw the post this morning reminding me about sweet fat of the hog Tuesday. And given I'd been thinking of it since last week because husband mentioned Polish Fat Thursday and donuts, and given that I'm too depressed to function more than sporadically right now, I jumped on the impulse to Bake

Cheesy garlicky kefir dough dumplings and veggie slow cooker stew

Packzy (I didn't have a piping bag that could do the job, so the jam just got spooned)

Happy sweet fat of the hog Tuesday, whatever else you're celebrating!

It just hits different when you’ve made your own bread, apple butter, and strawberry rhubarb jam 🥣

I know I won’t be able to work on it in earnest until I get through more of The Spirit Well and the next Rival Most Vial book, buttt…does anyone want to hear about my f/f cozy fantasy romance about a bread witch, a reckless knight, and a hypochondriac ace prince who recites poetry?

A friend said I haven’t been baking enough lately so he brought me a sourdough starter with lore, it’s been going since the 1940s!

Warm color studies! 1. The window of a river rock cottage ignited within by warm light, but outdoors bathed in the cool, silvery light of a full moon & dressed up with climbing flowers. 2. A trio of cumulous clouds are illuminated by a break in the storm & scatter delicate beads of rain onto the rolling hills of a valley. 3. A hot loaf of delicious sourdough straight out of the oven. 4. A tempting pair of sweet, juicy cherries.
