⛤Kitchen Witchcraft-Plants and Dolls⛤

Plants played an important role in many traditions and were used for rituals of luck, protection and achieving certain goals. 

Ancient sorcerers and alchemists believed that if the laws of nature were respected and followed, plants would reveal all their medicinal properties to them in order to heal the body's diseases.

Marigold has long been known as a flower of protection and a flower that knows how to keep secrets. It is believed that it will neutralize unwanted influences if it is placed in a window.

Hawthorn is known for its ability to ward off evil forces and enhance material progress. But there is also a belief that says that a hawthorn tree must not be destroyed, because otherwise a curse will fall on that person's family.

Witch hazel is one of the most used in love magic. A person who cannot find a partner should carry with him one head of witch hazel. If there is a doubt that there are negative influences in the house, this grass should be sprinkled in all corners of the rooms.

Verbena is known for its ability to protect women's beauty. It is used in rituals when love is unrequited and for success in court cases.

Nettle neutralizes negative influences. It is used in rituals to encourage courage, protect the home and purify it.

Lavender belongs to one of the most popular plants for defense against evil. It is used in magical beauty baths and love spells.

Sage has many medicinal properties. It is believed that being placed under the pillow brings prophetic dreams.

Wormwood is a very powerful plant that is used a lot in magical rituals. There is a belief that a person will be protected on a trip if he carries dry wormwood leaves with them.

⛤Simple Doll Magic

There are many techniques with which we can strengthen our energy or contribute to the realization of certain intentions. 

For this purpose, certain plants are placed in a cloth doll, which is most often made with the aim of healing, but also to attract love or financial progress. 

These dolls were used several thousand years ago, they were made of various medicinal plants and cloth. 

They symbolically represent a person through whose help improvement occurs. 

Making this doll is very simple. 

The outline of a human figure should be drawn on the material of the appropriate color, then cut, hemmed and filled with plants that have a suitable purpose. 

For example, rosemary is used for better concentration, thyme is used to boost mood, and fresh nettle leaves are used to recover from illness.

New Moon: I'm in the dark magical place where you end a journey and start a new one. A journey older than time and yet happening for the first time once again.As I rest and replenish my energy in the darkness, I'm the Mistress of mysteries.

⛤HISTORY OF SAMHAIN/HALLOWEEN⛤

This custom has its origins in the pagan Celtic peoples of Ireland, Britain and northern France. 

Since they believed that life is born from death, they used the end of autumn to mark the beginning of their new year, the period when nature dies, because its death, according to their belief, represents the time of darkness, decay and death. 

On that day, the fire on the home hearths was extinguished and darkness reigned everywhere.

On the last evening of the autumn harvest, nature changes, and the sunny and warm summer gives way to the dark and cold winter, and the fertile land becomes barren. 

The Celts believed that night to be magical and apparently attached great importance to it.

In modern times, Samhain is usually celebrated from October 31 to November 1 to welcome in the harvest and usher in "the dark half of the year".

Celebrants believe that the barriers between the physical world and the spirit world are broken during Samhain, allowing for greater interaction between humans and the inhabitants of the Other World.

As this holiday was really popular, many religions, as Christianity, turned away from its true meaning. 

⛤ANCIENT SAMHAIN⛤

The ancient Celts marked Samhain as the most significant of the four quarterly fire festivals, which take place at the midpoint between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice. 

During this time of year, hearth fires in family homes were allowed to burn during harvest.

At the end of the gathering work, the celebrants joined the druid priests to light a community fire using a wheel that would cause friction and sparks. 

The wheel was considered a representation of the sun and used in conjunction with prayers. Cattle were sacrificed and participants brought a flame from the communal bonfire to their home to rekindle the hearth.

Early texts present Samhain as an obligatory three-day and three-night celebration in which the community was to perform to local kings or chieftains. 

Failure to attend is believed to result in punishment from the gods, usually illness or death.

There was also a military aspect to Samhain in Ireland, with festive thrones prepared for soldier commanders. 

Anyone who committed a crime or used their weapons during the celebration faced a death sentence.

Some documents mention six days of drinking excess alcohol, typically mead or beer, along with gluttonous feasts.

⛤SAMHAIN IN THE MIDDLE AGES⛤

As the Middle Ages progressed, so did the celebrations of the fire festivals. 

Bonfires known as Samghnagans, which were Samhain's more personal fires near the farms, became a tradition, presumably to protect families from fairies and witches.

Carved turnips called jack-o-lanterns began to appear, attached by strings to sticks and set with charcoal. Later the Irish tradition passed to pumpkins.

In Wales, men threw firewood at each other in violent games and lit fireworks.

⛤WICCA AND SAMHAIN⛤

A broad revival of Samhain resembling its traditional pagan form began in the 1980s with the growing popularity of Wicca.

The Samhain Wicca celebration takes many forms, from traditional fire ceremonies to celebrations that embrace many aspects of modern Halloween, as well as activities related to honoring nature or ancestors.

Wiccans view Samhain as the passing of the year and incorporate common Wiccan traditions into the celebration.

In the Druid tradition, Samhain celebrates the dead with a festival on October 31 and usually features a bonfire and communion with the dead. 

American pagans often hold music and dance celebrations called Witches' Balls near Samhain.

Pagans who embrace Celtic traditions with the intent of faithfully reintroducing them into modern paganism are called Celtic reconstructors.

In this tradition, Samhain is called Oiche Shamhna and celebrates the mating between the gods Tuatha de Danann Dagda and the river Unis. 

Celtic reconstructors celebrate by placing juniper decorations around their homes and creating an altar for the dead where a feast is held in honor of the deceased.

Samhain is the dark Moon - the time of death, letting go, completion, binding of free ends, retreat and regeneration.

Samhain is a time when the veil between worlds is thin which makes the next 12 days super powerful when it comes to intuition, psychic impressions, dreams, prophecy, mysticism and spirituality.

It's a great time to relax by a fire or light a few candles and listen to your inner self.It's also a great time to use astrology, tarot cards, runes, dreams and more to mirror the truth.

The depths are calling us.

We are asked to truly feel our emotions, dance with our shadows, face our fears and obsessions, and face the places in our life where we manipulate or control or allow others to manipulate and control us.

⛤HALLOWEEN IN ORTHODOXY⛤

When these people accepted Christianity, the holiday of All Saints was established, which was celebrated on November 1 precisely to eradicate this occult custom.

On the night before this holiday, an all-night vigil was held. 

However, under the pressure of globalization and Western influence, as well as the influence of different religions and cults, the night before the Christian holiday became the night of witches, witchcraft, summoning evil spirits and demons.

The word "Halloween" comes from the expression "All-Hallows-Evening", which means "the evening before the church holiday of All Saints".

In Orthodoxy, Saint Luke, the creator of one of the Gospels, is celebrated on October 31. 

It is believed that this doctor and patron of artists painted the first icons of Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and the apostles Peter and Paul.

The tradition of celebrating Halloween was brought to North America by Irish immigrants in the 19th century. 

Witchfully Yours,

[0witchy-bitch3]

Had my first proper Cotswold forage today on a bike ride from Cheltenham to Belas Knap Long Barrow. Agaricus campestris, or field mushrooms, growing as the name suggests, in a field just off the Cotswold way. Cooked them into a creamy tofu, cashew sauce and baby spinach that I had with quinoa for dinner. The freshness of the flavours was unreal! 🍄💕
