(my favorite recipe posts I've made over the years, plus backstories that sound like your grandmother's reminiscing over the past.)

LATE WINTER BUTTER ROLLS

My first post I ever made. I was pretty new to the tumblr community at the time. I loved kitchen witchcraft, and I'm the type of person who will ramble on about how much I love cooking and baking. This blog gave me an outlet to express my love of cooking, baking, paganism, and witcraft. And these rolls are very tasty, I make them to this day!

WITCHY TOMATO BASIL SOUP

Tasty, simple, and a crowd-pleaser. It's perfect for a beginner kitchen witch! It was also the second recipe I ever posted.

SWEET CREAM BUNS

It was a recipe given to me by one of my good friends at the time. Every time I make it, it gets devoured in less than 10 minutes. It was also my first recipe to get over 50 notes. I was shocked but ecstatic that so many people would even give it the time of day lol.

WITCHY THUMBPRINT COOKIES

These ones were just fun to make and delicious lol.

A WITCH’S COZY BUTTERNUT WINTER SOUP

A quick soup that feeds a lot of people during the fall season. Fall is my favorite season, so of course I'm very biased lol.

SAMHAIN PUMPKIN BREAD

I love pumpkin bread and apple cider... So why not combine the two? This one was definitely one of my favorites of all time. Moist pumpkin bread and chocolate chips have to be one of my favorite things on this planet. It also makes for the perfect gift for friends and family. Yummy!

ANGEL’S AWARD-WINNING LEMON POPPY SEED BREAD

I love dessert loaves of any kind, so naturally, this would be on the list lol.

MAPLE BUTTER COOKIES

Super simple comfort food! I love any time of cookie with brown sugar.

BRING ME POSITIVITY PECAN FRENCH TOAST BAKE

I love French toast, and I love positivity~

SAMHAIN SOUL CAKES RECIPE

These are really good! And traditional. If you celebrate Samhain, I recommend you make some soul cakes and have friends and family help decorate. I give the littles a bag of orange frosting and let them go crazy lol.

FEEL BETTER CHICKEN SOUP

One of my most recent is my witchy twist on chicken noodle soup!

Blossom & Thorn Spread 🛣️

The blossom: What should I allow to blossom?

The thorn: How can I better protect myself in the process?

The sap: Why does it need to blossom?

The blood: Why do I need to be protected?

I have greatly enjoyed designing and using this spread. I hope you do, too.

Witchcraft in College

So, with college starting up for me in just a few weeks, I wanted to compile a list of the ways I plan to continue my practice during the ever-hectic time of college. A lot of these techniques are great also for witches who don't know how their roommates will feel about witchcraft and may want to keep it more on the DL

🧘‍♀️Meditation & Journaling 🧘‍♀️ I'm incorporating meditation and journaling into my daily routine - they are scheduled in specifically so I don't let myself slack on the good habits I've built during summer. Meditation is incredibly helpful to tap into your intuition and inner power, as is journaling

🪐 Tarot Readings 🪐 I'm bringing one or two of my favorite decks to college to have with me. Tarot is great because the decks are highly portable, and you can store them away in a drawer or use them as decor

🌙 Crystals 🌙 When I moved to college, I didn't know what my roommates would think of me bringing crystals to put around the room, but I got really lucky bc they were totally fine with it! If you're going incognito for the semester, just saying that the crystals are pretty and not diving into explanation can be a good way to keep your true intention with them hidden (if that's what you feel you need to do). Crystals can be used in rituals or meditation as well

🪴 Herbs 🪴 One of my favorite quick meals you can make in a dorm is oatmeal. I top mine with fruit, usually apples or bananas which just HAPPEN to go great with cinnamon! Cinnamon is my go-to herb, not only for its magical properties but also bc it is super versatile and yummy! I top my oatmeal with it and put it on top of my hot chocolate/coffee in the colder months. 10/10 herb. If your living situation allows you to cook more than mine does (I have a mini fridge and a microwave) then you have even more opportunity for using herbs in your magic!

💫 Spell Jars 💫 This is something you can do in advance - make some spell jars to bring with you! Again, the excuse can be that they're pretty if you don't want to get in the magical side to them. Plus they are small and transportable, which is great when traveling and living in a small space with others

🕯 Candles/Herbal Cleansing 🕯 Just be careful of the smoke detectors!

- - -

With college witchcraft, a lot of time less is more! You're moving into a small, shared space, so condensing your practice so you can do the most magic with the least amount of physical supplies is key!

Question: I have a candle from an ex I ended on bad terms with, however it’s pink and I only lit it once. Can I use it for self love purposes or will the energy be fucked bc of my ex?

I think it really depends on your intention for the self-love spell. Is part of your healing/self-love journey dealing with trauma surrounding your ex? Then it could be very powerful to use a candle they gave you to seal the jar.

If you’re going to do that, definitely take a little extra time channeling your energy towards the candle focused on how strong you’ve become without them and how much stronger you’re going to get. Focus on purifying the candle with some form of herbal cleansing or simply with your intention. Wipe away any negative energies associated with the person, and instead focus on the raw energy of the pink candle, and how you are going to channel its warmth to love yourself fully. It can be extremely powerful to take back something that is yours, energetically or otherwise.

If after doing all of this, the energy feels wrong, I would purchase a new candle. You can get a bunch of different colored spell candles online for not too expensive. Otherwise, go for it! Remember, when you cast this spell, it becomes yours and yours alone. You know best if using this candle will be beneficial.

Hope this helps and good luck on your journey! <3
