#hearth witch
In today’s busy world, it can be hard to have 5 minutes to yourself to cleanse and ground your energies, but fear not – the shower can be a great place to do this.
When you are underneath the water, you can envision it cleansing you and washing all the negativity from you down the drain. The water can be incredibly refreshing and grounding too. Taking a few minutes to close your eyes and stand under the soothing water and calm your mind and breathing can be really good for you - spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally.
If the shower uses rainwater, you’ll receive its rejuvenating, protective, inspiring, creativity-boosting - maybe that’s why we have great ideas in the shower ;D - and cleansing energies.
If you’re using town water like me, don’t worry about the water being ‘impure’ or ‘not as natural and spiritually cleansing as rain.’ I like to think of town water as a symbol of unity. After all, hundreds or possibly thousands of people in your town / city use it for everything from cooking and drinking to watering their gardens and washing their clothes and selves. Makes it seem more powerful when you put it in that light, huh? Don’t underestimate it, folks – it’s still water and water is powerful.
As a secret witch, I find the bathroom a good and private place for a few low-key workings. I often wear my favourite, (waterproof) crystal necklace and cleanse it with the water and my own cleansed energies. I also fill empty lip gloss containers with the warm water and add a few little bits and bobs like petals, leaves or even pieces of recently-dried tree sap to make infusions. They can be used later to cleanse small things like crystals, candles or even to anoint yourself. ! Make sure if you do use infusions you do not drink them unless they are fresh and you are certain that the plants you used aren’t dangerous in any way !. Lip gloss containers are great for the secret witch because they are inconspicuous and small enough to slip in your pocket. Just don’t let anyone mistake them for actual lip gloss!
Also, make sure you wash your body in the shower (kind of obvious, but oh well). Remember that physical hygiene and cleansing is just as important as spiritual cleansing, and it’ll help you feel fresh, bright and a million dollars – great for yo’ self-esteem.
Blessed be, lovelies. Hope this gave you a new appreciation of the bathroom!
A Haven, A Home
When thinking about creating a witchy, welcoming home, it can help to think what a haven means to you.
Begin by thinking of havens heroes have had in various literature. Where have they found refuge and recuperation? Then, think about places you have sought refuge in your life.
Visualize your ideal haven — allow yourself full creative imagination at this stage. Write down key words and themes of this image: cozy, peaceful, greenery, knowledge, seclusion, companionship…
Then examine your current home space. What are some ways you could bring your home closer towards that ideal in your mind?
[This is an idea I got from the book “Winter” by Jo Graham.]
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Yeah, it’s all arbitrary, and yet these completely made up ideas still influence what we think and feel. So, to take control of that subconscious, here’sa few crafty tips for starting the New Year. (I actually like to do all these things before I go out for the New Year’s Eve party, so that I come home to a new year and a fresh start. But it’s a bit late for that now.)
- Clean the whole house. Pay special attention to the floors, the mirrors, and counter- and tabletops. Wash up any dishes you have left in the sink, or fill up the dishwasher and put it on if you have one. All this is best done before Midnight (hence why I do it before the party).
- Put out fresh linen - bedsheets, tablecloths and all. Anything you can.
- Take out the trash. This sounds painfully prosaic, but starting the new year with last year’s garbage is something that was always profoundly, even spiritually displeasing to me. Taking it off your mind will make you feel better.
- Air the whole house. This can also be done on the morning of New Year’s Day.
- Change the incense, aromatic oils, potpourri and any other things you used to scent the air. Give yourself a whole new atmosphere.
These are just a few ideas, I’m sure you get the picture. As always, the most important part is what feels right to you.
Still relevant, I think.

Do Witches Cast Spells?
“You would think that the answer to this question was a given but in truth it is a big fat… maybe…
This question can’t be as definitely answered as one might expect because of the diversity found within paganism and the difference between Spells and Ritual. Whilst it is safe to make the statement that all Witches engage in some form of ritual it is not possible to say the same about spellwork…”
(read more at knotmagick101.wordpress.com)
I personally only focus on magickal ritual in the mundane everyday routine.But also, not every witch is pagan… coming from a Christian witch.
Misty Day (Swamp Witch) | American Horror Story S3E2
My fashion goal for this spring/summer is to build a few outfits heavily inspired by her witchy style.
This mini caldron will be used for burning intentions under the next full moon but until that special occasion arrives? It makes for a lovely tealight candle holder too. ️

This looks like the perfect rainy day project.

recipe for wild horseradish rolls
ingredients
-around 7 horseradish leaves
-one horseradish root (optional)
- 5 tablespoons sour cream
-3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
-½ cup of couscous
-½ cup of vegetable stock
-spring onions
-truffle salt
-around black pepper
-oregano
-ground chili pepper
-¼ cup of white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
directions
1 - set aside the prettiest looking leaves (around 4 or five) and chop up the extra until you get a cup of chopped horseradish leaves
2 - mix the chopped leaves with the sour cream, Dijon mustard, truffle salt, black pepper, chili powder, oregano, and white wine vinegar. If you want a stronger kick, you can grate the horseradish root and add that as well. you can blend for a smooth consistency or just leave it as is. Store in the fridge.
3 - cut the large stems off the leaves you set aside, splitting them into two near sections.
4 - add salt to a pot of water and bring to a boil. turn off the heat and add the halved leaves to the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then dunk in ice water.
5 - in a small sauce pan, add ½ cup of vegetable stock and bring it to a boil. then, add your dry couscous , a tablespoon of olive oil, and two chopped spring onions, then cover for 5 minutes or until soft.
6 - after the horseradish leaves have cooled down, pat them dry with a towel. then, add the filling and sauce. it was difficult to wrap them too tightly or neatly, but try your own technique until you get the hang of it. If you want an extra kick, you can add hot sauce as well.

ingredients :
full basket of dandelions
½ cup salt
1 tablespoon sesame oil
5 tablespoons avocado oil
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon garlic powder
½ tablespoon cinnamon
2 tablespoon chili powder

prepare three bowls, one with egg mixed with fork, one with flour, and one with panko bread crumbs
heat sesame oil and avocado oil at medium high heat
douse the dandelion flowers first with egg, then flour, then back into the egg, then panko bread crumbs

my tik tok full recipe
Ingredients :
approximately 1-2 lbs of rhubarb, I just eyeballed it.
1 cup of sugar, I used raw sugar but you can use any kind
½ cup of sugar
half lemon squeezed
3 tablespoons any alcohol, I used tequila
bring sugar and water to a boil and mix frequently until dissolved
let the mixture sit for about 20 mins
lightly blend rhubarb until chunky
cook rhubarb with the sugar water for about 10 mins on medium low heat
add lemon juice
blend until really smooth, although the rhubarb is fibrous so it won’t be perfectly smooth
add the alcohol, this step is optional but it works a lot better if you don’t have an ice cream maker machine
put in the freezer
set a timer for 30 mins and mix with a spoon every 30 mins. I did this about 6 or 7 times throughout the day, but if you have an ice cream maker you don’t have to do this.
when you’re mixing and it reaches a consistency you like, then it’s done
