Crafty Kitchen Witch

  I have been making this wonderful Medicinal Pickled Garlic for years Here is the original recipe that I use. I want to share with you. I use this in recipes when I need some healing magick or just on it's own for real strength and healing. It is so good and so good for you. It takes awhile to peel all those garlic but it's well worth it, I separate each garlic into pieces and then I take a large knife and slightly smash each clove. makes it so much easier to peel each clove, I use each and every clove small and large and sperate them into the jar. Any honey will work and I buy Apple cider vinegar by the gallon because we use it for so many things. Medicinal Pickled Garlic  According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.”   That is some powerful stuff!  There is m

I have this book in my wish list if anyone wants to gift me a copy!! I am looking forward to reading it I love the history of our country, especially witch and ghost stories. I have traveled several states across the country and I search for history as I travel. Stopping by shops, hotels, parks, cemeteries, parks and streets of houses just to ponder and wonder of the past, the history and truth behind the places of our land . Connecticut Witch Trials Most everyone has read or heard of the Salem, Massachusetts witch trials of 1692 in colonial America, where 20 people (women and a couple men) thought to be ‘witches’ were put on trial and many put to death when found guilty. Yet, mostly unknown there were hundreds more from miles outside of Salem who were accused and spent time in jail before the hysteria ended. One of the most notorious of these “forgotten” witch incidents happened a generation before Salem in Hartford, Connecticut. Colonial Connecticut had a series of witch trials that

 AUTUMN GODDESS CHARGE I am the waning moon The Goddess who is fading from the land In the Springtime I sought my Lord And mated with him beneath the trees and stars At Beltane I wed my Lord Beneath the first blossoms of the hawthorn tree And in the Summertime I ripened the apples in the orchards And the fruit grew round and strong At the corn harvest I cut down my Lord That by his death our people might be fed And now in the Autumn time I descend beneath the Earth To dwell with my Lord in his dark kingdom Until our child is born At the Winter Solstice I will bring forth the child And renew your hope And at Candlemas I myself will return To renew the land I leave you, but I return to you When you see my power fade And the leaves fall from the trees When snow obliterates like death All trace of me upon the Earth Then look for me in the Moon And in the heavens, you will see the soul of me Soaring still among the stars And in that darkest time When the Moon is covered by shadow And there

  How To Celebrate An Autumn Full Moon - Group Ceremony In addition to -- or instead of -- holding a monthly Esbat rite, some Wiccan and Pagan groups prefer to have a season-specific full moon ceremony. During the autumn months, the harvest season begins with the Corn Moon in late August, and continues through September's Harvest Moon and the Blood Moon of October. If you'd like to celebrate one or more of these moon phases with a ritual specific to the harvest, it's not hard. This rite is written for a group of four people or more, but if you needed to, you could easily adapt it for a solitary practitioner. What You Need: Candles for each of the four quarters  A cup of wine or cider  Symbols of the harvest to decorate the altar   Try to hold this ritual outside. Fall nights are usually crisp and cool, and a perfect time for outdoor rituals. Ask each member of the group to bring an item to place on the altar -- something that represents the bounty of the harvest. Decorate t
