 HELLO WITCHY POOS AND HAPPY STRAWBERRY MOON!
A week ago, I polled you guys to see if you wanted my Strawberry Moon Shrimp Salad recipe, and some of you did, so I thought I would share it with you! I have recently started cleaning up my diet, so eating fresh fruits and greens, mixed with some protein, is a GREAT way to satisfy your hunger during the hot summer months. When it's hot out, I don't exactly crave huge and heavy meals, and whether or not the same is for you, you can still add this as an addition or side dish to any meal. This is SUPER simple! This takes maybe 10-15 minutes to make and measurements are for 1 person, so if you are serving more, adjust accordingly! In a bowl, Defrost/clean about 8 shrimp In a separate bowl, combine the following:
In a frying pan, add the following
Once your shrimp are defrosted, start up the heat on your frying pan, and saute your shrimp in the garlic and olive oil. As the shrimp starts turning pink, add a pinch of pink himalayan sea salt and some crushed black pepper. The excess water from the shrimp, combined with the olive oil and garlic, should make a nice sauce. Now, you don't want to cook your shrimp for too long, or it will get leathery! They're usually good to go, a few seconds after turning completely pink. Now take all your contents from the pan and add to your salad bowl with your spinach/strawberries. Now cut a lemon, and using half, squirt the juice over your whole salad, and mix altogether! Add another dash of sea salt & crushed black pepper to taste. VIOLA! A nice and simple, light and fresh summer salad! This is great for a quick and healthy summer lunch or light dinner. ENJOY! HAPPY STRAWBERRY MOON & MIDSUMMER!

So while I can't take FULL credit for this one, I thought I would share it, as it has become one of my favorite go to's, when I'm looking for a quick lunch or even just a filling snack to hold me over while waiting for a bigger meal.

SPRINGTIME EGG SALAD RECIPE FOR OSTARA OR EASTERCOOKING TIME & SERVING SIZE EGG BOILING TIME: 15 MINUTES COOLING TIME: 2 MINUTES MIXING TIME: 5 MINUTES FULL MEAL COOK TIME: Approx. 20-25 minutes SERVING SIZE: 1 egg for every slice of bread you plan on using INGREDIENTS & TOOLS 1-2 Raw Eggs A pot of water A bowl of ice water 1/4 cup Mayonnaise (may substitute with hummus) 1 Tsp Golden brown mustard 1 TBSP of capers (Optional) Pinch of sea salt Dash of crushed black pepper Sprinkle of fresh garden parsley 1 -2 pieces of bread, toasted to your liking DIRECTIONS 1. Fill your pot with water and place in your raw eggs 2. Bring your water to a boil, and then set your timer for 10 minutes. 3. As your eggs are boiling, fill a bowl (big enough to fit all your eggs) with ice and water. Place this bowl in your sink for now. 4. Once 10 minutes is up, remove your eggs from the boiling water, and place right into your ice water. Give them an ice water bath for 2 minutes. This shocks the eggs and stops the cooking process right away. It also cools them quickly and helps ease the shell removal process. 5. After 2 minutes, remove your eggs from your ice water bath and tap them lightly on a hard surface . Then gently roll the egg to loosen the shells. They should start to come off pretty easily. You can discard you eggshells in the garbage, but they are also great to save and crush into a powder and make Cascarilla, which is great for spring cleaning rituals. You can also use them as a plant food or compost as egg shells are packed with amazing nutrients which are GREAT for your houseplants and your outdoor gardens! 6. After removing the shells, just run your now hardboiled eggs under some water to get rid of any excess shells hanging on to their surface. 7. Place them in a bowl, and begin to cut them into small pieces. 8. Add your mayonnaise, golden brown mustard, capers (optional), a pinch of sea salt, a dash of crushed black pepper, and a sprinkle of your garden parsley, to taste. 9. Mix that all up and set aside, while you toast your bread! 10. Add a heaping spoonful to your bread, you can eat this open faced and add a bit more sprinkle of sea salt and fresh parsley on top to garnish. Or you can eat this as a closed sandwich, or even on a bagel, english muffin, or even crackers for a lighter snack! That is pretty much it you guys! Very simple! I hope you enjoyed this quick spring time recipe and are all having a lovely time celebrating the Spring season, whether you are celebrating the vernal equinox (Ostara) or Easter if you follow the traditions of Christianity, or even just celebrate Easter commercially.
Til next time! Justina xoxo  Hello Magickal Beings! Happy First Harvest, and Blessed Lammas/Lughnasadh to all! I am always a little sad when Lammas rolls around because it means the almost end of summer. However, I must admit, I always get excited for all the beauty and coziness that comes with Fall: turning inward, and embracing introspection once again. But summer is not over yet! First we must celebrate this beautiful sabbat in honor of our first harvest. This sabbat is all about GRATITUDE, ABUNDANCE, FERTILITY, STRENGTH, MANIFESTATION, just to name a few key terms! It's the time of year to harvest all the fruits of our hard labor since the last frost this past winter. Those first seeds we planted come the spring are now growing wild with its ripened fruits on the vine. We have also just celebrated the Full Blueberry Moon, which is the best time to pick our ripened blueberries off the vine, and put them to use in some yummy cakes and pies! Some other notable representations of First Harvest are Corn, Lavender, Wheat, Lemons, and Breads. I thought all of these flavors would be great together in one recipe, to celebrate the season and sabbat! So below I will be showing you how to make this Lammas Blueberry Cornbread with a Lemon Lavender Glaze!

Hello Magickal Beings!
I hope you all had a wonderful Midsummer Solstice and Merry Litha! I hope you are enjoying the slowness of summer, tending to your gardens and knocking some unfinished projects off your to-do list! Before you know it, we'll be turning in for the colder seasons once again. Not quite yet though! We still have a couple more months left to tend our gardens and brave the heat! Even our plants and flowers might be subject to a bit of a draught, so I did some research and found out that a very special flower that I planted in my very own garden, holds some very magickal properties that are said to be used in RAIN MAGICK! 
According to Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, "If pansies are picked when dew is still on them, it will soon rain"! I also found out that Pansies are in fact EDIBLE! As I was thumbing through my copy of Midsummer: Rituals, Recipes, & Lore for Litha, I found a recipe for Shortbread Cookies, when all of these concepts simultaneously crossed paths in my mind. I thought it would be cool to create my own version of this Shortbread Cookie, using Pansies as a topping, and when eaten, it would serve as an intentional blessing to keep my garden well watered by the skies through the hot summer. So I searched for pansy shortbread cookies to see if I could find out how to secure them to the tops of the cookies when I came across a recipe by Sugar and Charm.
The actual recipe I used was a bit of a cross between the recipe I found in the Midsummer Book and Sugar and Charm's website, as well as some add-ons and amendments I made, putting my own spin on things. Instead of the Rosemary as used in the Midsummer Book, I used culinary lavender buds instead, as well as orange zest and some drops of DoTerra's Wild Orange Essential Oil for an extra zesty taste! Before I get into this recipe, you can actually watch me pick pansies and bake these cookies, along with some other recipes and projects for the Midsummer season in my Youtube Vlog here: SHORTBREAD INGREDIENTS
SHORTBREAD COOKIE DIRECTIONS
When your cookies are room temperature, now it's time to have fun decorating them with our beautiful edible pansy flowers! LET'S GO SNIPPETYBIP SOME PANSIES!
PICK YOUR PANSIES!
It is perfectly fine if these are not growing in your own garden. You might be able to find these or other edible flowers at your local grocery store, or specialty store. But if you DO have these in your garden, why not put them to good use!?!? And if you don't, these are a great flower to have in your garden, and you should definitely make a note to plant them next year! They actually will do well if you plant them in the fall... they enjoy the cooler weather much better! DISCLAIMER: It is important to make sure that your pansies are certified organic, and don't contain any pesticides before using them for culinary purposes. DO NOT get them at a florist. Pick them from your own garden or purchase in the grocery store where they are sold with the intention of being ingested. 
COOKIE TOPPING INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
SET YOUR INTENTION!
Now it is time to try one! When you eat your rain magick cookie, set the intention and picture Mother Earth opening her arms and sprinkling her refreshing water onto your blossoming garden. Envision your garden thriving, and reaffirm that you will have a bountiful harvest come the Lammas sabbat! After you finish your cookie, seal it with "SO MOTE IT BE!" and thank Gaia for all of her blessings.
