Hiya! I’ve got a great drink for you to celebrate the upcoming Autumn Sabbats:

Lavender Cider Tea:

This one is super easy.

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

3x Apples

water to cover but not over fill

blender

french press for coffee or cheese cloth (and a funnel and bowl if you use cheese cloth)

1tblsp vanilla

1tsp cinnamon

1tblsp of food grade lavender

1tblsp of sugar (I use monkfruit sweetener myself)

Directions:

1. Chop apples into chunks removing the core. Blend the apples in your blender with enough water to cover

2. Pour apple mix into french press and slowly filter out the apple purée. (If using cheese cloth. Add apple purée slowly. And let it drain. After, squeeze as much fluid out as you can) Do this a few times until mostly clean. (took me a couple filters, but I do smaller batches)

3. pour cider into a saucepan to heat. Add sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla

4. once heated, skim off some of the scum that floats to the top. And pour into a cup with your lavender (I use a reuseable tea/spoon steeper.

5. Let steep for 3-5 min

(I use the leftover apple purée and I make a doggy treat, I mix in plain yogurt with a bit of natural peanut butter and stick it in the freezer for my dogs later. Just make sure there’s no seeds)

Enjoy! Great for sleep or celebrating a harvest sabbat. Or if you want to do a past life regression journey. As lavender has great mental benefits.

Let me know how your cider tea turns out!

So this is kind of personal...

But I really wanted to share. I'm an empath as I've shared before. For those of you unfamiliar with this gift type. I am extremely sensitive to other people's energies specifically their emotions. There are times when I am very close to someone I can experience an emotion (Usually has to be a very strong emotion so 9/10 it happens to be pain). I feel their emotion through myself but know it's not me. And I usually reach out to that specific person to be of assistance. Because being an empath requires a great deal of shielding I avoid recreational drugs. I smoke marijuana occasionally to treat my chronic anxiety, but that's the extent. Once a year, however, I like to do Molly it's common name for MDMA. And while the primary reason is because it's the one time of year I go to a rave at a convention. It is also when I tend to meet a lot of people housing confused energy. And they hypersensitivity allows me to do readings without the use of my tarot cards. And let me tell you guys. The readings I did for people were so personal and so intense. That most people by the end were hugging and crying. I sometimes lose my faith in my own ability to work with energy. I forget the power of the energy that moves throughout our world. And while I won't share these very personal readings. I will say that the energy that is inside of us is what makes us witches. Intent is the most important tool in your arsenal. You can do anything with intent. Your energy is that strong. I have felt people's energy electrocute me when I touch them. Your energy is that strong. I am not bullshitting you. I'm not exaggerating. Your powers as a witch rely on your intent and the intent alone. If you want it to happen. You will make it happen. Sorry I didn't make a samhain post. I'm getting excited as we move into yule. Use the sun's energy do some solstice work. Love you all.
