Oh, I definitely feel it! The air changes before a snowfall, it's almost a taste on my tongue. And the rain? There's something so cleansing and invigorating about it – I love being out in a good downpour. And I swear I can feel the wind calling my name sometimes.

Rune, in krog je sklenjen by Erik Lamut.
Its in Slovenian, by a Slovenian author.
I like it because he wrote it like a story from his own experience of communicating with the runes.

I have an interesting book, which is sadly not in English 😅 But Runes for beginners by Lisa Chamberlain is also great.

I cut the olive branches into thinner circles, sanded them down to smoothness, wood burned the runes into them with a soldering iron and then I put some olive oil on them before activating them.

I have rune cards as well, but I prefer these tiny runes which I can carry with me 😊

Yeah, at the time I was living in a house and we had about 8 olive trees which gave us about 20L of olive oil per year. Thank you! You just made my day 😅

I wood burned them with a soldering iron 😅 gotta make do with what you have on hand 🤣. I made them from my own olive trees branches after the spring cutting, sanded them down, wood burned the runes and rubbed them with my homemade olive oil, so the bond is quite strong cause I know the whole process

Thank you! I enjoyed spending time and making them from scratch. It made me feel even more connected to them.
If you're feeling the pull of the runes, you should definitely look into it.

I used rice, salt, basil, lavender, chamomile, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves, citrine, tiger's eye, some coins & a crisp bill.
The candle is anointed with home made money oil and sprinkled with herbs.

• There are a few different methods for drying herbs:
~ Air drying: Hang upside down in a dark, airy place.
~ Microwave drying: Do not recommend
~ Dehydrator: Consistent temperature for optimal flavor.
• Store your dried herbs in airtight jars in a cool, dark place.

Here are a few tips for growing and drying your own herbs:
• Start with easy-to-grow herbs like basil, mint, and chives.
• Most herbs need full sun to thrive.
• Herbs need to be watered regularly, but not too much.

Here are some of the benefits of growing and drying your own herbs:
• By growing your own, you can save money on your grocery bill.
• Dried herbs can lose some of their flavor over time. By drying your own herbs, you can ensure that they are as fresh as possible.

Some tips:
• Put love into every dish.
• Stir clockwise to attract, and counterclockwise to banish.
• Always offer thanks before chopping the vegetables.
• Share what you can spare.
• And most importantly! Trust your intuition. Do what feels right to you.

Blackbirds tend to be quite timid. But jackdaws are basically smaller crows so I think you can do it. Just stick to a semi regular feeding schedule and they'll remember you.

They're smart birdies so if you feed them once, they keep coming back.

Always support these smart babies. I had two crows coming to my balcony whole last year and guess what?! Now they're bringing their kids around with them! ❤️ I always leave them some food.

Well...she wasn't a witch in the traditional sense. But her cooking felt magical. Every meal was made with such love, it brought comfort and healing. Her food nourished us not just physically, but emotionally too. It was a kind of unintentional magic, a love language expressed through delicious food

A European Green Witch here. 🌿 Nature's magic inspires me, especially in herbalism, where I find joy in helping others. I also love crystal collecting, and crafting. My grandmother, a remarkable cook, definitely unknowingly practiced kitchen witchery, inspiring my own journey on this path.

I totally understand. Chamomile is my go to everyday beverage 😅
