Hearthwitch Cottage: November 2011
http://hearthwitch-cottage.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
The meandering thoughts of a modern-day hearth witch. Sunday, 20 November 2011. Witchy Wanderings / Avebury. Way back when I started writing this blog, almost two years ago, I wrote about visiting Avebury. Stone circle, here in Wiltshire. Avebury is a really special place to me - it has become a bit of a tradition for B and I to visit there, usually on a Sabbat. For me, it is definitely a place I go to when I want to 'reconnect' with myself and my spiritual world. Sunday, 13 November 2011. Five more week...

The meandering thoughts of a modern-day hearth witch. Tuesday, 9 October 2012. Wheel of the Year / Autumn. The leaves are starting to turn - golden, bronze, red and copper - and drop to the ground. I am excited to get to the day when they are crunchy and I can kick my way through them. But autumn I love. The countdown to Hallowe'en begins here. Last year I filled this space with autumnal recipes, ideas and rituals for celebrating this magickal time of year. My intention is to do the same this yea...I am ...

Hearthwitch Cottage: October 2011
http://hearthwitch-cottage.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
The meandering thoughts of a modern-day hearth witch. Monday, 31 October 2011. Blessed Samhain - Happy Hallowe'en! Someone asked me yesterday what - as a witchy person - I do for Halloween. Well firstly, I call it Samhain (summer's end) and a lot of what I do is pretty much the same as what other people do. I carve Jack O'Lanterns (but I try to make them friendly) because the folklore behind them, which you can read all about here. Every hedge, hearth, kitchen, garden or any other kind of witch is differ...

Hearthwitch Cottage: June 2012
http://hearthwitch-cottage.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
The meandering thoughts of a modern-day hearth witch. Saturday, 16 June 2012. Kitchen Magic / Hollandaise. Firstly, if you're tired or not in the best of moods, I wouldn't recommend trying this! It takes patience, as I found earlier this week! If you want to give it a go you will need:. 150 grams of butter. 2 tbsp cold water. The juice of half a lemon. Salt and pepper to taste. A heavy-bottomed pan, a whisk and a strong arm. 3 Once you are happy with the thickness of your sauce, remove from the heat, squ...

Hearthwitch Cottage: Wheel of the Year // Mabon
http://hearthwitch-cottage.blogspot.com/2012/09/wheel-of-year-mabon.html
The meandering thoughts of a modern-day hearth witch. Friday, 21 September 2012. Wheel of the Year / Mabon. So why the apples? In the Celtic wheel of the year, the autumn equinox - or Mabon - marked the harvest of the fruits. Still today, there are celebratory gatherings around the country for the apple harvest: cider tastings, apple days and general merriment and thanksgiving that we have fruit to harvest. Does not end just because the seasons turn. As I bite my apple this Mabon, not only will I be givi...

Hearthwitch Cottage: January 2012
http://hearthwitch-cottage.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The meandering thoughts of a modern-day hearth witch. Sunday, 29 January 2012. Allotment Tales / Winter Jobs. Several people have asked me lately how much time we spend down at the allotment. During the summer we are there several evenings a week, but during winter, when it is dark before I return from work, it is really only at weekends that we get chance to visit and potter. There is far less to do during the winter, as so much has died back and been tidied away. However, a few jobs remain. This recipe...
