Another Rainy Day At The Farm…

bitches really listing Stardew Valley down as one of their calming games when you’re supposed to play it like you’re gonna die every 11 minutes, like an entire operation with at least a dozen tabs open and the townie’s favorite gifts on a spreadsheet and each crops yield-to-time ratio ranked and memorized

Pieces of Advice for Living

Happiness is where you are now, or nowhere at all

Renounce useless guilt

Fall in love with inner beauty

Create your own space

Be brave enough to be bad at something new

When things change inside you, things change arround you

Spend time with people who matter most

Change is uncomfortable but necessary

Read about history from different sources 

Buy less clothes and make sure they are made organically and ethically or buy second hand

Deflecting someone who compliments you isn’t modest it’s insulting

Your boundaries will scare some people away, it’s fine! let them go

Compliment yourself

Your mental and physical health are always your priority

Take a bath and notice how great your body is

Be mindful of the things you put into your body emotionally, spiritually and physically

Your diet is not only what you eat, it’s what you watch, what you listen to, what you read and with who you spend your time with

Don’t let the internet rush you

Get enough sleep

Buy vegan options in anything that’s possible

Keep it private until you know it’s permanent

Enjoy experience more than materials 

Stay in your healing

Your scars are symbols of your strength 

simple daily crafts (i)

i don’t have access to most witch resources (herbs, crystals, divination tools, etc) so i often opt to incorporate simple witchcraft on my daily routines:

chanting a spell as i take a shower to cleanse my body and re-establish a layer of protection (great for witches who associate with water)

use spells to help my skin be clear and healthy as i do my skincare routine

draw sigils on foggy surfaces (eg. mirrors after a hot shower)

pour good intentions into my cooking (health, prosperity, etc for those who eat it)

enchant my drinks so they can help cleanse my body from the inside

get permission to eat edible offerings to impart the energy, strength, and wisdom of my deities/guardians/etc

use part salt water when i mop the floor to cleanse my space regularly

enchant my money so that when they’re with me, they keep my finances prosperous and when i use them they’ll help me earn more in the future (you can also enchant them so nobody can use them for “bad” purposes, curse those who steal it, etc the possibility is endless)

enchant and charge my detergent so when i wash my clothes, any energy that negatively impact me that stuck to them will be neutralized

use glamour spells when i put on my make up

cleanse my living space using smoke from incenses (usually ones i’ve offered to my patron deity, after getting their permission) and establish a layer of invisibility protection

use novels and textbooks i have for bibliomancy

basically enchant everything and anything cause there are no limits to this!

Perfect Bread:

I absolutely love this recipe! The bread is soft, and is perfect for sandwiches, French toast, and pretty much everything you can think of. I don’t want to buy bread from the store ever again!

6 Cups all-purpose flour

2 ½ Cups very warm water

2 Tbsp. Active dry yeast

2 Tbsp. Sugar

1 tsp. Salt

1 Tbsp. Butter

Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar and let sit until the surface is foamy (If it’s doesn’t foam, the yeast doesn’t work).

When yeast is activated, add 3 cups of the flour, the salt, and the butter. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes.

Once mixture is smooth, add the remaining 3 cups of flour. I recommend folding the flour in until fairly combined before kneading.

Once combined, knead dough for 6-8 minutes in a stand mixer, or 8-10 minutes by hand.

Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap or a cloth, and let rise for 45 minutes.

Cut dough into 2-3 equal pieces and place into a buttered bread pan, and brush melted butter (or olive oil). Allow to rise in the loaf pans for an additional 10-15 minutes. (🍞 Tip: Use a small knife to make a slit longways across the bread to prevent splitting along the side of the bread.)

Bake bread in a 375°F oven for 30 minutes uncovered, and and additional 10 minutes covered in foil to prevent excess browning.

Makes 2-3 loaves of bread.
