Kitchen Witch Recipe: Balsamic Roasted Sweet Onions

The mundane: This fairly simple side dish takes the humble onion and really helps it shine. The sweet onion balances nicely with the tang of balsamic vinegar. There's a nice depth of flavor. Plus it's fairly simple to make (always a bonus in my house) and something different.

The witchy: This side dish is brimming with protection and banishment magic potential in the form of the onions, vinegar, and even the parsley garnish at the end, as well as your classic salt and pepper duo. This is an excellent side dish to make to utilize Saturday's protective energies and to enhance banishment workings.

Makes 6 servings, so adjust as needed

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

6 small sweet onions

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar

2 tablespoons dry white wine

1 tablespoon sugar

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley to garnish

Directions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit

Peel the onions and cut them into halves

In a baking dish large enough to fit the onions, combine the butter and oil. Once combined, whisk in your balsamic vinegar, white whine, sugar, and salt and pepper.

Add the onions to the dish, placing them in a single layer, making sure the cut side is facing down.

Cover loosely with foil and bake about 20 minutes.

Remove from oven. Turn each onion over and brush them with the pan juices. Make sure they are well coated!

Put them back in the oven, uncovered, and bake another 20-25 minutes until onions are tender and have browned.

Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with parsley, and enjoy!

To add a little extra magic to it, feel free to make a ritual of it. Light a black candle as you focus your intentions during prep and cook time. Call upon any deities you might want to work with. Say a chant for protection or banishing. These little things can really add a little extra razzle dazzle to something that feel otherwise mundane to some.

How to set a curse upon anyone

It's no secret that I'm a baneful witch. I don't hide from the fact that I don't fear consequences for my spells and neither do the people I set forth my wrath had tried to retaliate. I'm not here to judge anyone for wanting to set forth harm unto those that wronged them, I am merely here to teach you how to do it properly.

So here it goes:

Like any good spell there are components to making an effective curse. First, it's the intention. No good spell is complete without the intention in mind. All spells, remember, start off with the mind. So imagine the curse' affliction on the target. Imagine the curse making your tormentors suffer all the pain they've put on you.

Visualize their pain, fear, and suffering and relish in it. If you can't relish it then that's when you cut it out because this act is not for you. Putting curses on people is not for the faint of heart. If you can't find peace in their pain then focus on healing yourself instead. It's the only thing you can do at that point.

Second, a good spell needs a power source. This can be through the gods you worship, your soul, the energy in the atmosphere or objects and herbs you have around your house. You can pray to gods and goddesses of wrathful demeanor to carry out the curse for you. Or you can feel then bend the energy in the atmosphere then visualize it hitting or stabbing your target. Or you can burn or charge the object or herb of your liking and let the curse manifest.

And lastly, emotions. Or lack there of. This one will entirely depend on your own disposition to your emotions. Raw anger, resentment, deep sadness, or a pit of darkness deep in your stomach are all valid emotions that will tether your curse in reality.

If you do the curse right then you should see results in the near future.

That's it. Keep your head high, you'll get your revenge soon enough.

How to use crystals

Crystals can be used in various ways to harness their energies and benefits. Here are some common methods of working with crystals:

Meditation: Hold a crystal in your hand or place it nearby while meditating. Focus your attention on the crystal, allowing its energy to support your meditation practice and enhance your intentions.

Crystal Grids: Create a crystal grid by arranging multiple crystals in a specific geometric pattern. This combination of crystals amplifies their energies and intentions. Select crystals that align with your goals and place them in a pattern that resonates with your intention.

Wearing or Carrying: Wear crystals as jewelry or carry them in your pocket or purse throughout the day. This allows you to benefit from their energies and keep them close to you as a reminder of your intentions.

Placing in Your Environment: Position crystals in your home or workplace to enhance the energy of the space. You can place them on a windowsill, desk, or any area where you spend time. Choose crystals that align with the desired energy of the space.

Charging & Cleansing: Crystals absorb and radiate energy, so it's important to cleanse and charge them regularly. You can cleanse crystals by placing them under running water, burying them in the earth, smudging them with sacred herbs, or using other methods that resonate with you. To charge them, place them in sunlight, moonlight, or on a selenite charging plate.

Intention Setting: Before using a crystal, set your intention and focus your thoughts and energy on the desired outcome. Program the crystal with your intention by holding it in your hands, visualizing your intention, and speaking or mentally stating your affirmation.

Healing Practices: Crystals can be used in various healing practices, such as placing them on specific parts of the body during meditation or energy healing sessions. Explore different crystal layouts and techniques that align with your healing needs.

Remember, each crystal has unique properties, so it's essential to research and understand the specific attributes and energies of the crystals you are working with.

Trust your intuition when choosing crystals and experiment with different methods to find what resonates best with you.
