this gemini season has been giving me a lot of thoughts lately, especially as a virgo rising/mercury

Things that have helped me feel closer to my deities:

Praying before their altars (bonus points if you write your own)

Read books other than their myths (books you think they’d enjoy themselves)

Meditating with them

Learn about magickal subjects related to them

Dedicate a journal for notes and document experiences you have with that deity (including moments where they’ve assisted you and any divination conversations you’ve had with them)

Listen to their messages and follow through with them

Light incense that reminds you of them

Find artwork that feels like that deity and hang, print or save them

Divination Methods (Runes, Tarot, Pendulums, Bone Throwing, etc.)

Watch content on different subjects they’re related to (documentaries on death, relationships, crime, etc.)

Dedicate, care, and/or name pets, plants, plushies, etc to them

Learn not just their pantheon and myths but the culture that influenced them

Wear jewelry dedicated to them (bonus if you have that deity enchant them with protection)

Share meals with them

Thinking of them in passing (like “hey that thing reminds me of *insert deity*”)

Talk casually at their altars and give them an itinerary of your day

Define your relationship with that deity and refer to them accordingly (if its a more formal/in reverence, use a formal title. if it’s warm/personal, use an affectionate name.)

The Witch of the forest

🍓🍋 Strawberry Moon Slushy 🍋🍓

I was looking into making a beverage for the Summer Solstice when I remembered a drink I had on my birthday and thought I'd recreate it!

This is a strawberry, basil, and mint frozen lemonade but given that I made it with the coming Strawberry Moon in mind, I decided that "Strawberry Moon Slushy" sounds so much better.

This recipe makes about 2 servings.

Ingredients

2 cups of FROZEN strawberries

1 cup lemon juice (fresh squeezed)

3/4 cup of sugar

Basil leaves

Mint leaves

1/4 cup of ice

Shot of your fav gin or vodka (optional)

Instructions:

Get your ingredients ready and grab the blender.

Squeeze the lemons. The lemons I used gave me roughly 9 tbs of lemon juice.

Pour in your frozen strawberries, lemon juice and ice. Blend until slushy. If you're adding booze, add it in here. One or two shots depending on your preference.

Add in 3/4 cup of sugar. If you're like me and you love it sour then only do 1/2 cup sugar. You could also substitute sugar for agave or honey, using a few tbs of either and then adding more to taste.

Add your basil and mint to taste. I used four large leaves of each but you can use more or less!

Top it off with a garnish, either a strawberry, a lemon slice, or a mint sprig!

Notes:

If you'd rather use premade lemonade, use 1 cup of lemonade and you can skip the sugar.

You can use this mixture to make popsicles if you have a mold for it!

Fresh mint and basil works best but if you only have dried only use about a 1/2 tsp at first and then add more to taste.

Magical Associations:

This is a great drink for the Summer solstice because the following full moon the next day is called the Strawberry Moon! This would be a great spell for self-love or attraction.

Tip: Imbue your beverage with magic and create a drinkable spell!

Strawberries are associated with love, good luck, and fortune.

Basil is associated with wealth and prosperity.

Mint is associated with abundance and healing.

Lemons are associated with the sun, happiness, and cleansing.

Water is really underrated as an offering, especially for ancestors. Think about how hard it was to get clean water, historically. Water clean enough to drink! The fact that it's relatively easy for modern people to get our hands on doesn't take away its value for our ancestors.
