Witchcraft's blog: "Witchwerks"

Bring home the magick and brew for yourself a most wonderful potion. Health, love and wisdom await all who savor this enchanting juice. You will need:

1 Gallon Apple Cider (home-made or locally prepared, of course!)

1 Plump Orange

1 Large and Deliciously Tart Red Apple

1 Handful of Sweet Rose Petals

3 Cinnamon Sticks

1/8 Teaspoon Nutmeg

Now... Before you begin you must know to NEVER use metal, lest it be an iron cauldron. Do you not have an iron cauldron to use? Or a cast-iron dutch oven? Or have you (gasp) broken your most prized cauldron? Then today... We shall improvise in the best way fitting ~ and you shall become a Crock-Pot Witch like me! Just warm your Crock-Pot on Low before we begin...

Pour the apple cider ~ the juice of love ~ into the stoneware crock and chant, "From the moon to the vine..." Then peel your orange, full of love and goodness, and squeeze its juices into the cider while echoing "From the vine to the fruit." Set aside the pulp for other uses. But tear the peel into thin strips and add to the mixture. "From the fruit to this brew," you will say as you core your apple, which is then cut into quarter-inch slices and added to the crock. Then break your cinnamon sticks ~ bringers of love and psychic powers ~ in half and add, as you say "May the Lady send her blessings..." an finally, the spice of fidelity, the nutmeg, is sprinkled in as your spell continues "May the Lord grant your desires"

From the Moon the Vine

From the Vine to the Fruit

From the Fruit to this Brew

May the Lady send her Blessings

May the Lord grant your Desires

Warm this potion over low heat (possibly high, when using your Crock-Pot) stirring often with a wooden spoon while repeating the special phrases. Do NOT allow this mixture to boil. Cook this way for two hours and use in your rituals or sacred communions.
