Hi, I saw your post about the Uranus Jupiter alignment on Saturday, and I am in dire need of a change. How can we best utilize it? What should we do to honor it?
This is a difficult question to answer without more information about what (if any) type of magic you do and are familiar with.
I'm going to give you a very simple practice here that involves some energy work and the natural properties of plants that are in bloom for me right now. Feel free to reach back out and let me know more about your practice and maybe I can get more specific.
You will need a jar with a lid that holds 16 oz of water, a pen and writing utensil, two cups, a cup of fresh violets or 10 butterfly pea flowers, and lemon juice. (suggested: a small food offering for Jupiter and Saturn, a part of dinner is fine)
This is some pretty basic sympathetic magic: we are going to use the color-changing properties of the flowers plus the energy of this planetary event to bring change into your own life.
Set the jar of water outside to soak up the energy of the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction. You can put it into sunlight or into moonlight the night beforehand depending on which you think is more powerful - ask the water to absorb this energy. Let it sit outside for at least 2 hours to overnight. (Bonus points if you do it during the exactitude of this change, check your local ephemeris for this time)
Boil the water and then cool it down for 2 minutes before steeping your flower tea. Let this tea sit for 10-15 minutes until it takes on a pretty purple color. Separate the tea into two cups. You want to enforce the sympathetic link of the two cups - they are of the same water and tea, they are the same. You can do energy work here to make the two cups the same if that is a part of your practice.
Write a list, a letter to Jupiter and Uranus, or put into words in some other way what needs to change in your life. Get very specific. You can use sigils or whatever is meaningful to you. If it's a part of your practice, fold up the paper away from you to show that this is what you want to get rid of. Put this piece of paper into one of the cups of tea.
Pour a splash of lemon juice (really to taste here) into each cup - it will change the purple color to a bright fuschia. This is your change in action! Drink out of the cup that does not have the paper in it and leave the other cup on your altar overnight before disposing of the paper in the trash and the liquid down your toilet.
The next time that you pee, focus on what you need gone leaving your body.
Take steps in your life to carry this change forward.

Butterfly pea lemonade with pansy syrup 🍋
~***recipe***~
3-4 tablespoons dried butterfly pea flowers
two lemons (unwaxed if possible)
one cup of pansy (viola) blossoms (grow your own or get from a trusted source to avoid pesticides)
one cup caster sugar
water
first make the pansy syrup: collect and wash your pansies, separating the blossoms from the green parts. put the blossoms in a bowl, pour a cup of just-boiled water over em and let them soak for 24 hours in a non-plastic bowl. you can leave them covered out of the fridge just fine. then add the pansies and their liquid to a pan and heat with the sugar until there is no graininess and the mixture has thickened just a little. I stopped in 'slightly thinner than maple syrup' territory. Strain out the flowers and save the syrup in a clean glass container.
to make the lemonade, soak the butterfly pea flowers in 750ml/3 cups of just boiled (but slightly cooled) water. while the lovely blue colour diffuses through the water, zest and juice your lemons. I used two, but you might want more.
strain the butterfly pea flowers out of the water when the colour is sufficiently blue - which for me was a 'science vial in a b-movie' shade. add the lemon juice and zest, and watch the liquid turn from bright blue to bi purple. add pansy syrup to taste, pour over ice and garnish with fresh pansy flowers!

When you matched cocktails to BLs the other day, it reminded me of all the colorful cocktails in Thai shows. Do you know what they are--especially the Windex-Blue drink? They can't all be drinking Blue Curacao, can they?
They might be using blue sala syrup. Or they might be using butterfly pea syrup (nom anchan AKA นมอัญชัน).
Most BL watchers are familiar with the red sala syrup, that's what turns pink milk pink. It's meant to taste like palm fruit (it doesn't much).
But there are actually 3 popular flavors: dang (red); kieow (green) which is cream soda flavor; and (mali) or jasmine which is clear/slightly yellow. There are a lot more, these are basically like italian soda flavorings they just put them into milk.
Tumblr media
I think there is also a blue version.
King in the scene where he meets Ram with the others at the cafe, and learns Ram's name, is drinking either blue or green milk. I can't remember witch and I'm too lazy to investigate.
Butterfly Pea is a common colorant in Thai food, it's in a lot of the deserts in Until We Meet Again
Tumblr media
It turns Chor-Muang ขนมช่อม่วง blue/purple. Also Bulan Dan Mek ขนมบุหลันดั้นเมฆ. Pandan is also used as a colorant for green things. Unlike butterfly pea it does as quite a bit of a flavor (a sort of grassy fragrant vanilla).
Tumblr media
But honestly?
Blue Curacao is cheep and easy and widely available, so it's probably that.

Blue Matcha Dessert Shot ... in love with dreamy, delicious dessert
Blue Matcha Dessert Shot…  A dessert as light as a cloud, one that teases the palette with so many textures and flavours, it’s delicious! There’s something so calming about this pretty blue, and the slight earthy, moorish undertones are very pleasant. This butterfly pea powder has had me smitten for a while and it’s not difficult to see why … They say sipping blue tea is very soothing because…

I have to buy some butterfly pea flowers for a project that I'm working on and I'm very excited to get to work with this botanical firsthand. The magical properties of this seem pretty obvious to me (it literally changes colors) but I'm curious if any of y'all use it in your magic in any way. There are so many immediate applications that come to mind in potion making for me - it can be made into syrup, frozen into ice cubes, or infused into liquor.
I cannot wait to find out more!

*comes up from rabbit hole*
*takes a deep breath*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear, practically every single website on making all natural wood stain or paint is either “Oh, yeah, you can totally stain with beets and berries no sweat it’s cool!” or “Dude it’s all fugitive and will fade in a day don’t waste your time”.
I have found two - TWO! - that have gone “You can use these, but they fade without a mordant, so you have to use one of those. Mordants are a dying thing we’re not going to go into here.”
...
Thanks, guys.
And then 96% of the dyers are either “Oh, yeah, you can totally dye with beets and berries no sweat it’s cool!” or “Dude it’s all fugitive and will fade in a day don’t waste your time”.
Mordant? What’s a mordant?
If you want to learn about mordants you have to specifically search for them, rather than natural dyes, and most sites are “Mordant is from French, it helps the colour bind to your fabric, here, have a list of the common ones” with little if any information on how to choose a mordant for your particular dye.
You wanna know which mordant will keep your beet dye from fading to white by sun up tomorrow? You have to specifically search of a mordant for beet dye. Or berries. Or whatever. And then sit there and wonder if the person who wrote the article you’re reading is right, or if it’s the person who says these dyes don’t need a mordant, or if it’s the person who says these dyes never work period, and then there’s the question of if it’s even relevant to you because.
You’re.
Making.
Stains.
And.
Paints.
Not.
Dyeing.
Fabric!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
