Tomato Calyx:

The calyx is the star-looking green part of tomato flowers, which forms a protective cusp around the buds. After the fertilized flower forms a tomato, you will find these still attached.

They can be used in spells for:

- Love related workings, including sex, beauty, and other Venus associations, as both tomato plants and the color green are associated with this.

- Protection from illness and negative energy for the house, family, and self. When hung at the front of the entrance of the home or at a window, it is said to repel evil.

- Prosperity/Wealth is another common association.

- Other forms of Abundance in life, especially if they're from tomatoes you grew yourself.

- as these are from tomatoes I grew, I also use them for manifestation and dedication, an extra oomph to my intent.

- a calyx with 5 sepals can be used with the same symbolism as a pentagram.

If you're careful to remove the pedicle from the center, you'll have an opening like this:

From which you can tie the calyxes together or hang them up. They are also easier to press-dry this way for later use. If you let them dry without pressing, they will curl up and not maintain their star-like shape.

Culinary uses:

Your first thought may be "isn't tomato part of the nightshade family??? Isn't it super unsafe to eat the leaves??? Tomato IS part of the nightshade family, and contains the toxic alkaloids tomatine and solanine. But they're in very, very low concentrations, even in the leaves. You would have to eat about a pound and a half to be affected.

But still, this part of the tomato plant doesn't do much regarding flavor. Though I like the visual effect of it. They don't have a strong aroma like the leaves of the plant do, and they taste simply grassy. If you include it in your recipe for magical purposes, you won't have ruined your dish at all, but otherwise they don't add much.

I'm at a loss for words under a full moon,

Staring at the ceiling of a white room,

Does the mirror in the corner see my shame, too?

Or a different view?

Wheel of the Year

From infusions and tinctures to oils and salves: The basics of herbal healing and the beginnings of any potion. 

Decoction: A decoction is needed to extract the deeper essence from harder substances such as barks, roots and stems. Place the raw materials in a pot and fill it with fresh water. Simmer uncovered until the water lever is reduced by 1/3. Strain the resulting liquid to remove particulates then drink or use as needed. Infusion: Pour freshly boiled water over the desired herb or planar matter, roughly 8 ounces of water per teaspoon of dried plant parts. When using fresh herbs roughly 3 times as much is required. 

Oil: Place flowers, herbs or other plant parts in a sealed glass container. Fill the container with an organic oil (ex: Olive, sesame, etc…) until it is an inch above the material being used. Place the bottle somewhere warm for 2 weeks, next to a stove while cooking, on the mantle, a sunny window sill, etc. Upend the container daily to ensure the oil saturates the material. 

Ointment: Heat 2 cups of pure lard to frying temperature. Add 4 handfuls of crumbled dry herbs or 6 handfuls of chopped fresh herb to the lard. Stir to to blend and let simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover and let sit over night. Reheat until liquid then mix in 4 tablespoons of an organic oil, this will prevent it hardening to much. Squeeze through a cheese clothe to remove solids and store in a crockery or glass container. 

Salve: Mix 3 ounces of finely pulped plant parts, 7 ounces of lard and 1 ounce of beeswax. When thoroughly mixed simmer over low heat in active red pot for 1-2 hours. Remove from eat and allow to cool. 

 Tincture: A tincture uses alcohol to extract the properties of a herb or plant. Loosely fill a glass container with fresh or dried herbs and add some sort of food grade spirit (ex: vodka), vinegar can also be used for certain ingredients. Cork or otherwise seal the container and leave somewhere warm for 2 or more weeks.

Homemade cleansing salt.

The Boyfriend is at work. I have the day off and we need to clean the apartment anyway, so I took the dogs to daycare. I’ll be spreading this delicious mixture all over the carpet and vacuuming it up after a bit.

Freshly ground cinnamon, fresh rosemary and sage*, Herbes de Provence (savory, lavender, rosemary, thyme, tarragon), ground cinnamon, a bit of Aleppo pepper for heat, and a mix of my barley/dried lavender/dried roses with some hawthorn.

A powerful thing, a food processor.

*Sage is fresh culinary sage, not white sage.

After reflecting on things in my life, I decided to do a reading for myself.

This feels right, because I am in the process of letting certain parts of myself and my life be pruned away to make room for much needed growth.

This began shakily last year but I feel as though I am finding my footing. Slowly, surely.
