October
Newsletter

Hello and welcome to my website.

WE are now officially in Autumn... my favourite time of year!

Today is the first of October, and if you haven't seen this little trick it is very successful.

Abundance spell

You will need cinnamon and mint

Stand outside your front door looking in and put cinnamon and mint on your left palm. Blow the herbs through the open door and as you do so say

"Abundance, abundance come to me,

Mother Earth hear my plea." Repeat 2 more times.

Here are some things to do to celebrate the turning of the wheel...

Plant spring bulbs in the ground and let them germinate over winter.
Time to give thanks for our friendships. Tell your loved ones how grateful you are for them.
Go for a crunchy walk on the fallen leaves
Let go of the things that don't serve you any more. As the leaves die and fall, we should allow old thought patterns to do the same.
Make fermented goods for a happy gut (like sauerkraut )
Start collecting wood for winter fires.

You will need

White or Red cabbage

Salt

Jar

Optional extras: carrots, ginger, beets, dill, onions, juniper seeds, caraway... whatever you like!

Method

Keep the outer cabbage leaf
Cut up the cabbage and weigh it
Mix in 1 tbs of pink, sea or rock salt per 454g cabbage
Put the ingredients together, mix and squeeze the cabbage until lots of water appears. Leave for half an hour then come back and squeeze it again.
In a sterilised jar put in the cabbage then fill with the liquid. Put the spare cabbage leaf over the kraut and weigh it down, otherwise it will go mouldy.
Leave in a dark place but open the lid every day to release the air.
Leave for 1-3 weeks.
