Today In our Urban Magick and Kitchen Witchcraft Series. I wanted to go over the magickal properties of one of my favorite herbs for journeywork and trance work Mugwort, In the video below we cover its uses and some ways to use it in your magickal practice.
Mugwort has been known to be harsh on the liver so if you have liver issues or if you are pregnant or lactating avoid taking mugwort internally such as tea form. ALWAYS consult with your doctor for the safety of use.
In this episode of the Magickal Coffee Hour, we talk about different magickal books and journals from Grimoires to Books of Shadows and even touch on the legends of Tomes of Power.
I got a lot of interest and feedback on my making a basic mead video. So when my wife asked me to start a new batch of my multi-berry mead I decided to film that and share that recipe as well since I know a lot of people love fruit meads. Honestly, this method is very similar to making a basic mead. I actually do not add the fruit too much closer to the end to get more fruit flavor as that is how I and my wife prefer it. With luck, it will all make sense as this mead making series comes along. Below you will find a list of items you will need to get started.
15 pounds of honey of your choice I like clover for this mead (for this batch I decided to try the honey from Walmart here is hoping it comes out ok.)
Lalvin 71-B is the yeast I am using
This recipe is for a full 5-gallon batch
As always check your local homebrewing laws and happy brewing.

I get a lot of emails and messages asking how to make a physical ritual circle. There are indeed many ways to do this as in the end you only need a permanent or semi-permanent circle. Now I don’t want that to sound silly cause lets be honest many of us do not have the ability to do a massive inlay or pained circle on the floor even if that would be cool I have to agree. Add to that how can one make one that if need be is low key enough that if they live with family or roommates who don’t know they practice that the physical circle can go unnoticed. So I wanted to do this video to share how I approached this very issue in my own practice. To give you some ideas to use to make or own or start brainstorming for your own solution and ideal to craft your own.
I get asked or told all the time how people having issues with meditation can overcome the issues they are having or they tell me they just can’t meditate at all because insert any number of reasons.

One of the most basic and fundamental skills in magick or any spiritual practice for that matter is meditation. Yet somehow meditation is the most overlooked and perhaps misunderstood topic and practice. I get emails daily about how to start meditation or how to improve a mediation practice.
One of the first things I tell clients is practice makes better there is no perfect. I personally recommend meditating twice a day for 5 to 10 mins at least each day. Know I know for a beginner this is asking a lot but set this as a goal to work up to. In the video below we cover a few mediations for a beginner new to the practice to get started right away.

With Yule on the way, I thought I would share a recipe that we love in my family for wassail. You might be wondering just what is wassail. Wassail is a strong alcoholic punch like drink that is commonly made with ale and apples. It was once a very common and important part of the Yule season. The holiday carol ‘A Wassailing We Come’ is in fact about this drink. In the past friends and neighbors would go wassailing what we might call caroling today. if you lessen to the modern carol you can hear the tradition of them going around singing in exchange for an offering of strong drink(wassail) and some coins for their purse. Honestly, I might have enjoyed caroling more if they were handing out alcohol lol. The idea was to bring good health and joy to all those you shared the wassail with. So enjoy the video below to learn more and make a batch of wassail for you and your family and be in good health and cheer. From our family to yours have a wonderful holiday and a very blessed Yule.
Holiday Spice
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tbsp ground cloves
1/2 tbsp ground black pepper
