how I make my weight loss tea blend

just posted a caffeine free version of this!

teas you need:

🍵 5 green tea bags (metabolism boosting)

🍵 5 oolong tea bags (fat burning)

🍵 4 rooibos tea bags (blocks formations of new fat cells)

🍵 4 earl grey tea bags (metabolism boosting)

🍵 3 ginger tea bags (helps with digestion and nausea)

🍵 3 peppermint tea bags (appetite suppressant/ adds flavor/ some say it’s a natural laxative? sounds fake but ok)

other teas you can add

🍵 white tea (blocks formation of new fat cells) -> I highly recommend adding this! I would have but I don’t have any at the moment

🍵 hibiscus tea (natural diuretic and helps w weight loss) -> if you care about the flavor more than the benefits then be careful about this because it will probably taste nasty mixed with the other teas because of its strong sweet flavor

instructions:

🌿 empty the tea bags into a ziplock bag/ tea storage container/ Tupperware/ any airtight storage thingy

🌿 recycle or compost the empty tea bags!! saving the planet is sexy

🌿 shake it up so that the teas are mixed together and so it looks like all one mixture

to prepare the tea:

🍃 I’m still trying to perfect this method but I think adding a bit less than a tablespoon to a tea ball strainer thing or empty tea bag is a good amount

🍃 then steep it for 4-6 minutes (but lmk if you try this and find that another amount/ steeping time works better)

🍃 remember that this contains caffeine so don’t drink too close to bedtime unless you know you can fall asleep with caffeine in your system!

🍃 voila! c’est fini!

How to build a garden with no money

It's a relatively modern problem, where you, a scrappy solarpunk with no money, want to begin a vegetable garden. The ground you have to work with is either dead as hell or flat out toxic or has no dirt at all. You want to build a raised bed but you have no money and the kits are expensive. There's a lot of ways to go about this, here's what I did: I built a wicker basket.

Step one: assemble your branches.

You want whippy ones at least 4' long, no thicker than two fingers, no thinner than a chopstick. Longer and bendier is better, but also get a bunch of thick stiff ones. I got mine from the Greenway near my lil condo, and from my neighbor's yards.

Protips: Wear gloves, because thorns. Carry clippers discretely, because people get nervous when they see sharp shiny things in your pocket. The branches in the above pic are one load of three, because that's how much I could carry.

Step two: hammer your stakes

(no pic for this part, sorry)

Take the thickest and straightest of your branches, and cut a length you want to be the height of your box plus a couple inches extra. Hammer them into the ground every 18" or so, and at each corner. Every side of your box must have at least three stakes.

Protip: if the ground is really hard, drive a hole ahead of the stick by hammering in a screwdriver.

Step three: get weaving

First weave your biggest branches in and out between the stakes. You can remove any leaves for free compost at this point.

Protip: this is the hardest part, so don't get discouraged! Here is also where you will find out of the stakes are thick enough or hammered in deep enough. Try not to cry if they fall over. Or break.

Step four: keep weaving

Now you put in the smaller branches. I found that long vine types like ivy and wild rose can be woven in more than one direction, so if you need to fill in some gaps you can get creative.

Protip: tamp down the walls you've made every so often do they stay nice and dense. They need to be closely woven enough to hold dirt later.

Step five: smaller, different weaving

By now you have gotten down to the sticks that aren't quite long enough to go between the stakes. Make them into smaller stakes, ones that don't go into the ground but nonetheless weave vertically through your box walls. Hey, it's starting to look more like a box!

Protip: break off the ends of the stakes and your new vertical weave so they don't have out too much, and WEAR YOUR GLOVES, don't be an idiot like me and think you're safe because you don't have thorns to deal with.

Step six: fill it with dirt.

If you have any budget, use it all here. Get good, organic dirt, get your compost bin empty, and be extra careful taking dirt from elsewhere if you don't know exactly what has been leaking into it.

Protip: get more dirt than you think you need. Dirt is fluffy. The second you get water on it all the air goes away and you have a three inches deep garden box. In the unlikely event that you get more dirt than you need, use it for your houseplants or porch containers.

And that's it! Plant what you like! Use the seeds you've stolen from other gardens and the insides of your daily fruit! If you've bothered your nosy neighbor and they have alerted the HOA or your landlord, take this time to brush up on your various rights. If your neighbor dislikes you because they believe you to be a witch and a lesbian and idk, a long haired hippy or some other deeply outdated derogatory term, get those middle fingers up because you are going to help the bees and they aren't.

Green can be very punk.

Okay so now you’re gonna witness an experiment! This is something I found out by being connected to a network of wise women. Basically I was in a community garden and a woman next to me spoke to me for the first time in my life and immediately unleashed unknown wisdom at my inexperienced lil mind.

She told me about storing of tomato sauce the way I’ve never heard of before!

This is what she advised me to do: Strain cut tomatoes to get juice without any skins or seeds, then put it on a gauze, with a big pot underneath, and leave it there for entire day. When you come back, the gauze will have thick tomato paste on it, and you can store it more easily in a small jar, using almost no space. Leftover water in the pot will be almost transparent. Then you can use just a little in recipes because it’s supposed to be watered down!

In all my online and book research I’ve never head of that before, so I was absolutely fascinated, and next time I was making salsa, I had a lot of tomato juice leftover, so that was the perfect opportunity to try this out.

This is what we’re working with here, a pot with tomato juice, another pot, and a gauze.

How do you attach a gauze to a pot? I decided my best bet was to use elastics.

But then I considered it again and added a stronger thread, just to be safe.

So next step is pouring that stuff in.

It took some time, because it wouldn’t fit at once, I had to wait a bit each time until some of the juice was drained down the gauze. Here is the end result.

And now, we put this in the fridge and leave it until tomorrow.

*sun goes down, and now it’s next morning*

It’s in there. I’m going to open it and see what happened.

That.. looks promising! (and yes that thing next to it is a freakishly large zucchini)

Ohh it’s so red and shiny, I love it!

And the liquid that remained, as promised, is almost transparent! It’s slightly yellow and tastes very good! Can be used in cooking.

So I went on to boil this for few minutes, just to be sure it’s sterilized.

I had several jars ready to see which one is the best fit. It was the tiniest one!

There’s so little of it! But it’s concentrated and tastes good. It can be used in small amounts to still give good tomato-y taste! I did go thru waterbathing process to make sure it’s sealed well. I’m gonna make an update in the winter if it was shelf-stable, because I’m honestly still lost if this canning process is gonna work out for me.

Now, the last but not least important question: What will happen to the gauze? I never used a gauze in this way, when I was a kid my mom just used gave it to us to blow our noses, which might not have been the correct use, but it’s what we did! Will I be able to clean the gauze properly, or will it forever be red, tomato-stained gauze now?

I took the gauze to the bathroom, and hand-washed it with some laundry detergent. The redness came off right away! My gauze is safe and will be used to make tomato paste again!

Fun little thing about medieval medicine.

So there’s this old German remedy for getting rid of boils. A mix of eggshells, egg whites, and sulfur rubbed into the boil while reciting the incantation and saying five Paternosters. And according to my prof’s friend (a doctor), it’s all very sensible. The eggshells abrade the skin so the sulfur can sink in and fry the boil. The egg white forms a flexible protective barrier. The incantation and prayers are important because you need to rub it in for a certain amount of time.

It’s easy to take the magic words as superstition, but they’re important.

The length of time it takes to say a paternoster was a typical method of reckoning time in the Middle Ages. It’s likely that whoever wrote this remedy down was thinking of it both as a prayer and a timespan and that whoever read it would have understood it the same way.

I wonder if this shows up in other historical areas besides medicine?

I ask because I have a very Italian, very Catholic friend who was once describing how she makes pizzelles. They’re cooked in a specific press, similar to a waffle iron, long enough to get light and crispy but not burnt, and in her own words: “I don’t know the exact time it takes to cook them in seconds, but I usually do either two Hail Mary’s or an Our Father and a Glory Be.”

I would be extremely surprised if medieval people didn’t use prayers while cooking. You don’t want to roast an egg for too long, have it explode, and get hot yolk in your eye. :P 

I know that church bells were definitely used as timekeepers. 

Before oven thermometers existed, one way to check the temperature of your oven was to stick your hand inside and recite an Our Father. The length of time before you snatch your hand out was timed by how far you’d gotten in the prayer. The shorter the time, the hotter the oven. So you knew that if you wanted a hot oven to bake bread, you wanted your hand out by “kingdom” (for example) but to slow cook a stew, you might want the oven cool enough to get to “trespasses”.

This popped up in “Nanny Ogg’s Cookbook” as well, though there the timing method wasn’t prayer but X verses of “Where Has All The Custard Gone?”

Other timing methods are “a while” (approx. 35 mins) and “a good while” (variable, up to 10 years, which the book suggests is a bit long to let batter rest before making pancakes…)

All absolutely standard, and also varied from region to region. The use of prayer was more common than most, since the Catholic church had a monopoly on… well, pretty much everything. And all the prayers were in Latin, and at a specific cadence, so the effect is similar to watching the second hand on a clock today.

it’s important to note that to the medieval people the prayers were important because of timekeeping AND god. like, i think as modern people we do tend to want it to be “just timekeeping, they weren’t just superstitious idiots, they had a good reasonable scientific reason!” but it’s also important to remember just how culturally steeped in a mystical religion they were, a relationship with christianity entirely unlike the modern relationship found in modern american culture even amongst the most religious people. i have no doubt that in the medieval mind, they were aware of the prayer being the time it took but also if there had BEEN another way to measure that time, the prayer would have been held to be preferable and important in its own right because of the importance of spiritual assistance in worldly things like bread-baking

Definitely, this is a great point! I was talking to somebody in the comments who was saying that medieval medicine was mostly bunkum because it involves spirituality, supposedly meaning it couldn’t also have logical basis behind it. But that’s a really modern way to see it. To the medieval worldview, those things aren’t contradictory. They’re part of each other. Think about how many medieval Christian scientists were monks, nuns, and priests.

*INHUMAN SCREECHING*

M Y    T I M E    H A S    C O M E

You guys don’t understand how excited it made me to read this post, I literally wrote my master’s thesis on this exact topic.

STORY TIME

Sometime in the 10th century in Anglo-Saxon England (for context, this is before the Norman Conquest and near-ish to the reign of Alfred the Great), a dude named Bald asked another dude name Cild to write a book. Not just any book. A leechbook, which was essentially the medieval version of WebMD for practicing doctors. BUT NOT JUST A LEECHBOOK. This leechbook was gonna be the damn Lamborghini of leechbooks. This thing was going to be split into two parts, the first dealing with external medicine and the second dealing with internal medicine—something that was unheard of at the time. It was going to be organized (head to toe, like all the good leechbooks were). It was gonna be nice (leather and vellum). It was gonna use all the best ideas (from all over the known world). And the whole thing was going to be written in Anglo-Saxon. Now, a few medical books had been compiled in Anglo-Saxon before, but none like this. This one was going to be EPIC. And it was—and still is.

Bald’s Leechbook (also goes by the more boring but more informative MS Royal 12 D XVIII over in the British Library) contains a lot of medical remedies. A lot of them rely on things like prayers and chants and odd charms, like one for a headache, which recommends plucking the eyes off a living crab, letting the crab back into the water, and wearing the eyes about your neck in a little sack until you feel better. However, it’s worth pointing out that the really wild remedies, the stuff that makes absolutely no freakin’ sense, is most often recommended to treat ailments that are hard to treat even today—migraines, toothaches, cancer. These things are really painful or deadly and, without modern medicine, almost impossible to treat. So are you going to make up some nonsense to make your client at least feel like they’re doing something, and hey, if it sort of works, it works? Of course you are. You want to help people. Even if it sounds crazy, what else are you going to do? You have to try something, and the people who are suffering are willing to try anything.

But there’s also things that make complete sense. To echo concepts that have been mentioned by commentators above, there is a recipe that calls for the recitation of the paternoster while boiling a honey-based salve meant to treat carbuncle. The book instructs the physician to bring it to a boil, and sing the paternoster three times, and remove it from the fire, and sing nine paternosters, and to repeat this process two more times. A century ago, historians read the use of the paternoster as a magical incantation, but today, most agree that in lieu of a stopwatch, the paternoster is just meant to make sure you don’t burn the honey.

BUT THAT ISN’T NEAR THE COOLEST THING.

Now, this book was compiled by a master physician (we don’t know if it was Cild himself or if Cild was the scribe for an unnamed author) who was compiling recipes that had been written down for some time, and had, as many things do, gone through various permutations over the years. Many came from Greece or the western Mediterranean, and had been adapted for local English horticulture and herbs. Some came from around what is now Germany, and some ideas came from farther away in the Middle East (King Alfred was a sickly king; some scholars believe that he had his physicians seek out cures from all over the world in an attempt to treat himself). But there is one recipe that has only ever been identified in England. Not only has this recipe only ever been identified in England, it’s only ever been identified in this one manuscript. When translated into modern English, it reads as follows:

For those who don’t know and/or are lucky enough to have never had one, a “wen” or a stye is a bacterial infection that manifests like a boil or a cyst that on the eyelid. They hurt something awful, and can cause larger infections of the eye. They are usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus. 

With me? Okay. Fast-forward to 1988. A former biologist turned historian called M.L. Cameron decides to take a look at this old medical leechbook to see what he can see. He takes a good look and says “Lads I do believe these Anglo-Saxon leeches weren’t nearly so daft as we thought they were” (he did not and probably would never actually say that, I’m paraphrasing). Cameron was particularly interested in the recipe above. As a scientist, he knew a few things:

What an interesting find.

Fast-forward again to 2015. A paper is published by a team from the University of Nottingham, who’ve been working on an ‘Ancientbiotics’ project to investigate ancient medical remedies and see if they actually work. They’ve turned their sights to the Anglo-Saxons, and are, as was Cameron, particularly interested in this recipe for an eye salve. Without boring you with the finer details of the experiment and its various trials (read it yourself!) I will spoil the ending by telling you that they discovered a few things:

Now, as an advocate for modern medicine and sound scientific method, I’m not about to say that we should go throwing this salve on everything in 2019, because it is, if anything, just a starting point for modern scientists. This salve is still incredibly crude by modern standards and comes with a lot of potential problems. But as a historian… it works, you guys, it really works.

Medieval physicians were not idiots. They believed in magic, they believed in all things supernatural, they believed in all those things that are ‘unreasonable’ or unpopular today, and they practiced them too. But they also interacted with the real world with brains and intellects as sharp if not sharper than yours and mine. They were smart, they studied, they talked to each other in Latin and Greek and Arabic and Anglo Saxon. They made old recipes better and came up with brand new ones. They tried dumb stuff and they tried smart stuff. They didn’t have access to even the smallest fraction of the information we have at our fingertips today, and yet they created things like this. 

To this day, no one knows who created the eyesalve recipe. And no one truly understands why this is the only copy of it. If it worked so well, why isn’t it plastered to the headings of every medical textbook from Alfred to Victoria? Speaking personally, I would argue that it has to do with language. Not so long after Bald’s Leechbook was written, the French invaded England and took over. Latin and French became the language of the court, and while Anglo-Saxon lived on throughout the country, and certainly lay doctors would have used Anglo-Saxon books daily, the language of formal English medical education was Latin. Oxford and Cambridge were late to the medical ed game after Salerno, Bologna, Paris, and Montpellier, and naturally fell in step with continental schools as a result, using Latin almost exclusively, and sometimes Greek or Arabic. 

Point being, by the time medical licenses and medical college degrees are a thing in England, not only does almost no one of university-eligible class speak Anglo-Saxon anymore, no one has use for those Old English texts, because they don’t get you your degree, and you can’t make a living as a doctor without a degree and doctor’s license. And no one’s going to translate an old Anglo Saxon text into Latin when Avicenna’s newest old hit, now in Latin, is fresh off the boat from France.

All that to say:  Never write something off because it’s old. 1,000 years is a long time ago, but human ingenuity and intelligence are hardly modern inventions. The science of the world hasn’t changed; only our tools and our perspective.

THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT WHEN I SAY THAT MAGIC AND SCIENCE FOLLOW THE SAME IMPETUS

I came across this article in the wall street journal and thought it might be helpful for some of my fellow spoonies

Upright Is Right #42

This hack is simple. Avoid stacking items and instead store them upright when you can. 

Think of a bookshelf and how simple it is to get each book in and out of its place due to the books being upright. Now imagine that all those books were instead in stacks. If you want the books at the bottom of the stacks you have to pick up all of the books above. The upright organising method just makes more sense. Applying this to your kitchen makes even more sense. Many items in the kitchen are heavy (plates, metal cooking equipment, wood chopping boards) and so picking up multiple to get to the bottom of a stack isn’t always easy for a spoonie (especially when we need to do this for a few items needed for a meal, then put them all back again). There’s no need to be doing this when we can just store things upright. It also often saves space too :)

Plates, cooking trays, cutting boards, pot lids, food storage lids, and more can easily be stood upright. You can buy racks designed to hold flat kitchen items. Plate cradles are also an option but only work with round items like plates and cooking pot lids. These options are usually designed to fit inside a cupboard and even save space. Tubs, baskets, or even a magazine file can be good for flat items (aside from fragile things such as plates). Pots and pans often come with a hole in the handle so that you can hang them. Pots and pans are quite heavy, especially when stacked so I love that they do this. 

I’m sure there’s even more that I am forgetting but you get the picture. Avoiding stacking your items can save you a few spoons every day. You’ll likely notice the difference too.

Accessible Clothing: Feminine Items #64

Here we will focus on accessible feminine clothing items.

Let’s start with bras. It’s no secret that many spoonies really struggle with bras. Many even give up bras as they find that they aren’t worth the hassle. So here are some alternate options that help with getting them on and/or comfort.

Front fastening bras:

Front fastening bras are much easier to get on and fasten for most. These are especially good for people with limited arm motion range. I have seen them use the traditional hook fastening as well as instead using a zipper.

Comfort bras:

The name says it all really. There are different types of comfort bras to suit your needs. Remember that you can buy a lot of different styles and designs that can look cute and/or sexy. A comfortable bra does not equal an ugly bra.

Bralettes:

Bralettes are basically bras without any metal (and often padding too). They are considered very comfortable but not very supportive for people who really need it. They’re getting quite popular now and can have much more detail than regular bras which I know some spoonies would like. They are somewhat considered socially acceptable to be visible or even used as a loungewear top which is good for spoonies who struggle with heat. Thanks to  bouquetchildotn for reminding me of this. I was actually wearing just a bralette as I wrote this and thought that would remind me to include it :’)

Skirts: Skirts are good for anyone who struggles to reach their lower legs/feet. They are easier to place your feet into than trousers, and when you go to the toilet you can lift a skirt which saves you reaching for your ankles.

Dresses, jumpsuits, and playsuits: These things are great for many of us. They are a whole outfit in one. There are all sorts of types and fits. A loose/flowy fit is super easy to put on and doesn’t need to have any tight or constricting areas. You can have a thin fabric that keeps you super cool in the summer, and you can get thicker options for when the weather is cold.

Do you think I’ve missed something? Let me know!

rice water toner🌾

I’ve been meaning to share this recipe not only for its magical properties, but  because it’s honestly changed my skin in ways no store-bought toner has

rice is associated with mother-type deities and feminine energy. it can be used in spells for protection, wealth and blessings. when applied to the skin as rice water, it has anti-inflammatory and brightening properties

keep it in the fridge and apply with a cotton pad after the shower, it feels so so good. on lazy days i’ll just use this as my face cleanser, but keep in mind I have fairly normal skin🌜

Materials

·      organic white/jasmine/basmati rice·      bowl·      water·      container

Steps

·      add a handful of rice to the bowl and rinse it first, disposing of the water

·      add your desired amount of water to the bowl and set aside

·      let it soak for 1-3 hours and bottle the water in a separate container, then refrigerate (the rice can still be used for cooking)

·      optional add-ins: rose petals, lavender, calendula flowers 🥀

disclaimer: patch test and research for allergies

Witch Tips

This just might be my old soul, but knitting has helped me immensely in practice and is really worth the investment. You can:

-Knit charm bags instead of buying them (Seriously you will save so much money because yarn is dirt cheap and you can get so many colors for different intents.)

-Use yarn instead of ribbon for ribbon magic (It might not be as aesthetically pleasing, but it works)

-Knit scarves and mittens and hats with charged yarn (Or you can charm the yarn with whatever intent you want!! I have a few enchanted scarves already for protection from the cold!)

-I don’t use a wand so this might be wrong?? (I’m still a bit of a baby witch) but i’m sure if you’re a wand or pointer type, your knitting needles can probably be used for that in a pinch (And it doesn’t look weird when you tote them around.)

It’s also pretty good for those of you in the broom closet because it’s a method of practicing in public (Which helps me with my anxiety? Idk about some of you but it does with me) and it doesn’t look as conspicuous. When people ask what you’re knitting, you can just say ‘A scarf’ or ‘Baby booties’ or just hit them up with the old ‘I don’t even really know yet, I’m just practicing!’ Plus!!! Knitting is a therapeutic practice in itself which makes it DOUBLE therapeutic!

Hey, fellow neurodivergent crowd! Are you someone who’s got sensory problems with hand creams, but who needs hand creams because dry icky winter air? I found a shop on Etsy that sells hand cream that doesn’t feel greasy or sticky, AND that sells sampler packs so you can figure out what scents aren’t going to bug you!

HappyHandsStore features handmade hand cream originally designed for people who make fiber crafts, because they don’t want greasy goopy hand cream getting on their projects. But I tell you now, it is kind of perfect for people who need something light-but-nourishing that doesn’t trip ‘icky-feel’ sensations. Margaret, the store owner, will also sub out scents from a sampler that you KNOW are bad; I got the 32-scent pack and asked her to replace a couple of the florals that would probably trip my gender bullshit, which she was totally okay with.

Current favorite scents: Soft Cotton, Shetland (milk and honey), Sugared Tea, Snow Bear (frosty mint and moss)

I’m just saying, I’m kind of in awe of this product and will likely be ordering Big Bottles to get me through the winter.

And holy shit they’re cheap

OH DANG

unscented options are available too

A Witch’s Advice to Both the Spiritual and Non-Spiritual

First of all, no, I’m not here to force my beliefs or practice on to you. You don’t have to believe in what I’m doing for this to apply to you. What I’m trying to do is offer advice anyone can take.

However, this does stem from something I learned in my practice. Witches use BoS (Book of Shadows) and Grimoires to record any little thing they learn, be it a spell, divination tips, efficiency tips, etc etc.

So it got me thinking.

Each and every one of us learns cool little tiny tricks all of the time. Be it from shows, books, videos, friends, people in certain fields of work, or wherever else you pick up things.

But nobody ever records these things. Half of the things you learn end up getting lost. So, why not keep a journal just for keeping track of helpful little tips and tricks of anything in our lives? I feel like this would be super helpful for anyone, especially my nuerodivergent mutuals.

Wanna cook? Go check out what little tips you’ve been given.

Going to a party? Flip to the party tricks section.

Have to clean something? You guessed it.

The point is, we should be recording our knowledge. You would be surprised just how much cool things you forget in your life. If every other kind of knowledge gets into books, why not these? They make life more fun, easier, and they bring a nice finish to anything you’re doing.

These are reusable hand warmers. I got them from Amazon. I think they are a great spoonie hack.

I use them for blood draws and ivs. 

Recently, I used it on my arm and the nurse got the iv in one shot!

It is amazing because the nurses usually tell me that I literally have one vein.

The heat makes the veins pop. If you have a hard time with blood draws or ivs, I suggest looking into reusable hand warmers.

I don’t like the hot hands because I have a hard time shaking it to activate. These have a little metal disk in them and you snap it a couple times and they are hot. 

I re-wrote Teas for Witches: the Basics. Here is the new, far improved version. 

As you can see, my views on tea magic have changed in the past couple of years.

Witchtip: Magical Inspiration

You ever have a magical dry spell? Where you maybe wanna write some spells, you’ve got the itch to witch, but no real inspiration? I do. Frequently. So here are some magical brainstorming ideas.
