This is one of those blog posts that I am actually planning
out in Word before posting, as opposed to just typing directly into the box. I
don’t want to forget anything important or mess up too badly!
Just the other day (which could be two days to a month ago),
I was thinking about my blog. I took a trip down memory lane, and I’d like to
revisit that with you all.
I started this blog in 2007, I believe, with the intention
of writing about magical properties of herbs, fruits, vegetables, etc. I did
that. I wanted to discuss sabbats and seasonally-appropriate recipes to help
celebrate the turning of the wheel of the year. I did that. I included some
recipes here and there, both referenced from other sites and my own creations.
Sweet. Another check mark on the to-do list.
What I never did, though, was take all of my recipe ideas
and sabbat celebration ideas and put it into a book. I meant to do that ages
ago. Oops.
I’ve actually worked
on this project several times. It has had different incarnations over the
years. I just never felt satisfied with what I was doing. Then, last year,
inspiration struck, and I hit upon what I wanted to do. I’m still in the
planning stages, so I don’t have a whole lot to tell you yet.
Maybe I’m just chronically bad at finishing projects; we’ll
see. That’s my mantra, always: “We’ll see.”
I am going to put some of my unemployment time and energy
into planning and organizing, and I’ll be testing a few things here and there,
but it’s going to be a lengthy process. I might suffer burnout. I might have to
come to you all for encouragement.
As for the blog, I have said all there is to say about
magical properties of ingredients, etc. That doesn’t mean I won’t have new
recipes and things to share in the future, however. I shan’t abandon my beloved
blog, but content may soon consist of test recipes and me begging for the sweet
release of death because I’m buried alive in recipes. Again, we’ll see.
Oh, and lest I completely forget: The project itself! I am
working on a book of days. A kitchen witch’s book of days, to be exact. There
will be information on magical properties, ideas for sabbats, and some other
rantings and ramblings of mine, but most importantly, it will be almost a
recipe a day. That’s a lotta recipes! I guess I’d better get back to my
planning!
Love to you all, and thank you for reading. I shall be in
touch shortly, I hope.
