A Witch’s Tea

 A Witch’s Tea

Tea in the Witch Wood to be taken at four

If the sun does shine or the rain does pour!

Toadstool sandwiches sliced like a dream,

Brown boiled acorns and fairy cream.

Hawthorn berry jam on mandrake leaves,

Spiced dark tea all under the trees.

And if there’s room, do not forsake

at least one slice of full moon cake!

Hail and Farewell

Patricia Crowther, Gardnarian High Priestess, Occultist, and probably the oldest Elder of the Craft, passed through the Veil on September 24th, 2025.

I met her many years ago at a shop that unfortunately no longer exists, The Magical Forest, in Pembroke Pines, Florida. I held hands with her and was amazed by her energy. I feel blessed to have had that experience.

We are all older than once we were. Hail and Farewell, Patricia. I am honored to have met you.

Blessings dark and deep.
