Recipe: Bone broth

Ingredients:

  • vegetable scraps, chicken scraps and bones
  • 4tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 small ginger root, chopped into smallish pieces (about a handful)

Process:

Pile as many vegetable scraps, meat scraps, and bones as will fit in your crock pot.

Fill the pot with water, add the vinegar, and let it sit for an hour in the cold pot.

While you’re chopping the ginger, speak your intentions for the broth. Say “you will be delicious and nourishing,” or “you will make me feel good about myself” or some similar intention.

Add the intentioned ginger, and then run the crock pot for twelve hours on the lowest cook setting. (If your crock pot has a “warm” setting, don’t use that. That’s not a cook setting.)

Strain the bones and vegetables out of the broth when it’s done. If you are using chicken bones, you can probably make another pot or two of broth with the same bones. If you’re using beef or pork, you can probably make another three or four pots with the same bones.

Uses:

Use this as a base for sauce, rice, pasta, or soup

Perform this glamour magick spell daily:

Pour hot bone broth into a coffee mug, and add a spoonful of God is Love Vinegar. Stir the broth and vinegar with a spoon while chanting:

Love, love, love for my body
Love, love, love for myself
love, love, love I'm ingesting
love, love, love for my health

Drink it when it’s cool enough.

Recipe: Ouroboros Vinegar

Updated on 3/29/2021: I’ve updated this recipe after a few months of experimentation. I think I’ve come up with a pretty solid basic recipe.

This vinegar is called Ouroboros for two reasons: 1. its ingredients are all recycled (the alcohol is left over from offerings to my spiritual court and the apple cores are left over from my minister’s offerings to himself) and 2. a critical ingredient, God is Mother, creates itself.

Ingredients:

  • 6 apple cores (or two apples cut into pieces or an analogous amount of fruit scraps)
  • 2 cups of water
  • 100mL (two shots) of rum or vodka
  • 50mL of God is Mother (or 1/2 cup of raw unpasteurized apple cider vinegar)

Process:

Add all ingredients to a mason jar. There should be enough liquid to cover the fruit. Cover the mouth of the jar with cheesecloth and secure with a rubber band to keep out pests.

After two weeks, remove the cheesecloth, strain out and discard the solids, and add the liquid back to the jar. Cover again with the cheesecloth.

Check the vinegar after 4 more weeks (it may take up to 3 months to fully convert), taste the vinegar for acidity.

Strain out the mother and keep it in a jar labeled “God is Mother” before bottling the vinegar. Start using the vinegar immediately, or age the vinegar for a year or more to mellow the flavors.

Recipe adapted from this source: DIY Pantry Staple: How To Make Fruit Vinegar

Uses:

  • use in any spell or recipe that requires white vinegar or apple cider vinegar

Observation:

I’ve poured all my experiments into a half gallon mason jar. I strained out the mother before I poured it, but another thinner mother formed in the half gallon jar.

This vinegar is SHARP. The sharpness doesn’t bother me, as I mostly don’t plan to consume any of it, but I understand that the longer you leave it alone, the less sharp it becomes.

Recipe: God is Love Vinegar

Ingredients:

  • apple cider vinegar
  • orange peel
  • cinnamon
  • rosemary
  • parchment paper
  • sigil
  • jar

Process:

Put orange peel, cinnamon, and rosemary into a jar, and then fill up the jar with apple cider vinegar. Cover the top of the jar with parchment paper. This is important, as it will prevent the vinegar from corroding the lid of the jar. Set (or draw) a sigil on the parchment paper before putting on the lid. Put the jar away for at least one moon cycle.

Uses:

  • Add hot water and honey for a health tonic
  • Add to cosmetic mixes for glamour magic
