The Witches' Journal: Witchwood Estate Collectables, #1
()
About this ebook
A fun little book to help you find your inner witch. Recipes, spells, birthstones, witchcraft terminology, candles, flowers, poetry, broom history, animal familiars, tea leaf reading, and more.
In fairy-tales of long ago, witches dressed in flowing black gowns, wore pointy hats, and flew around on broomsticks at night. By the light of the silvery moon, they would steal little children from their beds...
I'm sure some still do, but know this – not all witches have pointy noses, warts and eat small children. Some are just ordinary people, men, and women, who happen to believe there is magic in this world. The Witches' Journal (book 1) is a fun collection of lots of all things magical from a coven of whimsical folk. We hope you enjoy the words and pictures contained within these pages. Blessed are those who carry kindness and love in their hearts, for they shall always have magic in their lives!
I believe, so mote it be.

The Witches' Journal - Patti Roberts
CHAPTER 1 - THE MUST HAVE WITCH LIST.
Moral Code.
Many witches abide by a moral code – The Witches’ Rede. An it harm none, do what ye will.
It simply means, as long as you do no harm to others, no harm shall be done to you. And - The Rule of Three or Three-fold Law, the Law of Return. The rule states that whatever energy a person puts out into the world, be it positive or negative, will be returned to that person times three.
So be wise witches, young and old. Be kind, and always follow your heart.
A broom. Large or small.
Candle in a variety of colors – see candle section in this book.
A pantry full of herbs. Some of these you will be able to grow in your own garden.
Incense sticks.
Oils.
Crystals – see crystal section in this book.
Charcoal discs.
Matches.
An old china tea cup and saucer.
Crystal ball.
Journal for your spells, thoughts, poetry and recipes.
A nice pen – which is mightier than the sword.
Chimes and dream catchers to entice the wee folk.

Pretty bangles.
At least one pair of black shoes or boots.
A black hat or scarf.
A favorite pillow.
Charms.
Little bottles of all shapes, colors and sizes.

A good heart.

Refreshing Cucumber Salad. (Paleo & Vegan)
Cucumbers are well known for healing many skin conditions, puffy eyes and sunburn. They contain ascorbic and caffeic acids which aids in preventing water loss in the body. Cucumber is frequently applied directly to burns and dermatitis for their healing qualities. Their scientific name is Cucumis sativus. They belong to the same family as zucchinis, pumpkins, watermelons and other varieties of squash.
Yields: 4 servings
Ingredients:
1½ large continental cucumbers
1 tsp Salt
4 green onions
2 Tbsps. fresh coriander - chopped
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp lemon zest
1/8 tsp cracked Pepper
1. Slice cucumber in thin strips. Sprinkle with salt and place in a colander for 1 hour.
2. Rinse cucumber thoroughly to remove salt. Drain cucumber on paper towels or tea towel and dry completely.
3. Slice the onions and finely chop coriander. Zest lemon.
Add onions, coriander, lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil and cracked pepper then stir to combine ingredients.
4. Pour the dressing over the prepared cucumber, then stir and serve.
Serve as an appetizer or as a side dish to accompany with a piece of grilled fish or chicken on a summers day.
This salad can be refrigerated overnight. Make sure to stir before serving to redistribute the dressing evenly over the cucumber slices.

Witches Finger Fries. (Paleo & Vegan)
Carrots, not just rabbit food.
Some of the health benefits of carrots include reducing cholesterol, preventing heart attacks, warding off of certain cancers, improving your vision, and reducing the signs of premature aging by increasing the health of your skin. They boost your immune system, improve digestion, increase cardiovascular health, detoxify the body, and boost oral health. They also provide an abundance of vitamins and minerals. Add carrots to your juices and salads. Cut into finger lengths and use instead of crackers for your dip.
Ingredients
Carrots (about 10 to12 medium carrots)
1½ tbsp. olive oil or coconut oil
1 tsp sea salt – toss a pinch over your right shoulder for insight.
½ tsp pepper – toss a pinch over your left shoulder for inspiration.
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp thyme
Instructions
1. Turn the oven up to 400. Wash carrots and peel them (peeling is optional if you use organic carrots). Cut the carrots into even sticks (finger size) that are roughly 4 inches long and about ½ inch thick.
2. Put the cut carrots into a bowl and drizzle with oil, then sprinkle the salt, pepper, herbs and spices on top.
3. Place the carrots on a tray lined with baking paper. Make sure the carrots are evenly spaced out and not stacked on top of each other.
4. Put the carrots in the oven and bake for about 25 – 35 minutes. Have a cup of tea – or a glass of wine and check carrots after 15 minutes. Move the
