🍑🍂 Cinnamon Apricot Tea 🍂🍑

Sweet apricot, warming cinnamon, and golden calendula come together in a beautiful caffeine-free blend that tastes like autumn sunshine in a cup.

Cozy without being heavy, fruity without being overly sweet—it’s perfect for cool mornings, quiet afternoons, and evenings curled up under your favorite blanket.

Available now at The Apothecary & Tea Blending Bar. Come smell this one for yourself—it is absolutely lovely!

I saw a life hack on a reel about a week ago, that suggested for the insanely itchy ears that women often develop during perimenopause and menopause, an effective treatment is Flonase on a Q-tip gently swabbed within the ear canal. Happy to announce it works like a charm. I have suffered from itchy ears for probably 15 years now this is the only thing that has ever worked. Who knew?

May this Sunday bring rest to your bones, peace to your spirit, and gratitude to your heart.

May the sun warm what has grown cold, the earth steady what feels uncertain, and the coming week unfold with gentle magic.
A Sunday Ritual to Bless the Coming Week 🌿

You’ll need:

- A candle
- A small bowl of water
- A pinch of salt
- A favorite herb, flower, or crystal

Light the candle and take three slow breaths. Add the salt to the water, then gently stir it clockwise while saying:

“By flame and water, earth and air,
I bless the week unfolding there.
May peace walk with me,
may wisdom guide me,
and may what is meant for me
find its way with ease.”

Hold your herb, flower, or crystal and name one intention for the week ahead.

Dip your fingertips into the water and lightly touch your forehead, heart, and hands.

“Clear in thought.
Steady in spirit.
Blessed in all that I create.”

Let the candle burn safely for a few moments, then extinguish it with gratitude.

The week is blessed.

Blessed be. 🌿✨

You asked for a little more...✨ A Small Spell to Set the Week in the Right Direction ✨

On a small piece of paper, write one word for how you want this week to feel—peaceful, productive, abundant, joyful, protected.

Place it beneath your tea and hold the warm mug between your hands. Take three slow breaths, then say:

“With steady heart and purpose clear,
I welcome all that serves me here.
My path is open, my spirit is strong—
This week shall move in the right direction.”

Sip slowly, fold the paper toward you, and carry it in your pocket or purse throughout the week. 🌿
Blessed Be

Good morning! Now as cooler weather nears, it is time to start thinking of Autumn/Winter wellness.

🌿 MAKE YOUR OWN ELDERBERRY SYRUP 🌿

We have the essentials waiting for you at The Apothecary:

🫐 Dried elderberries
🍯 Raw, local wildflower honey from Brightside Farm

A very important elderberry reminder: always use properly identified, fully ripe dried elderberries—and dried elderberries must still be thoroughly cooked before consuming.

Drying does not remove every naturally occurring cyanide-producing compound. Never eat dried elderberries straight from the bag, and never use elderberry leaves, stems or unripe berries in your syrup.

A simple method:

1 part dried elderberries
4 parts water

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for at least 30 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by approximately half. Strain thoroughly and discard the berries. Allow the liquid to cool until warm—not hot—then stir in raw local wildflower honey to taste.

Pour into a clean jar and refrigerate immediately. Homemade elderberry syrup is perishable and is not shelf-stable.

⚠️ Never give honey or products containing honey to a child under 12 months.
✨ Prefer to leave the simmering to us? Fresh elderberry syrup is also available by special order. Message us or stop by The Apothecary to place your order.

Stop by The Apothecary for dried elderberries and beautiful raw, local wildflower honey—everything you need to make a fresh batch at home. 💜

Hi friends! I have to tell you my witchy little self is feeling the need to cast a little. Any of you feel the same? Let's do a little magic...

Yes—let’s make this feel like autumn itself: grounding, grateful, a little mysterious, and focused on releasing what’s finished so your next season has room to grow. 🍂

Autumn Threshold Spell
You’ll need:
An orange, brown, or white candle
A fallen leaf
Cinnamon
Rosemary
A small bowl
A piece of paper
On one side of the paper, write:
"I release what has completed its season."
Underneath, name whatever you’re ready to put down—an old fear, habit, disappointment, resentment, or expectation.
Turn the paper over and write:
"I welcome the wisdom, abundance, and transformation this new season brings."

Place the paper in the bowl and lay the fallen leaf on top. Sprinkle it lightly with cinnamon for warmth and prosperity and rosemary for clarity and protection.
Light the candle and say:
"As green turns gold and daylight grows small,
I honor the season and welcome the fall.
What has grown heavy, I willingly release.
What still nourishes me, I gather in peace.
Like roots beneath earth, I strengthen unseen—
Resting, becoming, and growing between.
With gratitude offered and intentions made clear,
I cross this threshold without fear."
Sit quietly and imagine the old energy falling away like leaves from a tree. When you’re ready, tear the paper in half, separating the release from the intention.
Safely burn or bury the release portion. Keep the intention beneath the candle or carry it with you until the first day of winter.
And because every spell deserves a little real-world magic, choose one physical thing to clear away afterward—a cluttered drawer, an overdue task, or something you’ve been keeping out of guilt.
Make room for what autumn is bringing. 🍁✨BLESSED BE
