Rose Chocolate Scottish Shortbread

January 17, 2021 By Ruthie Hayes Leave a Comment

Some of the best things to come out of my kitchen have been happy accidents or spur of the moment enhancements of recipes (they're just "suggestions" anyway, right?).  I was powdering some rose petals for a percolation, and an electuary, when I got a craving for shortbread. I tried to ignore it, but...SHORTBREAD. Fine.  I threw the ingredients in the mixer and set the oven on preheat. While I was rummaging through the cupboards, I saw a bag of mini chocolate chips and threw a handful of them … [Read more...]

I’ve been kinda quiet on here lately (because life), but somehow, we’ve made it to April, and Bealtaine is on the horizon- my most favorite of the Celtic festivals (by a narrow margin over Samhain). The Bealtaine Gathering Box is always all about hawthorn and the sensual, fiery magic of Sacred Union. Swipe to see what will be in this year’s box!
.
❣️My heart opening cordial, Anam Cara
.
🕯Hand dipped beeswax tapers rolled in hawthorn leaf + flower (a set of two will be included)
.
🌸Bealtaine Maiden face mask with powdered hawthorn berry, leaf, and flower, lavender, rose, and French green clay
.
....and I’m toying with the idea of adding one other thing, but haven’t decided yet. A hawthorn electuary maybe? Keep an eye out here for more updates!
.
Tentative release date: Friday April 16th. Mark your calendars!

If you’re looking for another way to stay grounded in these changing times, the new Spring Equinox module of @sharonblackiemythmakings Sisters of Rock + Root is now up. I’ve written a booklet on how I connect with the energy and medicines of the land with each season, including herbal recipes for food and medicine, personal stories, journaling prompts, and simple meditations and rituals. 

If my seasonal Gathering Boxes have sparked an interest in you to learn more about the myth and medicine of the Celtic year, then you will really enjoy Sisters of Rock & Root. It's a revolving course that you can do at your own pace, and you can sign up anytime throughout the year. See more in Sharon's description below:
. .
'Sisters of Rock and Root is a unique year-long self-study online course: an experience for those who want to delve deeply into wild myth and archetypes. You’ll work with story to connect with the cycles and seasons of the year, and the themes associated with them as they arise in your own life. In this course, myth is matched with medicine. Herbal recipes and land-based meditations for each season will encourage you to connect with the medicine of the land, and especially of herbs and plants, in a grounded, rooted way.'

My annual March 17 post... 💚 I hope that we ca My annual March 17 post...
💚  I hope that we can find a way to celebrate our Irish heritage today that doesn’t perpetuate negative stereotypes or rip open tender ancestral wounds. I hope that we can reclaim this day from the drunken cartoon it has become. I hope that we can reconnect with a deeper, truer sense of what it means to have Irish blood. I hope that we can collectively re-instill the divine feminine in our lives and return to tending the sacred wells. I hope that we can relearn the stories of the old gods and goddesses of our ancestors, fearing and loving this wild, animate landscape as they did, and I hope that this relearning sparks a deep remembering in you that cannot be extinguished. 💚 .

According to the annals of my Facebook memories, i According to the annals of my Facebook memories, it’s been 2 whole years since I last set foot in Ireland. Every time I go, I leave a piece of myself there and bring a bit of Ireland back with me. So last spring, when I was a week away from getting on a plane to embark on my third trip, the world came to a screeching halt, and I was heartbroken to have to cancel.
.
During my last visit (the previous year), I went on a little solo pilgrimage of sorts and found myself in this stone circle during a hurricane. One of the best Slightly Irresponsible And Maybe A Little Terrifying Things I’ve ever done. Life was about to change drastically and traumatically, and the medicine I received from the stones that day was something that helped me navigate the roughest times.
.
We all have our own stories and so does the land. When you open yourself up to hearing them and weaving them into your own stories, that’s where the medicine lies.

In keeping with the rhythm of the seasons, I’m working on my Spring Equinox newsletter. If you’re interested in what I’ve been up to at Mother Hylde HQ and what I’m working towards, there’s a signup link in my bio.
.
My newsletters are a little bit personal blog, a little bit “buy my stuff”, and this one will have one of my favorite spring nettle recipes in it as well as a little poem I wrote for this season of unfurling.
.
I’m also including a coupon code in there for 25% all hydrosols and oxymels in my shop, so you might wanna get on that. 💖
