☀️Beltane honey-lemon vanilla madeleines ☀️

These are perfect for tea (I recommend making sun tea) or a small treat, and great as small gifts for others.

You'll need:

3 eggs

½ cup plus 3 tablespoons caster sugar (superfine sugar)

1 cup plain flour (all-purpose flour)

pinch of fine salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

zest of 1 lemon

1 tsp of vanilla extract (empowering and good fortune)

1 tsp of lemon extract (cleansing and purification)

1 tablespoon of natural honey (to bring sweet people into your lives, and prosperity)

150 g (1 ⅓ stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

butter and flour (or non-stick baking spray) to grease the madeleine mold

A madeleine mold/pan

How to make:

In a large bowl, or the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is thick and pale yellow. This step should take 1-2 minutes using an electric stand-mixer, or a bit longer if you are whisking by hand. Remember your intentions when stirring counter clockwise and clockwise!

Add the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined.

Next add the lemon zest, extracts, and melted butter.

Continue whisking until you have a thick and smooth batter.

Leave the batter to rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350

Generously grease the madeleine mould with butter, even if it is non-stick. Another option is to use a non-stick baking spray.

Fill each madeleine mould until about 3/4 full, either with a spoon or with a piping bag filled with the batter.

Bake until the madeleine cakes have risen and are lightly golden on top. For large madeleine moulds similar to that pictured, this should take about 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven.

Remove the madeleine pan from the oven, and wait a few minutes before carefully removing the cakes from the moulds.

Leave the cakes to cool on a wire rack (the ridge-side facing down), and serve them warm or cold.

Here’s a quick little inforgraphic I put together on numbers in Tarot!

When I was just a baby Tarot reader still learning how to read the cards, I found it helpful to learn about the numbers in Tarot and how they can have similar meanings. By learning how numbers relate and progress I was able to learn the Minor Arcana quicker and with more accuracy.

If you’re just starting out with Tarot, take some time to do a deeper dive into the numbers and what they mean! It truly helps out with the learning process 🔮

hm, i feel like there’s a big problem when we try to visualize a sort of “solarpunk”-like society where we assume that every place a gonna be a grassy, tree-fillled, green city and that’s like fine and all but it’s very inauthentic to the diverse landscapes of our planet. for example, i live in southern california and ive seen trees and grass but i’ve also seen desert with cacti and bushes and dry land. when we associate our future, our “progress”, with a certain landscape we are not treating the land with the respect it deserves. deserts, plains, mountains, marshes are all apart of the world we live in and we need to invision a future with those lands too

also with all this in mind, a lot of this aesthetic and line of thinking can be damaging to indigenous communities. thinking the desert is just “empty space” and thinking the plains should be replaced with forests go hand-in-hand with colonialist ideology. no land is empty land, it is always someone’s home. we need to make space for indigenous people in our solarpunk, cottagecore, vegan, etc. ideologies if we ever want to truly make progress and not perpetuate the same shit with a different brand on it
