I Felt Disrespected From The Crossfire. I Think There Were A Lot Of Causalities From This...shame On

I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)

Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)

Honor the Earth (?)

Nett Lake Wild Rice (Anishinaabe)

Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

BONUS: coffee :)

Yeego Coffee (Navajo)

Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)

Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)

Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)

In Louisiana, we have roadside markets where they sell fruit and vegetables, sometimes honey. In the metropolitan areas, we have corner stores but I barely go to them though.

Obsessed with how people in NYC think nowhere else has corner stores

Back from the dead a.k.a. college

After what felt like an eternity I´m finally done with college and ready to go back at what I love so much. This sigil represents that will and determination to start new and don´t let go of my dreams. 

I also have an instagram now (finally), you can find me here,  or narianoir89  I´ll be posting regularly there and here, so I´m excited!

Lavender Tea Bread

(recipe from ‘Mom’s a Witch’ -blog)

Ingredients: ¾ cup milk 2 Tbsp. dried lavender flowers, finely chopped, or 3 Tbsp. fresh chopped flowers 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 ½ tsp. baking powder ¼ tsp. salt 6 Tbsp. butter, softened 1 cup sugar 2 large eggs

How to:

Grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat milk with lavender almost to a boil, then steep until cool. Mix flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. In another bowl cream butter and gradually add sugar, then eggs, one at a time, beating until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture alternately with lavender milk, in three parts. Mix until batter is just blended, do not overbeat. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool. When completely cool, drizzle with a simple sugar glaze or sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar. Garnish with sprigs of fresh lavender.

Properties: Lavender- Sleep, long life, peace, wishes, protection, love, purification, visions, attracting men, clarity of thought. 

They would play the craft before a full moon, not that I'm complaining.
