Today is August 1st, which marks the celebration of Lammas. This holiday celebrates the beginning of the annual wheat harvest and signifies the bounty summer has brought us, while heralding the coming of Autumn. As I walk through the wheat fields on my daily morning hikes with my dog, the sense of abundance and life is…
Winter Foraging Cookies
One of my favorite things about Winter is when you get those perfect, crisp days. The days when you can go for a hike in the snow-laden woods and breathe in air so cold it tightens your lungs. Now that I live in Germany, I get to experience those days so much more than I…

A Coven of Two
Welcome to The Tipsy Witch – a blog where two women share thoughts, tips, crafts, recipes, ideas, intentions, and wine. This is a space for exploration. A space to dabble and investigate. We’ll be up front, neither of us are practioners of Wicca (at least not yet). The Tipsy Witch was born more out of…
