🍯 Honeyed Oat Cakes for Mabon
A simple, sacred recipe to honor gratitude, balance, and the turning of the seasonal wheel.
🌾 About the Recipe
Mabon, the Autumn Equinox, is a time of balance and thanksgiving — when light and dark are equal, and we give thanks for the harvest. These Honeyed Oat Cakes celebrate that moment with the comforting aroma of oats, cinnamon, and golden honey — humble ingredients that have nourished hearths for centuries.
Each bite is a reminder of ancestral kitchen magic — simple, real, and blessed with intention.
This recipe is featured in The Witch’s Almanac Cookbook (2026 Edition) by A.L. Childers, as part of the “Wheel of the Year” collection of seasonal recipes, rituals, and reflections.
🕯️ Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free blend, if preferred)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ cup unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
- ½ cup raw honey (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Optional: ¼ cup finely chopped nuts or dried fruit (raisins, dates, or cranberries)
🔥 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk together melted butter (or oil), honey, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until fully combined. If the dough feels too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of warm water.
- Fold in nuts or fruit if desired.
- Scoop tablespoons of dough onto your baking sheet and flatten slightly into small rounds.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
- Remove and allow to cool slightly. Drizzle with warm honey while whispering a blessing for gratitude and balance.
🌿 Kitchen Witchery: The Mabon Blessing Spell
Before serving, take a moment to light a candle in gold or green — colors of harvest and abundance. As you drizzle honey over your oat cakes, say aloud (or whisper softly):
“For balance, for bounty, for blessings untold,
May these cakes bring warmth as the year turns cold.
With honey of heart and oats of the land,
I give my thanks with an open hand.”
Serve these cakes with apple cider, warm tea, or mulled wine as an offering to your ancestors — or to enjoy by candlelight as the equinox sun sets.
🌕 Moonlight Lentil Stew
A soothing, slow-cooked spell for calm, clarity, and emotional renewal.
🪄 About the Recipe
The Moonlight Lentil Stew is a gentle, grounding dish created for nights when the world feels heavy and the spirit needs stillness.
This recipe, featured in Healing Stews & Enchanted Brews: A Witchy Crockpot Cookbook by A.L. Childers, honors the moon’s tranquil rhythm — slow, reflective, and full of wisdom.
Cooked overnight or during the waxing moon, this dish gathers the magic of herbs and roots that cleanse emotional energy, balance hormones, and encourage peace after emotional storms.
It’s more than a meal — it’s moonlight in a bowl.
🌿 Ingredients
- 1 cup dried lentils (green or brown, rinsed)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon thyme (dried or fresh sprigs)
- 4 cups vegetable broth or bone broth
- 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened)
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Optional: 1 cup chopped spinach or kale (added at the end)
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley or a swirl of yogurt
🔥 Crockpot (Cauldron) Directions
- In a small skillet, sauté onion, carrots, celery, and garlic in oil until softened. This “awakens” the flavors.
- Add all ingredients (except coconut milk and lemon juice) into your crockpot.
- Stir clockwise — three full turns — while repeating softly: “By moon’s soft light and gentle art,
Peace descend upon my heart.”
- Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours.
- Before serving, stir in the coconut milk and lemon juice. Add spinach or kale, if desired, and let it wilt in the residual heat.
- Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve under candlelight or by a window where the moon is visible.
🌙 Kitchen Witchery Ritual
Prepare this stew during a waxing or full moon to draw in clarity, serenity, and inner strength.
As it simmers, visualize the lentils absorbing lunar light — tiny mirrors reflecting calm into every cell of your being.
When you lift the lid, breathe in the steam and whisper:
“I am centered, I am still.
I receive what the moon reveals.”
Eat slowly, mindfully, letting the flavors remind you of the simple alchemy between earth, water, and intention.
