A blending of my beliefs and my loves

Yes, I am a Wiccan. Anyone who reads my main blog Sun and Moon Sorcery will know that.
Being as my birthday was last week, I have decided to put in a few parties on the old tea blog.
This first party is about my belief of honoring the moon.
At the time of this writing the moon is at 93% waning Gibbous of full.

A full moon is shining, so turn the lights down low, put a table by the window and have a moonlight tea party!
Get some dark blue placemats, a few silver or gold napkins for the party. Work moons in all phases through your party favors and decorations. It is really easy these days to find material with a celestrial theme to make up napkins, tablecloths or runners.
Blow a huge yellow or silver balloon all the way up and hang it above your tea table. A nice inexpensive representation of our Lady the Moon.

Full Moon Tea Party

What's the news of the day,
Good Neighbor, I pray?
They say a balloon
Has gone to the moon

Moon Scones
Cheese stars and apple crescents
Milky Way Tea

Moon Scones

1-1/2 cups flour
1/2 stick of sweet butter, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup golden raisins or sultanas

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Put the flour and butter ina big bowl. Cut the butter into pieces. Rub the butter and flour together until the mixture looks like crumbs. Mix in the sugar. Add the milk and mix well. Gently stir in the raisins.
3. Chill the dough for 1 hour or more. Shape it into 2" balls. Put them on a greased cookie sheet, flatten them, and bake 12 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with Jam or honey.
Makes 12 scones.

Cheese stars and apple crescents

Cheese slices
Apples
a star shaped cookie cutter.

Cut the stars out of the cheese slices with the cookie cutter.
Cut the apples into wedges or slices. Make sure you cut out the core to make the slices or wedges into crescents.
Arrange your stars and apple crescents on a pretty plate.

Milky Way Tea

Stir together 1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup milk mixed with 1/2 cup of brewed black tea.

This tea could be easily a bedtime tea treat for a child by taking the black tea out of the Milky Way Tea and just double the milk.

I hope you enjoy this foray into stars.

Enjoy!
