Blog

This blog is an exploration of daily magic, featuring wild plants, creative recipes, meaningful ceremonies, and writings about our shared humanity. 

Welcome to the Blog!

Welcome to the Wondersmith's Writings! Here you can find magical recipes featuring foraged ingredients, musings on food and ceremony, and meaningful rituals to explore your own everyday magic. Though I have been focused on other writing pursuits, I am keeping all of my blog content up as a resource for you. You can use the search bar below to find what you are looking for.

Introducing: Wondercrew Wednesdays! (Making a Flower Mandala Tray)

In case you don’t know, my Wondercrew is the lovely band of patrons that make everything I do possible! Without their support, I wouldn’t be able to share all of these awesome blog posts with you, I wouldn’t be able to create Fairytale Gatherings for strangers, and I wouldn’t be able to spend my time spinning up other kinds of magic, like the book series I’m working on. This amazing community of people not only supports me financially, they have also shown me incredible grace and kindness over the years as I wrestle with a worsening chronic condition. I am deeply, deeply grateful for them, and for a while now I have been trying to think of a more consistent way to show that gratitude. That’s why I’ve decided to dedicate Wednesdays to Wondercrew! This is the day that I’ll post Craft Club projects, Secret Recipes, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and more! I’ll continue to post other goodies during the rest of the week for the general public, but I really wanted to make this day extra special. That’s why I’m starting it off with one of my favorite projects from this summer, a gorgeous flower-embedded resin tray, perfect for harvest season! You’ll get a little glimpse of the process in this video but for a longer video, detailed instructions, resources, tips, and more, you’ll need to head to Wondercrew Headquarters (aka Patreon.com/TheWondersmith) Here’s a little peek at what we’ll be making:

Huge thanks to my Patrons that make sharing all of these lovely posts with you possible (without all of the pop-ups and ads that make browsing other blogs so annoying).
