~ Love Butter ~ Charm of an Irish Gypsy

This is the charm …

“A charm for love,

Like the cow following her young,

Like the kinship of magpies,

Like the first breath and loving eye,

May he follow me like the saint followed god”

I follow a blog of an Irish Gypsy. It is full of the mystic long associated with the ‘Irish Traveller’ as they are sometimes called or ‘Pavee(s). From a step by step guide on how to read Tea Leaves to charms of Love and Romance. It is an entertaining and useful Blog that can be found here. I want to thank the Barefoot Pavee for allowing me to share the recipe today!

Love Toast

1/2 pound of unsalted butter

1/2 cup of local honey

fresh lavender

Soften the butter in a bowl with a wooden spoon

Add lavender (for romance), or hawethorn blossoms (for true lasting love 🙂 )

Pour in honey and continue mixing until it’s well blended.

*Then spread it on your desired one’s toast*

and

Remember to recite Mary’s Charm and Smile!
