This is something I do every year now. I started when I lived at my old house, because there were so many beautiful violets in my yard. I researched whether they could be used medicinally, and found that people use them to make a gorgeous purple simple syrup to put in drinks. I’ve done that for several years, and occasionally I’ve made natural dyes for eggs, and this year I wondered if I could put the two together. Turns out, you can. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/346b11c8-08fa-4648-ad13-5288c868394c/IMG_1591.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out This is how I look when I pick wild violets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/c4c3bcd6-5da7-419e-95b6-d2d004df5a93/IMG_1592.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out Not all wild violets are bright purple.

I drove over that afternoon and we spent a while lying on blankets in her yard, drinking sparkling water, picking the abundant violets, and talking. I found the process of creating dye and eggs this year particularly magical because the process itself was such a joy. While I can quickly pick violets in my own yard and have enough to make simple syrup for myself and a couple friends, letting this whole project take about a week made it more expansive and meaningful. I plan to do this every year now: a short wild violet festival. I love to pick violets alone and connect with my yard, and I loved picking them with a friend and connecting more broadly too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/d1ebbfd0-620f-4e1c-960b-73c0597476d3/IMG_1595.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out The violets are small, soft and have a delicate green bulb where they connect with the stem.

The violet picking was done. I really liked letting “done” arrive organically. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/2f4427f4-35b3-4039-a7c9-5585c027ba2d/IMG_1602.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out To make the simple syrup, I put 2 cups of violets in a pyrex and poured hot water to the 2 cup mark. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/f47d50de-36e1-4388-83f1-b91fdfa20634/IMG_1603.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out Then I let it sit for a while, maybe 2h, and steep. Here you can see the water turning blue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/ef9b329e-c750-49bf-9498-362f6aa19a7f/IMG_1615.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out Then I strained it and melted 1 cup of sugar into it (I think you’re supposed to do 1:1 ratio for simple syrup, but I like it less sweet). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/950ecacc-4626-4dad-bbc3-020b571081a8/IMG_1622.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out The simple syrup comes out a turquoise blue at first, but you can add lemon juice and the acid turns it purple.

I think they look like jewels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/c2804b58-9512-4625-927a-8f70522e1f62/IMG_1629.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out At the dinner gathering I hosted where we drank these beverages, I used some of each syrup. The blue one turned purple in the cup, but it was a bluer kind of purple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/9d061b0e-bb59-48f8-b6de-22d018ad6c92/IMG_1604.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out Okay, back to the eggs! While the violets were steeping for the simple syrup, I followed this recipe to make the dye. I doubled it for dyeing eggs in a group. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/85c6c11a-a33d-4d23-9d33-14ad37619135/IMG_1606.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out Here’s what the violets look like when you strain them.

I wanted to blow the eggs so I could save them for longer; I have a couple I made years ago, and they are a touchstone of the season to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/396639d2-6028-4768-9e98-9ea13ccefb6f/IMG_1611.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out Then I took a paperclip, swirled it around inside the eggs, and blew out the insides into this tupperware. Later, my partner Evan used the eggs to make chickpea quinoa burgers for our dinner gathering. This picture is a nice and composed one of me blowing the eggs, right when I started. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/b41bdca8-43d1-4a63-a4d9-b155417658e5/IMG_1614.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out This is after I’d been blowing for a minute and my face was getting red. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/340c3872-350d-49ec-87ac-0fd41015d4f3/IMG_1628.jpg Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out I didn’t get as many pictures of the wax part, it was an action-y part of the evening. What I did was melt a bunch of beeswax pastilles in a pot, put tape on a bunch of pencils, and sit at our table with friends where we then dipped the pencils in the wax and dabbed it onto our eggs to seal the holes and also make designs. I had to get up periodically to re-melt the wax; I will try a double boiler next year. Once we had the wax done and it had hardened, we put our eggs 2-apiece into the dye in these takeout containers, then put the tops on to press them down into the dye. I rotated the eggs twice throughout the night and morning to make sure the dye was relatively even. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/39df8aa6-c4ab-418a-98da-ff9883bf3dc5/IMG_1633.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out Overnight, the dye, which had been purple from the acid of the vinegar, turned blue again! Wild stuff. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/59443973-1ef3-4c30-bb69-52150e88c984/IMG_1634.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out I rinsed the dye off the eggs . . . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/9d211cfe-4feb-44e0-b21f-ceab594c6f1c/IMG_1635.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out Here they are all in a bowl together. You can see some folks dipped the eggs in the wax, too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/cbc7b669-eccc-49c7-bb0d-872810be9ef0/IMG_1636.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out Finally, I held the eggs over a flame to soften the wax, and wiped it off with a paper towel. This part takes the most patience, and you have to hold the egg pretty close to the flame to get it soft. I recommend short bursts of very close to the flame, then wiping off the wax. This part incorporates fire, which I also love as a magical companion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/a152be5f-2e4d-40e7-82d2-db3a3228cce8/IMG_1640.JPEG Blog - Approaching the Egg Moon - Make it stand out The picture at the top is one side of my finished egg! This is the other side, with its inspiration, Tulip the rabbit. This process was really rewarding. This Saturday, when my friends come by for a belated Ostara fire ritual, I’ll give them back their eggs. I like doing this kind of thing messily, and every year I get a little better at it. It becomes a process of growing my knowledge, and sharing my practices, a little more each round. I hope you enjoyed this egg journey with me! I’ll see you here next week. xox Isabel https://yourvillagewitch.com/blog/when-is-spring-equinox monthly 0.5 2025-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/82698059-f42d-4b1f-bebb-ef24a39cccb8/Copy+of+RITUALIST.png Blog - Be a Seedling - Make it stand out An excerpt from my Ostara meditation.

The brain chemicals of that time are WILD, and I used to looooove them. I still enjoy, but I’m a microdoser now. When I get too lost in them, I lose track of myself. It’s not as fun as it used to be, because the pleasure of NRE hinges on what someone else thinks of me. It requires me to praise and wait for praise as a fundamental aspect of my enjoyment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/36bcf0dc-8738-4529-a81f-f8b457d0ba8c/IMG_5687.JPEG Blog - Ego Death and Liberation - Make it stand out Tulip is molting, so while most of her fur is short, her butt is way fluffier than usual, and the contrast is hilarious. https://yourvillagewitch.com/blog/am-i-weird monthly 0.5 2025-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61044cdc80a33d7cb4026bec/8c6ab6e8-662b-422d-9d53-a37860d02d80/IMG_1378.JPEG Blog - Believing in Weird Things - Make it stand out Tulip, lounging on her side with one paw resting over the leg of a 3-legged side table, her chin resting there too.
