A fantasy witch dress is a type of garment that is designed to embody the mysterious and enchanting nature of witches in fantasy literature and mythology. These dresses often feature dark and rich colors such as black, purple, and deep red, evoking a sense of darkness and magic. The silhouette of a fantasy witch dress is typically long and flowing, with cascading layers of fabric that create a dramatic and ethereal effect when worn. The dress may be adorned with intricate details such as lace, sequins, or embroidery, adding to its enchanting appeal. To enhance the mystical aura of the dress, it may also include elements like a high collar, bell sleeves, or a hood. These features not only add to the visual impact of the dress but also create a sense of mystery and otherworldliness.
Bring 2 quarts water to a boil, and add the leaves. Reduce heat and allow to steep for about 15 minutes. Strain leaves out, and then add honey or other sweetener to taste. If the tea is too strong, add a bit of water to thin it out. Pour into an ice-filled pitcher and serve. You may want to add a sprig of mint for garnish.
You can tell I am a very sensory person and one thing that made celebrations and holidays memorable as a kid were always the treats you walked away with. Litha is a great time to take advantage of nature s abundance there s stuff blooming everywhere and brewing batch of homemade mead is an excellent way to do this.
These features not only add to the visual impact of the dress but also create a sense of mystery and otherworldliness. Accessories play an important role in completing the fantasy witch dress look. A wide-brimmed hat, adorned with feathers, ribbons, or even a veil, is a popular choice.

Summer Solstice Fantasy Feast
It’s here!! Nearly in the final hour!! Have been wicked busy but still dedicated to fulfilling my self imposed duty this year to upgrade all of my 2016 fantasy feasts. It brings me joy each year seeing people reblog my old feasts especially as those posts did help me to visualize and manifest incredible magical celebrations with friends. However as time goes on my standards unfortunately get higher and my tastes more elaborate so I felt it was time to redo my Summer Solstice vision. I hope this post with included recipes below get you in a hot summery mood!
In the read more there are the recipe links and additional explanations on personal symbolism and of course the image credits! I also always plan my feasts to be vegan inclusive for those with dietary restrictions but also aim for all the food to be somewhat local which matters in these seasonal feasts since it’s celebrating local nature. Anyway there is something for everyone here.
1: Starters
The ideal Summer Solstice feast to me is a mad fiery pagan bonfire bbq. If we are talking about a celebration honoring the fiery sun, summertime and food, my mind goes to a grill. However most BBQs can end up getting heavy quickly. Therefore the starters are a bit light. There will be charred vegetable skewers, steamed seafood, shrimp cocktail and jalapeno poppers. Honorable mention would be blistered padron peppers.

(I would ideally want to serve just steamed seafood. The image is from a Paella recipe which is very summery but Paella is definitely a main dish and not a starter).
2: Sides
The bread choice for this feast will be focaccia with sundried tomatoes and garden herbs. Other dishes will be charred bell peppers, and a refreshing cucumber tomato salad.
3: Mains
The grill would provide a selection of food, but the main feature would be marinated barbeque ribs. The plant based option would be stuffed grilled bell peppers with smoked paprika.
Stuffed Bell Peppers image source (there’s no vegan recipes online that I find satisfying so I would prepare this with sautéed pinto beans with red onions in tomato sauce, smoked paprika, coriander and topped with a dash of chili flakes and oat crème fraiche).

4: Desserts
Summer is the fruity season!! We start to see more fruits in season towards the Summer crossquarter harvest, yet Summer Solstice sees strawberries and in some regions melons start to ripen. Other fruits I associate with this sabbat are light citrus flavors from Lemon, Grapefruit and Lime. Also since I was raised in NJ a regional summery treat we have are orange creamsicles. It’s a dreamy creamy citrus delight and has a special place in my heart so I feel like since it evokes summer so well for me it deserves a spot here.
For each sabbat dessert I have a tart of choice, a cake of choice and a special dish. The tart for Summer Solstice is torn between a fresh strawberry tart and a lemon meringue, but I would ultimately choose a lemon meringue tart with flamed mallow topping. The cake would be strawberry shortcake, and the special dessert would be an icecream cake (could change flavors per year but would mostly be orange creamsicle). Alternatives provided would be ice cream cookies as they are easy to make with vegan options/dietary restrictions and in different variety of flavors to suit peoples pallets. Also if you are in a region where it’s available, definitely a watermelon fruit salad. Watermelon was such a big part of summer in NJ but in England its like out of region so it’s mostly strawberries over here.
5: Drinks
Fruits really make their way into everything during summertime and the drink selection would reflect this. Only thing not pictured here would be an elderflower fresh mint iced tea which will be cooling and refreshing to counter act all the hot and spicy foods. Other than that of course the main non-alcoholic drink will be lemonade!
For the alcoholic selection I would love Strawberry wine, boozy melon bowls and grapefruit shandies (shoffenhofer tastes like summer on tap it will change your life). The spirit of choice will be tequila. Something about tequila is so fiery, summery and solar. I would make spicy mezcal sunset margaritas and flamed tequila shots.
6: Treats
Final part!! You can tell I am a very sensory person and one thing that made celebrations and holidays memorable as a kid were always the treats you walked away with. The little candies, snacks and tokens. If I were to have a celebration with a whole community including kids I would include some of these. Summery sweets for me were salt water taffy, fruity gummies (especially shark gummies), sticky sun drops on paper and fruity candies with melon, strawberry and citrus flavors. For savory options I would love spicy and smoky treats from fiery chili chips to smoked paprika crisps.
If you made it this far thank you so much for reading it all!! Hope I put you on a visual sensory experience for the summer. I would love to hear what dishes and foods you associate with the summer solstice or summer time in general.
You can check my litha tag for more ideas or my correspondence list for why I associate certain things with this time of year.
Mix the dill and garlic into the cream cheese, and stir until blended. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the tortillas. In layers, add the lettuce, carrots, tomato and chicken breast. Top with cheese.
Other accessories may include fingerless gloves, choker necklaces, and statement jewelry featuring gemstones or mystical symbols.

I was really excited to receive the Fantasy witch dress, but it was a complete letdown. The dress arrived with loose threads and unfinished seams. The quality was subpar and didn't match the price I paid. Additionally, the sizing was completely off, and the dress didn't flatter my figure at all. I'm extremely disappointed with this purchase and would advise others to look elsewhere for a dress that meets their expectations.

While the Fantasy witch dress had some potential, it didn't live up to my expectations. The dress arrived with a few loose sequins and the fit wasn't quite right. The length was too long, even though I ordered the correct size. Additionally, the fabric felt cheap and didn't have a nice drape. I was disappointed with this dress and wouldn't purchase it again.

I was not impressed with the Fantasy witch dress. The dress looked beautiful in the photos, but in person, it was underwhelming. The quality of the fabric was poor, and it felt uncomfortable to wear. The dress didn't flatter my body shape, and the color palette wasn't as vibrant as I expected. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this dress, as there are better options available at the same price point.
