Today is Oak Apple Day. Here is a medieval ink you can make from oak apples that will add power to your spells or book of shadows. An oak apple is also known as an oak gall, a small round growth that appears on oak branches. Crush several oak galls and boil them for about 5 minutes, in just enough water to cover them. While they cool, cover 13 rusty iron nails in a dish of vinegar for several hours. When cool, pour the oak gall water through cheesecloth or a coffee filter, and combine the water with the rusty nail vinegar. You may add some ash to darken it if needed and gum arabic as a binder; store in an airtight container. You can enchant your ink with the following:

This oak apple ink,
I fill with my might,
Recording with power,
every word that I write.
