Most of us have issues finding
time to do much serious magickal work in the midst of our hectic lives (me
included, alas). One way to get around the problem is to integrate magick into
some of your everyday activities, and one of my favorite ways to do that is
with food.
I’m pretty sure that this is
something our witchy ancestors did, too. That picture you always see of a witch
stirring a steaming cauldron? You probably thought she was concocting some kind
of exotic potion, right? Nope—stew. Or possibly porridge. Of course, that
doesn’t mean she wasn’t muttering a spell over the cauldron anyway.
How to you take your regular food
preparation and turn it into something magickal? The same way we do any other
magick: with intent, focus, and belief.
Say you want to add a little
prosperity magick to your breakfast and you have oatmeal in your cauldron—er,
pot. As a savvy witch, you know that oats are associated with prosperity. So as
you stir them, you concentrate on your intention to bring out that quality in
the food, focusing on imbuing the oatmeal with prosperity-drawing properties
with each swirl of the spoon. Believing that your magick will work just makes
it more powerful. Adding a little maple syrup will give it an additional
magickal “oomph” and also as a bonus, make it taste even better.
One of my favorite spring salads
uses fresh veggies, fruits, and herbs of the season, many of which are great
for prosperity work, with a little love magick thrown in (because who couldn’t
use more love?). It is fast and easy to
make, pretty to look at, and very good for you. Plus it is delicious. It is one
of Blue Moon Circle’s most requested spring feast dishes, and I often eat it a
few times a week when the spinach and strawberries in my garden are ripe.
The ingredients include baby
spinach (prosperity), topped with sliced strawberries (love), basil and/or
parsley (love and protection), sunflower seeds (luck and success), and a
sprinkling of candied pecans or almonds. All it needs then is a little light
vinaigrette (I just use olive oil and balsamic vinegar, but you can use
whichever dressing you prefer), and voila! Magick on plate!

That's fantastic Deborah! Many thanks for the recipe (two actually, as I will buy oatmeal porridge today!). This is great as it reminds us of what the ingredients do on a magical level when you use them. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI am going to have to try this. I have trouble finding time and room to do magick. This gives me several ideas and two delicious recipes.
