Making a Magickal Meal

Making a magickal meal is as easy as praying over your food while preparing it and being thankful for them for nourishing your body. It is important to know that while you are cooking whatever energy you give off will affect the food. So if you’re in a good mood, dancing and singing, the food will take on a positive energy. If you’re in a bad mood, the food will absorb that energy too. Be mindful of ingredients, the history, the magical properties of food and how it nurtures your body.
