    I don't remember where I got this or who the original author was...if anyone does please let me know..as I've had this for some time I thought I'd share it.


    Magickal Cooking Techniques

    When preparing foods for specific magickal purposes, cook with
    purpose and care. Keep your goal in mind. Know that the food
    contains the energies that you require.

    Add seasonings not only for their taste and nutrient value, but for
    their magickal correspondences as well.

    Always stir clockwise. Clockwise motion is thought to be in harmony
    with the apparent movement of the sun in the sky, and has been
    linked with life, health, success, harmony, peace and love.

    You may stir counter-clockwise first if you feel it is necessary to
    banish negativity from the food, then stir clockwise to fill it with
    positive energy.

    Cut foods into shapes symbolic of your magickal goal; i.e., hearts,
    stars, or circles. Try baking crescent cookies while meditating on
    the moon, then eating them under her silvery light. Now that's a
    delicious way to infuse yourself with lunar power! For love, cut
    out gingerbread people embracing or holding hands and let them cook
    together.

    Carve runes and sacred symbols into that apple you're about to eat
    or on top of the pie your baking. Cut cookies into magickal shapes
    and draw patterns on the inside of your sandwich with mustard. Cut
    dollar signs into your next baked potato for providence. Shape
    bread dough into a rune of protection when you feel the need for
    improved magickal safety in your home.

    If your food isn't one that lends itself well to creative carving or
    molding, arrange it in a symbolic pattern. For joy, make a smiling
    mouth out of strawberries, or for strength shape your spinach into
    an upward pointing arrow (the rune warrior). Get inventive!

    Chopping is a wonderful banishing exercise. As you dice your
    veggies, imagine chopping away all doubts and fears that stand
    between you and your goals. Then hold your hands over your pile of
    (vigorously!) chopped vegetables and send your desires right into
    them. Eat with gusto, knowing you've obliterated the self-
    constructed roadblocks that kept you from your destination.

    When the dish is completed, empower it with love, health, and wealth
    energies by holding your hands over the dish, humming what you wish
    to instill until the palms of your hands tingle or grow warm.

    If you're cooking food that will be consumed by others as well as by
    yourself, don't load the whole dish with energy. Prepare it as you
    normally would. Then, just before you eat, charge your own portions
    with visualization. Failing to separate your empowered share is
    treading on manipulative magick. You can also charge the food with
    energy while clearly stating that this energy will not affect anyone
    who consumes it unless they are open to receiving this energy.

    Set a place at your dinner table for the Goddess, and listen to Her
    words of wisdom and healing as you share a meal.

    Cook with love.

    Eat happy thoughts. Never talk about anything nasty, negative, or
    depressing while eating. When you discuss these things during a
    meal, you literally eat them and take them inside you.

    Whatever kitchen magick you create, remember to thank the Goddess
    for Her generosity in providing you with sustenance and pleasure.

    Re: Cooking Magic

    This is from an old blog post of mine, as a quick and dirty example of how magic could be added to a regular meal... I'd made a foil dinner with cabbage, potatoes, onion, carrots, and pork cutlets.

    Making it Magical!
    Veggie Correspondences: Cabbage for luck; apple for love, healing, fertility and immortality; carrot for fertility; onion for protection, healing, money, lust and prophecy.
    Animal SymbolismProsperity, courage, self-reliance, cunning, and nourishment
    Seasonings Correspondences: Basil for protection, love and wealth; red pepper for fidelity, hex-breaking (or ending bad luck), and love; salt for cleansing and wealth/prosperity
