On my most recent trip to my little local library branch I decide to check out the religion section and found this The Encylopedia of Magickal Ingredients. Looks like fun. While I don’t get into these things hardcore I have been known to carry a crystal or two-maybe I will learn something new. Then I start flipping through. There seems to be an obsession with breakfast foods. Here are some highlights…
Waffle (yes. a breakfast waffle)
Ruler: Mercury, Venus
“Type: Bread
Magickal Form: cooked
“The pockets of the waffle are very magickal. Fill them with honey or maple syrup and eat on the new moon to get work that makes you feel happy an satisfied. Fill the pickets with berries and eat on a Friday to draw a more fulfilling love life.”
Bacon
Ruler: Adonis
Type: Meat
Magickal Form: cooked meat, grease, fat
“The pig is considered unclean in Jewish and Muslim beliefs, but by most pagan accounts it is regarded as a symbol of prosperity. The pig or boar is the sacred totem animal of Adonis, the Greek god of vegetation and renewal who was sacrificed annually to ensure the fertility of the earth. The expression “bringing home the bacon” refers to making money; eat bacon to increase earnings. Smear the fat or grease on your body to remove marital tension and forgive adulterous affairs.”
Bagel
Ruler: Neptune
Type: Bread
Magickal Form: various
“Eat bagels to create illusions. The more you pile on top of the bagel, the more people will believe (and enjoy) the tall tales you tell. This is a great formula for fiction writers and political candidates. Never ever put ham ( or any pork product) on a bagel. It brings very bad luck. Meditate on the hole in the bagel when you need to pull a quick disappearing act (especially from creditors). Sesame bagels are for prosperity. Poppy bagels eaten before bed increase dream activity. Salt bagels get rid of inconsistencies and make one a better liar. Cinnamon raisin bagels make flattery come easy. the everything bagel makes wishes come true.”
And then under Candy we learn about the modern urban goddess Squat. It seems that Squat rules parking spots. “She’ll get you a legal one if you chant “Squat, Squat please give me a spot,” but she expects to be rewarded with a piece of chocolate left at the curbside front wheel. Without this sweet offering she may send a tow truck after your car”
Ketchup’s magickal form is drawn in the shape of a pentagram
And finally we have Urine-magickal form: fresh. “Urine is very powerful for marking territory. If you want to obtain a certain property., spread a drop of your urine on the boundaries of the four corners of the land For apartments and homes, please be civilized with your magick. Simply go to the toilet and pee while you visualize yourself buying or renting the space.”
Did you know the magickal form of dogs is in the bark? When you hear a barking dog you should know that a message from the lunar goddess is on the way. What a nice segue into last nights late night wake up call. OK not really a wake up call for me but the neighbors probably saw it that way. 2am Lilo starts going ballistic at the bedroom door to the outside deck. I guess the lunar goddess wanted me to know that the raccoons were back! So I turn off the lights and grab a flashlight for the best view. Turns out I have a one-eyed raccoon in my tree!
Lilo kept me up until about 3am announcing the arrival of each raccoon-there were at least three. They have been coming by quite a bit lately which is fun. I like to hear their little chitter chatter as they climb around.
And let’s leave this post with this one.
Bedsheets
Ruler: Venus
Type: Fabric
Magickal Form: SEX STAINED
To keep a partner faithful or to get a lover to return to you, cut off a small corner of a bedsheet you have had sex together on. Glue it to the back of a picture of both of you and anoint the four corners of the photo with almond oil. Place under the bed and he or she will love only you or return to love you alone.”
