ABC’s of Magickal Cooking and Eating
by Silverwind & Ivan

Always stir in a clockwise motion

Before you chop veggies, offer thanks

Cut mindfully, gratefully

Do all preparations in a loving spirit

Energize food with good thoughts

Feast gratefully

Give and share what you can spare

Home and hearth are sacred

Invoke blessings of God and Goddess on all food

Join hands with friends often

Kindness shows in serving food

Love goes into every dish

Mindfully gather ingredients

No wasting - recycle, compost, feed animals

Open your senses, enjoy your surroundings

Play as well as work

Quench thirst, thinking of clear clean rivers

Resolve to be grateful and waste not

Salivate as you smell fragrance and anticipate flavors

Thank the Universe and God & Goddess for health

Use utensils carefully, then clean up

Value time spent with loved ones

When possible grow and harvest your food

Xtra food is for creative recombining

Yearly rituals and feasts build traditions

Zestful living in every area is our goal.

I don't have much to say or add to this, but I really like it! I imagine it got some views and all...but *bumps it up anyway*

I'll have to try and keep as many of these in mind as possible. :) Thanks for posting.

I'm glad this was bumped -- I hadn't come across it, and I like this very much! I'm going to put this in my kitchen where I can see it while I'm in there.

This is going up in my kitchen! Wish I could put it up at work too, but it's a Xian retirement home.
Thank you for posting it!

I'm glad this was bumped as well. I needed these reminders.

I love it. I am always after my son ( I am teaching him to cook) not to stir windershins.. he thinks I am nuts.

I really try to adhere to those suggestions. I also never cook or prepare food angry. It is feeding people I love.

Thanks for finding and bumping:uhhuhuh:

Bumping up this old thread :)

I just found it today, and really enjoyed the "advice" within.

Great to have, thanks to the poster and bumper, both! If I had a kitchen, damn straight it would be up on the wall.

[Bird]

I like this! Up in my kitchen it will go!

[MamaWytch]

Ohh, this is lovely! It needs to be poster-ized, so I can frame it and hang it in my kitchen! I have just the spot for it.....

[Twilight Siren]

Thanks for posting this. I try to prepare and consume food midfully, but sometimes I'm so hungry and don't pay it and the process the attention and care it deserves.

*bump*

I love this! :cutie:

I definitely notice that food tastes so much better when you prepare it when you're in the mood to cook and with love. Angry or stressed out cooking always results in recipes that always fail for me.

[Avariella]

This is great! So happy it was bumped! :hyper:

I'm making a poster out of this, right now!

[auntie moonbeam]

[daphnerose]
