Food Magic for Witches
Historically witches practiced food magic with a variety of tools used to add power to their rituals. They used crystals, essences, incense, oils, and affirmations, to help channel the power. The 
ancients were known to eat foods containing a specific energy for the reasons of, strength and safety in battle, successful childbirth, prosperity, love and sex. Around the world food is still used for magic, no wedding is complete without a wedding cake, and when the cake is eaten, a wish is made for health and happiness. Birthday rituals around the world are conducted and candles are placed on a cake and blown out, the one whose birthday it is, blows out the candles and makes a wish, this in itself is an act of magic, and the person blowing out the candles feels a sense of wellbeing when this is done. The cake is then cut and eaten and those eating it each make a wish, by doing this they are participating in magic. Food is a magical tool and can be used for positive change in your life. It is never too early or too late to practice magic.
Everyone has to eat, and if all food is prepared with an intention for love, money or protection, cooking will help you to manifest what you want out of life.
