Magical Foodlore

By Wendy Trevennor

The importance of food to human beings can hardly be overemphasized. Unlike most of our fellow animals on the planet, we eat for reasons other than the maintenance of our bodies or even the satisfaction of our appetites. We eat because food is life and joy, for love, for celebration, for fellowship, for magic. Food is woven through all our cultures and into all our stories. It is something that sets us apart, as natives of a certain country or a certain region, of members of a certain class, of followers of a certain religion.

But as well as earthly concerns we use food to worship our Gods, and to perform rituals and do magic and healing...who knew?

This book explores the world of food from a spiritual and magical perspective, from the stories we all grew up with ("Who's been eating my porridge?") to the use of food in ritual, spellworking and the worship of the Gods. Not just a witchy recipe book (although there are recipes too ) MAGICAL FOODLORE will tell you about uses for food you never suspected, as well as the historical precedents, the folk stories and superstitions which may be more ancient than we know.
