Spell Steps
Step 1: Take some time to decide what you want to accomplish with this spell. Keep it simple and focused for best results. Example: I want to feel more supportive of my partner.
Step 2: Decide what recipe you’ll be creating and gather the regular ingredients needed to complete the recipe.
Step 3: Cook your recipe according to the directions. As the food is being prepared, hold your purpose in your mind as best as you can.
Step 4: Just before completing the recipe, add a pinch of the specific spices you’ve chosen to direct your intentions towards the goal of your spell. Example: Basil for happiness, love, and peace.
Step 5: As you add each pinch of spice, direct the path of the spell in your own words. Example: I add this element to my creation in order to bring forth the energy contained within. As I partake of this food (or drink), these chosen ingredients will enhance my ability to show more support for my partner, so let the elements of this concoction be absorbed within my essence.
Step 6: Consume your finished creation knowing that you have invited the energies of the spices into your energy field where they can share their natural powers with you.

Notes
Alterations
You can adjust this basic spell to fit any of your recipes. Remember, it only takes a very small pinch of a spice to infuse your recipe with the energy of that spice. You don’t need to be concerned that a particular spice will affect the overall flavor, as you can add a very small amount and still achieve your goal.
It’s also possible to add steps to increase the potency of the spell.
For example, you may choose to use a spoon for stirring, or a knife for cutting that you have previously charged and set aside as a magickal tool.
You might choose to create something cold if your spell would be enhanced by cooling energies. Or, you might create something hot if warm elements would help your intention come to pass.
Each time you add an additional component to the spell, you’ll strengthen the subconscious and symbolic messages associated with your spell and that will help you remain focused on your goal.
