Cookin’ up a spell!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!!!  :-)  So recently I had the pleasure of cooking dinner for some dear friends of ours.  It's "that" time of year so I was able to make spaghetti sauce from fresh pasta tomatoes grown in my mother-in-law Eileen's garden – use fresh herbs, peppers, etc. 

In the midst of all that chopping, pureeing, stirring, etc., it struck me how much cooking was just like doing a spell (with a slight homage to Cajun Voodoo Love Cookin').   First of all, I had to want to cook this meal as perfectly as I could.  I couldn't just do it because I had to, or said I would.  It truly had to be a labor of love or that sauce would NOT come out right. (Hats off to my Dad for that one!)

Second, I had to concentrate and think on what I wanted the outcome to be.  In order to make this meal truly special I had to visualize the joy that it would bring and the love that it would show.  I cooked this just for you, because I love you, and I want you to see that love in what I am offering you.  Nothing could be closer to being spell work without being spell work!

Third, I had to take care with what I was doing; I had to check my ratios of tomatoes to garlic to peppers to onions. I had to make sure I stirred at the right time, checking to make sure nothing was burning, and get my timing right.

In the end, the meal was as perfect as I could make it!  Notice I said as perfect as I could make it?  Not necessarily perfect, maybe something wasn't exactly right, maybe I might have made a mistake.  However, I knew that I had done my personal best – the end result was going to be loved because I knew that those good folks would know that something had been made especially for them and that THEY had been at the forefront of my thoughts the whole time I was preparing the meal.

So approach your spell work the same way!  Care about what you are doing, follow the instructions to the best of your ability, and visualize the loving end result! Don't just go through the motions of your spell work because you have to, or the instructions said so, or Mambo said so!  Do it because you want to! You will feel happy and satisfied and you will know that no matter what the outcome, you did your very best!  That is success in a very special way!

Love,light, and peace,
