In the first lesson of my free Witchcraft Course, In a Witch’s Primer, we learn about the power and practice of consecration.
Consecration is a procedure whereby a witch takes something ordinary and makes it sacred. To consecrate means to set apart.
When we bless a magical tool, for instance, we set that tool apart from our mundane belongings and reserve it for magical ritual work.
A daily type of consecration that we practice in the Craft is called Food Consecration.
When we consecrate our food before eating it, we set it apart by blessing it, and then it becomes spiritual food for our auras, along with mundane fuel for our bodies.
The benefits of daily food consecration seem infinite to those who practice it. These benefits include a lighter and healthier aura, increased focus, and enhanced relaxation ability.
Also, we notice an increased ability to stay at peace in any situation, increased magical power to bring about desired changes in our lives, and so much more.
The procedure for consecrating food is quite simple:
Sit for a moment with your meal before you relax your body.
Emotionally connect your body with the food and mentally give thanks for the sacrament that is about to take place.
Be grateful to the Great Spirit for providing the food.
Mentally, thank the food itself for being eaten.
For just a moment, feel thankful for everything in the whole world.
Take a few deep breaths, relax the body, smile, and say, “Blessed Be.”
Eat slowly and enjoy.
After consecrating your food for a few weeks, you may notice that your ability to stay relaxed has enhanced. You may start having more psychic sensitivity and clairvoyant experiences.
As you become accustomed to consecrating your food, you can also include more specific desires in your consecration. For instance, if you are working towards more financial prosperity. You can use this intention in your food consecrations so that as you consume your meals, you also increase the prosperous vibrations within your aura.
The simple practice of food consecration requires as little as 30 seconds to complete before eating each meal. The benefits that will accrue over time from this practice far outweigh the small effort required.
Give consecrating your food a try. Do it every day for 30 days; then look back over your month and notice how much more magical your life has become. Notice the differences in your overall attitude and peace of mind.
Daily consecrating our food is a magical practice that every true magical adept includes in some form.
