 Cookie Baking Ritual
THE COOKIE BAKING RITUAL
While it is traditional among many to bake cookies for the Yuletide season, cookies can be baked at any time of the years. These cookies are special because you can make them into a ritual and infuse them with a spell for prosperity, health or happiness. You may do this ritual alone or as a group. You will find it to be very nice for the family to do together.
BEFORE THE RITUAL
Decide on what kind of cookies you are going to make. This ritual will work with any homemade cookie recipe.
Decide how many cookies you are going to make.
Once you know the quantity you are going to make, you can make up your shipping list. Then, off to the store.
Make sure you have all the needed ingredients before you get started. You will be in circle during the entire baking process so you won’t want to break the circle to go run to the store for a box of baking soda or sugar.
Clean and purify the kitchen the same way you would prepare any other sacred space. You may want to bathe, shower or otherwise cleanse yourself and everyone else. Remember to at least wash your hands; you will be cooking food, after all.
Gather all the ingredients, bowls, pans, utensils and whatever you will need for baking and arrange items on the counter top. If you are going to use your normal ritual tools, bring them into the kitchen aw well. It is not recommended that you light incense during this ritual because it interferes with the delicious baking odors.
Gather the cooks and helpers who will be baking and casting the spell together. You are not ready to start.
Turn off the ringers on the phones in your house, so you are not disturbed during the ritual.
THE RITUAL
Create sacred space in your usual manner. It is a good idea, if you are casting a circle, to include the entire house. Otherwise, you will be cutting gates all day as people need to take bathroom breaks or whatnot. You will want to take your time while doing this ritual.
Ground and center yourselves.
Not it is time to start baking. If you are doing this with a group, you may consider dividing up the labor such as one person in charge of measuring and cleaning bowls, utensils and pans and another in charge of knowing when to take the cookies out of the oven and one person in charge of transferring the dough to the cookie sheets, etc.
Start measuring and mixing ingredients together according to your recipe. Pre-heat your oven. When you are at the point in the recipe where you are doing the final mixing of the dough, have everyone hold onto the spoon (no electric beaters for this part) and start chanting. You want to raise energy and put it into the cookie dough. Use the largest wooden spoon with the longest handle in the kitchen. Everyone hold the spoon together and stir the dough clockwise while you chant the following:
“Health and wealth and happiness be
To all who eat these cookies by me!”
Feel free to write your own chant.
Once the dough has been charged with the spell, place on cookie sheets and bake.
When all the cookies have been baked and cooled, sample one, for each of you. Reserve several cookies as offerings to the Gods.
Open the circle in your usual fashion.
AFTER THE RITUAL
After you have taken down the circle, package the cookies in their gift bags or storage containers. If you are making the cookies as gifts, tell the person you are giving them to that the cookies were blessed. Be sure and tell your non-Pagan friends they are blessed cookies. Just as you would not cast a spell for or on someone without their permission, you don’t want to “trick” someone into eating them either.
