Spell to Bless Your Oven

The oven is an ancient emblem of transformation. Raw bread dough is one thing, but baked bread is clearly another; what comes out of the oven is quite different from what went in. We can honor the oven and its almost alchemical magic it's ability to change things in order to nourish us more deeply with this simple spell.

You will need:

• A cookie sheet
• Flour

On the cookie sheet, which represents the Earth, sprinkle a tiny amount of flour. Flour combines all four elements it was rooted in earth, nourished by rain, warmed by sun, and harvested from air. Give some thought to this as you use your index finger to draw a simple sun-shape on the flour. The oven is like the sun, a small personal source of fire and heat. Breathe your own energy over the cookie sheet and then say the following:

"A blessing on food and fed, Earth and sun. All are one. A blessing on your
power Bless fire and food and maker Bless seed and plant and baker. Nourish us deeply, Change us completely, Teach us to nourish each other."
