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.
