Magic of Strawberries

Correspondences

Femininity, fertility, love, and reproduction.

Magical Meaning

Every runner and leaf of the strawberry plant is connected to its mother root. The mother supplies the nutrients and energy the runners need to blossom and fruit, otherwise they would perish. The strawberry plant serves as a reminder to us to look to our beginnings. Giving thanks to our ancestors who brought us here will give them much needed love and energy which is overlooked nowadays. By giving power to them we receive the strength we need to grow and continue our lineage in whatever way is meaningful to you.

Magical Uses

Strawberries are a great fruit to use for any love or fertility spell you have on mind, especially if it involves some kitchen witchery.

Baking up a batch of strawberry pie, mashing it for a hair/face mask, or using it as an offering to deities are some of the many ways you can incorporate the fruit into your practice. Be creative, and most importantly, have fun with it!

Kitchen Witch Recipe : Butternut Alfredo for Remembering Loved Ones

Since it’s Samhain season and the veil is still thin for another week or so (astrologically speaking), I thought it would be nice to share this Autumn favorite that is easily bewitched into a pot of Ancestral Remembrance. Plus it’s just delicious! 

These are some of the magical correspondences for this dish, and as you are working with the ingredients you can imbue them and draw out their energy.

Onion - Protection, Strength Rosemary - Remembering, Loyalty, Honoring Ancestors Sage - Time of the Crone & Samhain, Protection, Cleansing Butternut Squash - Sustaining Relationships, Nurturing Dairy - Family, Nurturing, Completion Sugar - Sweetness, Home Salt - Protection, Cleansing  Pepper - Protection, Cleansing

By invoking these qualities from your ingredients, you can create a dish to bring your family closer around the table, to remember those family members who have already passed on, and to nurture your relationship with the ancestors because they are still with you and guiding you. You can even set out an extra place setting to invite a departed loved one to join you at the table. 

Recipe

4 tbsp Butter 1 cup diced Onion 1 tbsp fresh minced Rosemary  1 tbsp fresh minced Sage 3 cups peeled and cubed Butternut Squash 1 cup Vegetable Stock 2 cups Milk 1 cup Parmesan Cheese 2 tbsp Brown Sugar 1/4 tbsp Nutmeg Salt & Pepper to taste Fettuccine Noodles, enough that while in the pot the sauce just covers 2 cups Milk 2 cups Water

Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat (I like to use a wooden spoon to move the butter in the pan to draw sigils and symbols), sauté Onion, Rosemary and Sage until translucent and fragrant. 

Add cubed squash and stock, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 mins or until tender. Mash with a potato masher and add Milk, Parmesan Cheese, Brown Sugar, Nutmeg, Salt and Pepper. Stir to combine and taste test until seasoning is to your liking. I suggest a strong flavor so it is absorbed well into the pasta. 

Add Fettuccine noodles, Milk and Water, making sure noodles are just barely covered by sauce. Stir continuously as noodles cook and absorb liquid. When done, serve immediately topped with parmesan cheese.
