You might be surprised to find that some of your favorite kitchen spices are tasty and magical. The kitchen cupboard should be the first stop when looking for a little magical help in your life. There is absolutely no good reason why herbs can't do double duty, after all, waste not, want not.
Basil is great for banishing negative entities, protecting against bad luck and attracting wealth, not to mention is absolutely delicious with fresh tomatoes and a little mozzarella. It's also easy to grow (particularly as a companion to tomatoes) and has fresh, distinctive scent that livens up the late summer garden.
Garlic, it shouldn't astonish anyone, is protective. It banished spirits, deters thieves and of course, chases away vampires (including the psychic ones).
Cinnamon vibrates with healing energy and and brings success. Sprinkle some in your morning coffee or add a dash to a chocolate cake. Boil cinnamon sticks on the stove to scent the whole house and to increase spirituality.
Ginger can add zip to a dish or soothe a stomach ache; it also is a powerful draw for love and money.
Rosemary, as Shakespeare so famously reminds us, is a symbol of remembrance. It increases our mental powers (try wearing rosemary oil on your collar when studying) and purifies the air. It is also a grat protective herb. Try it on roasted potatoes for a tasty meal that promotes a good self image.
Sage is cleansing and clearing. It promotes wisdom and longevity and helps wishes come to fruition. It's also wonderfully tasty on poultry.
So many herbs and so little time (or should that be thyme?), in the future, look for more magical herbs and spices, along with enchanting vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts. Next time you prepare a meal, add a little magic to the cauldron. Eating your intentions is a powerful act of sympathetic magic because you are literally internalizing your intentions. It doesn't get more basic than that.
