When the weather is cold it's hard to beat the comfort of a hot bowl of chili with cornbread.
Magickal correspondence of some of the key ingredients are:
Corn, cornmeal and corn flour: Abundance, fertility, life, luck, protection, resurrection, and spirituality. Corn is symbolic of abundance and fertility. It is a New World grain domesticated more than 9,000 years ago in Mexico. Cornmeal is used as a sacred offering by various Native American peoples in the Southwestern United States, often scattered on the wind and sprinkled in blessing. It is a biodegradable medium used to draw circles, runes, or sigils.
Kidney Beans: Energy, healing, love, memory, prosperity, and wisdom. Beans hold energy to renew energy, increase luck, deepen inspiration, and fuel creativity. I like to serve beans on threshold days, such as New Years and Yule, to inspire good fortune. Add them to soups to attract good fortune and encourage expansion.
Tomatoes: Creativity, health, love, luck, prosperity, protection, and warding.
Tomatoes are a food of love associated with Aphrodite, Hera, and Venus. They are eaten and added to recipes to empower health, inspire creativity, and attract love. Tomatoes are good for you. They contain lycopene and lutein to help maintain eye health. Use tomatoes in your food magicks to improve clear sight and empower intuition. Tomatoes also hold energy for protection. They are a good source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and vitamins C and K. Eat them to guard health and keep colds at bay. Serve them at gatherings to banish anger and repel negativity.
