Blessing the Food

[Disciple of the Serpent]

Which techniques do you know to bless the food before eating?

 

[AFODO]

Just simple affirmations. I personally just visualize white gold energy filling it (not sure other colors might be more efficient) and affirm "This food is very nutritious and healthy for me, in the most beneficial way for me", 1-3 times. I often don't say the most beneficial way for me as I don't find it particularly important in this case as you affirm it's healthy for you already.

Do the same with water or anything you consume basically.

I thought of something easier, that can be done by new members too, and also if you eat outside. It's based on a prayer to Lord Zeus, that you can also do mentally.

"O Lord Zeus, O Father, I humbly ask You to bless this food that I'm about to consume, I ask You to bless the food of your Initiated.
May this food only do good to me, may it give me strenght and wellbeing.
Hail Lord Zeus!!!"

What are you experiences? Did you noticed differences in taste? How it felt after a few hours?

I personally never tried that...I'm undecided between doing this or some Magickal Working related to food, like affirmations (as AFODO suggested) or something else entirely. That would be interesting.

HPs, what do you think about the tradition of saying grace/saying prayers before a meal?
It's associated with xianity in modern times, but it certainly predates abrahamic religion. Is it a silly, benign human tradition or is there a greater significance to it?

Would it be appropriate to "say grace" to Furfur, or maybe another deity?

It does come from Pagan days, especially for feasts during the harvest season and holidays. Thanking the Gods for a bountiful harvest, and for having enough food to feed one's household.

You can do it, or even affirm that the food is healthy for you and that your body is assimilating all the nutrients correctly. I've done this, started doing it when I was new but don't always think to do it.

This is very easy you just have to focus on the food when saying the affirmation, visualization is secondary and will naturally came if you are relaxed and experienced.

The difference between blessed and non-blessed.

Blessed felt lighter, purer, you can feel the taste a little better. After a few hours it didn't feel heavy.

Non-blessed it still felt good, but without the above extra benefits, after too.

Longterm it can do the difference I think, for now I just tried the above today.

I'll try 1 month of blessed one, and see if there are changes.

About the prayer for the meal, is it appropriate to asking for blessings to the animals or plants souls that you are about to eat?

Overall you advance life.

The prayer the would look like this:

"O Lord Zeus, O Father, I humbly ask You to bless the food that I'm about to consume, I ask You to bless the food of your Initiated.
I ask to You O Father, to bless in accordance to your will all the souls of the animals and plants that provided me this meal.
May this food only bring good to me, may it give me strenght and wellbeing.
Hail Lord Zeus!!!"

Then in regard of advancing life around you, can this create good karma, and avoiding bad karma of some sort?
