Magical Cooking - Food Blessing

Once you have prepared your dish/meal that included magic, you should say a little blessing. You can either say it alone over the dish of food, or wait until you get to the table if you are eating with others, sit at the table and each link little fingers to form a circle before saying the following words.

Yes I know, we were blessing our food long before churches were a thing!

"Goddess of the verdant plain

God of the sun ripe grain

Goddess of the cooling rain

God of the fruit and the cane

Bless this meal I have prepared

Filled with the magic I have bared

So mote it Be"

You could do this blessing on individual ingredients before you start to cook and just change the wording slightly, but sometimes it is just nice to sit together like a family and give thanks to the gods/ess for all they provide.
