Lore: Squash was cultivated in the Americas as early as 4000 B.C.E. Several Indian tribes honored this plant. One striking Hopi kachina is depicted with a squash head, and squash blossom necklaces are modern reminders of the original sacredness of this simple plant.
Magical uses: Eat this vegetable in dishes designed to increase awareness of the nonphysical reality around us. It is a fine spirituality-inducing food. At least for magical purposes, a squash is a squash, baked or fresh, acorn, hubbar, or zucchini.
Many people, of course, dislike squash. If you're one of them. avoid this food or eat sweetened zucchini bread.
My favorite zucchini dish is mucver, a Turkish zucchini fritter.
