Sunday

Today is the sun's day, and to honor the sun, I decided to hit the kitchen and make some foods the remind me of the sun, whether in color, heat, or (masculine) energy.

Carrots - Masculine. Obviously a phallic symbol. The orange color resembles the sun, especially when the vegetable is sliced into discs.

Dill - Masculine. Ruled by Mercury. Element: Fire.
Uses: intelligence, mental powers, psychic powers, self-improvement, study, travel, and wisdom. Can also be used in love spells.

Parsley - Increases sexual energy and increases fertility (w00t!)

Onion - Same as parsley

I have included some feminine ingredients today as well. Yogurt is one. I am also going to share a lentil recipe with you. Lentils are ruled by the Moon. Tomorrow is the moon's day and I am getting ready.

Now, some books state that we should not incorporate ingredients with conflicting energies into the same recipes. For example, you do not want to make a recipe that includes foods for promoting psychic or mental powers with ingredients that promote increased sexuality. However, I am not making anything for a specific magical purpose. I'm cooking because I'm bored, hungry, and have some ingredients to get rid of before I travel to the US for my vacation!
