Blessings of the Winter Solstice to you all ♥
I had to
finish the 12 days with chocolate…it appears at nearly every festival and
celebration but that’s because it is very important…
Chocolate
(Theobroma
cacao)
Now where do
I start? I have to tell you I take my
writing job seriously and I do a huge amount of research…this particular
subject took some time…and involved a lot of practical investigation…
Chocolate is
made from the cacao bean with a combination of cocoa solids, cocoa butter, fat
and sugar then sometimes milk powder or condensed milk. White chocolate contains no cocoa solids just
cocoa butter, sugar and milk which in my own opinion should be banned…bleuch!
The darker
the chocolate the higher the cocoa content, I have actually eaten 99% dark
chocolate…it made my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth…not recommended but I
do like a nice 70% dark chocolate or a milk chocolate or any chocolate really
just not white…
You don’t
have to waste … ahem… I mean use your actual chocolate bars in spell work,
cocoa powder works very well and it doesn’t melt which is always a bonus.
We have the
Mayans and the Aztecs to thank for coming up with chocolate originally in the
form of a beverage which was believed to be of divine origin (and I whole
heartedly agree).
The cacao
beans were used by the Mayans for currency so chocolate works extremely well in
prosperity magic.
Chocolate
makes you feel good…FACT. It raises your
emotional energy and gives you a warm fuzzy feeling so add it to any workings
with that intent in mind.
Chocolate is
associated with the heart chakra so that links it perfectly with love, along
with a very long tradition of presenting chocolates to a lady to win her
affections.
It is also
nice to take a flash of hot chocolate to rituals…to help ward off the cold when
you are standing outside in the middle of a forest with the rain pouring down…
A mug of hot
chocolate is also a good carrier to add other ingredients to for any magical
workings.
