May 5..blessing of the food

Many shamans believe that everything should be blessed before coming involved with it, whether its a tree or another person or someones home or their food.  By blessing things, we cleanse it of bad energies.  We do not want any bad energies to take us over, only positive so we can do good work.

This technique was first taught to me by my mentor, Noupia.  He believed that your food should be blessed so that when you eat it you will be filled with good, positive energies.  Please keep in mind this blessing is also meant for wholesome, healthy foods.

I re-wrote this is for either Shaman or Wiccan use.

Perform this blessing over the food you are about to eat.

Begin by placing your hands, palms down, over the food.  Imagine a bright, white light moving from your hands into your food.  This light is one of health and vitality.  It is the light of the Great spirit or God and Goddess.  Move the energy into the food, energizing and blessing it.  Finish be giving your thanks for the food by saying:

Dear Goddess and God (or Great spirit)

Bless this food you have provided me

Thank you for your gift

In the name of the Lady and the Lord (or Great Spirit)

Blessed Be!

As you eat imagine eat bite making you feel healthier and stronger.
