Historically witches practiced food magic with a variety of tools used to add power to their rituals. They used crystals, essences, incense, oils, and affirmations, to help channel the power. The ancients were known to eat foods containing a specific energy for the reasons of, strength and safety in battle, successful childbirth, prosperity, love and sex. Around the world food is still used for magic, no wedding is complete without a wedding cake, and when the cake is eaten, a wish is made for health and happiness.

THE SPIRIT OF PLANTS

August 05, 2017

Gustav Theodor Fechner began experimenting with plants in 1839, hoping to discover the nature of “after image”( after image, is the image that continues on the eye after staring at the sun). He began to stare at the Sun and several days after beginning his experiment, Fechner realised he was going blind. He withdrew into a darkened room praying for Divine intervention, hoping his sight would return. He remained in darkness for three years, and when he did venture into the sunlight found that his sight had returned. Thanking the powers that be, he stood by the water taking in the beauty of the flowers and plants near the water. He began to contemplate that plants had a soul and turned from the study of physics to the study of philosophy.

THE SIXTH SENSE OF PLANTS

In the 1960?s Clive Backster, a lie-detector examiner, decided to add some greenery to his office, and thus began a passion for plants and their place in the world. In essence he opened Pandora’s box, as the science of plants became a lifelong study. He developed what would be known as the “Backster Effect.” For Backster, the journey began in 1966, late one evening when he decided impulsively to attach electrodes of one of his lie detectors to the leaf of his dracaena plant. Known as the dragon tree, because of the myth that it yields dragon’s blood. Backster wanted to see if the plant would be affected if he poured water directly onto the roots of his plant, and how soon would it take the effects to show. The plant absorbed the water and Backster was surprised that it didn’t show less resistance to the greater electrical conductivity of the moister, the pen on the graph moved downwards instead of moving upwards.
