Fudge Brownies: A Love ( & Self Love!) Spell
The closer we get to Valentine Day, the easier it can be to see the love in the air.
Because of this it's also easy to pick and question every little thing about yourself or your relationship.
Maybe you're not feeling particularly romantic with your partner this year.
Maybe you're not sensing that love within the universe you see others have for each other.
Or maybe you're not seeing all the loveable, amazing things about you.
Either way, these brownies can help tap into that magick.
Ingredients and Their Magickal Properties
As I always mention in my recipe posts, the purpose of what I do as a kitchen witch relies on knowledge and intention.
Yes, this recipe will still taste delicious without transforming it into a spell. However, knowing your ingredients is essential to utilize this recipe to help change your mind, body, and spirit.
Below is a list of each added ingredient and its extraordinary power for this recipe. Please note that this is not every magickal benefit of this plant or herb, just the areas I believe should be focused on for this specific recipe.
Cacao - Chocolate
The Maya believed the cacao tree was from the gods—a gift of divine love that brought about people's well-being, especially concerning fertility.
Mother Earth provides this energy through Cacao's chemical compounds that release dopamine and serotonin into one who ingests the plant.
Chocolate is more than just a romantic treat. It also has attributes for relaxation, gratitude, and comfort, which is excellent when promoting a loving connection, whether it's with ourselves or another.
Magickal Uses: Peace/Relaxation, Comfort, Love, Gratitude, Happiness, Health.
Salt
It is such a seemingly minor ingredient, yet an essential one in both taste and energy. Anyone who has accidentally forgotten to add salt to a baked good can tell you how that little tsp is a stepping stone between amazing and disgusting.
Salt is associated with the earth element, making it excellent for grounding. I find when performing happiness or peace spells; it helps to utilize the power of grounding to help those get out of their thoughts and return to the physical.
Our salt for this spell is for purifying. We first pave the way by removing the negative to bring in positive energy. It's a simple concept but one of great power. This is why I try to add one purifying ingredient into all of my workings, as you're just increasing the power and success of your spell.
Magickal Powers: purification, grounding.
Vanilla
Our fermented orchid, vanilla, holds associations with the feminine, water, and Venus; therefore, it is all about tuning into our emotions, an exact spot to be to feel true happiness.
For a long time, folk magick utilized vanilla for love, very much carrying that Venus energy.
Similarly to chocolate, vanilla does also carry comfort and peace to help us relax into a loving emotion.
Magickal Powers: Love, Comfort, Peace
Wheat - Flour
Wheat has been used as worship for abundance for centuries. A good harvest was considered a foreshadowing of a year of good fortune.
Associated as gifts from gods and goddesses of Earth, it helped ground and bond communities. "Breaking Bread" is a well-known phrase developed through paganism worship, connecting those who shared and ate together.
For our spell, the flour helps provide us with the key to abundance. We want to be able to see and feel all the amazing things about ourselves and our loved ones.

How to Implement Magick into the Recipe
*When adding your ingredients, remember to focus on the intention of the ingredient while working with it. (I.E., when folding in your flour, focus on the intention of abundance.
Not just the idea, but how does it make you feel? How does having these things in your life manifest?
I also recommend using the intentional stirring and speaking method to add to this spell. Stir counterclockwise for energies that need to be removed and clockwise for energies you wish to implement while speaking your incantations (or intention) out loud.
For example, I would stir clockwise when adding the vanilla while speaking to the pot.
Spirit of vanilla, bless this dish with communal love and comfort.
I recommend also consecrating via an incantation when the recipe is all said and done. Although I always recommend creating your own, as spells tend to be more powerful, you can also use the incantation below:
Through this dish, I bring in the blessings of love. May those who eat this dish, experience the love they deserve within themselves and with whom their soul is meant. So as it's been, so as it is, so as it may be.

powdered sugar, optional

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. (Spirit of flour, may you bless this dish with abundance. Spirit of salt, may you bless this dish by removing any obstacles in our path of love. Spirit of cocoa, may you bless this dish with love, passion, and comfort).
In a separate large bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and vanilla (Spirit of vanilla, may you bless this dish with love).
Add eggs, beating until combined.
Add brewed coffee and mix.
Add in chocolate chips and combine.
Pour into a prepared 9x11 pan and put in the oven. Through this dish, I bring in the blessings of love. May those who eat this dish experience the love they deserve within themselves and with whom their soul is meant. So as it's been, so as it is, so as it may be.
Bake for around 20 - 25 minutes until the middle is no longer jiggly (but will still come out wet when doing a knife test).
Eat with the intention of love and comfort.
