This presentation is an introduction into foods with their magical correspondences, and how the addition of working with foods magically may benefit the magician. The elemental aspects of character by Franz Bardon will introduce the material with his working with the elements. This analysis will transfer to the elemental workings of the plants we eat, to include the food element’s ruling planet, astrological sign, and corresponding chakra of influence. All correspondences add to our understanding of choosing the right foods for feasts for magical intent. The Thelemic Calendar will be reviewed for influencing forces throughout the year, and one menu will be specifically analyzed. The newly released book, The Thelemic Cookbook: Cooking with Correspondences, will be available for purchase and serve as a supportive and useful text on the subject.

This presentation definitely falls under the Care and Feeding of a Thelemic Community. This will be an introduction to Thelemic feasting, cooking with correspondences, and how everyone can benefit by eating according to the magical aspects in which foods can affect us. I will touch on Franz Bardon’s elemental aspects of character and the importance of working with the elements, particularly and internally through food. I will briefly outline the Thelemic Calendar and introduce ways of enhancing our seasons, rites, holy days and our initiations, with correct corresponding foods for those events. And by specific example, I will take one menu and break it down, explaining why certain foods and their preparation offers each guest the opportunity to increase their magic with feasting as a personal and direct method for working with the nature of food.
My book, The Thelemic Cookbook: Cooking with Correspondences, will be available by this date to offer as a supportive and useful text on the subject.
