The Occult History of Bread & Baking
Join author, chef and witch Melissa Madara for a deep look at the history of bread and baking in the occult and magical arts!
Melissa is the author of The Witch's Feast: A Kitchen Grimoire, a magical cookbook that looks at the tools & techniques of culinary magic throughout history, considering what a modern practice of kitchen witchcraft might look like today. In this lecture, we will focus our gaze on bread & baking, looking at the cakes, loaves, buns, and bakes of witches past, and the significance of grains and bread in culinary magic and mysticism.
