My Cook Book Blessing

For the domestic witch, a recipe book is something more than just a book filled with recipes.  It's a book filled with memories of time spent with friends and family and meals shared in good times and not so good. Whether kept in a shoe box or a bound journal, a recipe collection, for the domestic witch, will be honored as high as a book of shadows.  
A book blessing, either borrowed or  created, can said over the collection each time it's used or on a regular basis:  during the full moon or every year on a certain sabbat - whatever feels right to the individual witch!  The blessing can also be placed in or on the book to help bring blessings upon all that is created with it.  
Here is my personal book blessing*:
In this book my recipes do reside
Traditions and memories locked inside.
I ask that this book be blessed from above
And all created with it be filled with your love.
Blessed be.

Love it for its simple way and stright to the point. My book of recipes is so old and stained with butter and chocolate, lol! I agree, it is sacred for the memories held. And I owe you my pamonha recipe, didn't forget it!


Loved the pages photo you shared!
Kisses!

My recipe book and my BoS are actually kept in the same binder; one's just as sacred for mew as the other.
Love the blessing!
