What is a Magical Recipe?
A magical recipe is any recipe that’s made with a specific intention in mind. Each of the ingredients that go into the dish add specific energy to work towards your intention’s manifestation! Just like in a normal spell, you should visualize your goal as having happened. As you prepare and add the ingredients, state how its energy helps your spell. Visualize that whoever eats your cooking gets your intention manifested!
This particular lamb shank recipe contains ingredients that help remove negative energy from your family and allows the room to reconnect with relatives and ancestors!
