Our ancestors used to eat based on the cycles of the seasons. They were aware of where the food came from and would honor the spirits for offering up a good harvest, and would give offerings for ones that weren't so good. Think about how you eat, do you eat to the cycles of the seasons? Soups and stews in winter? fresh fruits and vegies through spring and summer? Grains in the fall?
Think of some different foods that you would like to try and where they would fall in the cycle of the seasons.
The second part of this assignment is write a blessing for you food, and implement it. If you wish to share your thoughts or blessing you can post it below.
Blessed be the hands that made the food, Blessed be the hands that worked the fields and farmed what is present Blessed be those who ingest the food Blessed be all who walk the path, and are nourished by the food So be it.
This is my blessing.
