Changing Paths challenge day 22: feast

I love to have a feast (shared food / Pagan potluck) in sacred space, so that we are feasting with the gods. However it’s got a bit impractical with the numbers of people involved and so we tend to have our feast after circle these days.

I love the symbolism of foods that are connected with each festival: citrus fruits for midsummer, beer and bread for Lammas, apples, nuts, and berries for Autumn Equinox, hearty soups and root vegetables for Halloween/Samhain, puddings for Yule, white food for Imbolc, eggs for Spring Equinox, sweet things for Beltane.

I chose the Reepicheep illustration by Pauline Baynes because CS Lewis always had such great descriptions of food in his books. Only someone who knew what it was like to be hungry could write about food like that. Which reminds me, please donate to World Central Kitchen.
