Do something unusual, unique and exceptional this Valentine’s Day. Prepare a meal with ingredients that boost the energy of love, passion and lust.
According to the Complete Idiot’s Guide to Wicca and Witchcraft (Amaranth 2000), there are some magickal foods that can indeed enhance romance. The following recipes contain these sexy ingredients – literally spicing up Valentine’s plans this year!
Equally important is putting loving thoughts into these dishes while cooking them. Thinking passionately about a sweetie in terms of the five senses (touch, smell, taste, sight and sound) will infuse the recipes with amorous vibrations.

The herbs in this recipe carry loving and passionate energy.
Mix the following together:
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ¼ tsp celery seeds
- ¼ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp dried mustard
- 1 tsp dried parsley
Brush spice mixture onto pieces of chicken.
Place coated chicken on foil-lined baking sheet and bake on middle rack of a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees, until fully cooked: bone-in chicken for 40-45 minutes, boneless chicken for 20 minutes. Since ovens vary in temperature, these are guidelines only.
Easy Magickal Valentine’s Cake Recipe
The special ingredients in this cake are vanilla and raspberries, which have the properties of love and attraction. Another way to really boost the love in this recipe is to add red color energy by using food coloring.

- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2/3 cup milk
- ¼ cup oil
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp natural vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
In a bowl combine flour, sugar and baking powder. Add milk, oil, egg and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed til combined. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Stir in raspberries. Pour batter into a greased and floured heart-shaped pan.
Bake in a 350-degree oven for 25 – 30 minutes or till a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Frost with pink icing.
Celebrating Valentine’s this year will be more exciting and passionate, once you’ve fed your sweetie a magickal salad, chicken entrée and Valentine’s cake that have been infused with your love.
