Manifest your wish to find or reveal something.
This is the earliest childhood memory I have of making cake and magic. I was taught to believe in its magic by my mother and grandmother that it always worked whenever I needed to find something, it was miraculous indeed!
Saint Phanourios is the saint of lost things, lost souls, lost or misplaced anything really and is celebrated on the 27th of August. His name comes from the Greek word “Phanerono ”, meaning “I reveal”.
The cake is traditionally prepared with 7 ingredients. The number 7 is a highly spiritual number, that is associated with intuition, mysticism, wisdom and deep inward knowing. In Greek Orthodox religion it symbolises the seven sacred mysteries and 7 days of creation.
Ingredients:
360gr Vegetable Oil
360gr Orange Juice
300gr Sugar
1tsp Cinnamon
500gr Self Raising Flour
100gr Walnuts
100gr Sultanas or Cranberries
Method:
Mix all wet ingredients with sugar, walnuts and sultanas. While mixing add your intent and wish to find what you are looking for or what you want revealed.
Sift flour and add to the mixture.
Bless and bake at 170C for 50 minutes.
Allow to cool and if you wish you can light a candle and let it burn or take it to church if you prefer for a priest to bless it.
You can also dust with icing sugar which is optional.
The cake is then traditionally cut into 40 pieces and shared.
I hope you enjoy this recipe and find whatever you have lost.
Much love and magick to you all!
Blessed be,
