  Hildegard’s Cakes of Joy Perfume Oil

  Nutmeg (Nux muscata) has great heat and good moderation in its powers. If a person eats a nutmeg, it will open up his heart, make his judgment free from obstruction, and give him a good disposition. Take some nutmeg and an equal weight of cinnamon and a bit of cloves, and pulverize them. Then make small cakes with this and fine whole wheat flour and water. Eat them often. It will calm all bitterness of the heart and mind, open your heart and impaired senses, and make your mind cheerful. It purifies your senses and diminishes all harmful humors in you. It gives good liquid to your blood, and makes you strong.

   

  The best grain is spelt (spelta). It is hot, rich, and powerful. It is milder than other grains. Eating it rectifies the flesh and provides proper blood. It also creates a happy mind and puts joy in the human disposition.</em>

  – Hildegard von Bingen’s Physica, translated by Priscilla Throop

   

  A hearty, humor-balancing, cheer-inducing cake crafted with spelt, nutmeg, clove, and a dollop of honey.

  Mari Lwyd Perfume Oil

  An echo of the rites of Rhiannon, the Great Queen and Mother of Horses, the Mari Lwyd is a Midwinter tradition in Wales. The beribboned Grey Mare travels door to door with her entourage, seeking permission to wassail and initiate a contest of wit: the pwnco, a battle of improvised verses filled with good-natured ridicule set to song. If the Mari party were victorious, they were invited into the home to partake of ale and cakes and provide entertainment for the family.

  Welsh cakes and ale with a smattering of dried lavender.

  Far above enthroned in glory

  Sweetest Saint of Erin’s Isle

  See thy children kneel before thee

  Turn on us a Mother’s smile.

  Sancta Mater, hear our pleading

  Faith and hope and holy love

  Sweet St. Brigid, Spouse of Jesus,

  Sent to us from Heaven above.

  Sweet St. Brigid, Erin’s children,

  Far and near o’er land and sea

  In the world and in the cloister

  Fondly turn with love to thee.

  Sancta Mater, sooth the mourner

  Shield the weary tempted soul

  Sweet St. Brigid, guide thy children

  To thy bright and happy home.

   

  A bounty of butter, honey, and sweet cream.
