Recipe Notes

Make it a Magickal Recipe:
Squash is one of the key elements in the story of The Sisters. Squash is called the Sustaining Sister and is well known for its attributes of prosperity and nourishment. Squash is also believed to be useful in deepening relationship with friends, family and lovers. In times of turmoil use squash to “get people on your side” when the situation calls for it.
