Modern Day Urban Pagan Eating, Anyone?
So, I've been doing my research about Spring Food, and just recently I googled "Spring Pagan Food" (which I highly recommend doing), and I found this. It is from a website for Cauldron Farm in Central Mass, and they are part of Asphodel, which is a pagan religious community. I am thoroughly obsessed, not in a cultish way, but in a fascinated/understanding kind of way. This article I found maps the Pagan seasonal calendar and describes what our ancient ancestors ate during these times. I really like the consideration of applying this to my life now in 2008, in Brooklyn. Who wants to be a modern day urban pagan eater with me? We are just ending the season of Imbolc, which is that nasty cold late winter/early spring time. It is also the time of the egg. At work this weekend, my Sicilian/Australian friend Francesco brought in his Vegemite (a weakness of mine) and as we had our early morning Vegemite, butter, and toast he told me his concoction of a recipe for how this famous trio is enjoyed best: You add avocado and a poached egg. Ever since then I've been dreaming of eating this, and it is going to happen this week. I will document it for sure. I'm not even much of an egg person, but my palate has definately been craving gooey poached eggs, and now I know why. Because I am a Pagan, it is the time of Imbolc, the time of the egg. K.R.A.K.'s Spring season will be right on time for Ostara and Beltane, so get ready to rock the greens with me. Read on (scroll down until you see Imbolc and Ostara mentioned if you want to know what I'm talking about, but the whole article is really cool-- thanks Raven)
