Simple feast

The simple feast is a great way to help ground yourself and release any leftover energy from your workings. It is also a great way to continue the celebration by choosing foods that follow the holiday theme and to ease yourself back into the mundane.

It can be a simple or elaborate as you like. Most keep it simple, having cakes (think pastries, cookies, baked goods) and wine (or milk or juice).

It is important to ask the Goddess and God to bless the food and wine first and be sure to leave them an offering.

Here are some examples of feast blessings and offerings:

Offering
Lady of the moon, of the restless sea and verdant Earth,
Lord of the Sun and of the wild creatures,
Accept this offering I place here in your honor.
Grant me the wisdom to see your presence in all nature, O Great Ones.
(Scott Cunningham)
