SOUL CAKES

Having fun cooking on Halloween. 

SOUL CAKES

Kitchen witch stirs

the Samhain bowl,

soaked hedge berries

mixed with nuts of hazel,

steeped in warm spice

and hot, strong tea,

sifted puffs of flour

sweetened with dark sugar,

whisked with egg lift,

candle lit to the spirits

of nature and ancestors,

each spoon blessed to

best serve her beloveds.
