Key Lime Cream Pie
In Wiccan tradition, food is a powerful tool for manifesting intentions, invoking energies, and celebrating the natural world. And what better way to do all these things than with a slice of delicious, tangy key lime cream pie?
Key lime cream pie is believed to have magical properties that promote joy, abundance, and vitality. Key limes are associated with the element of fire, and are believed to ignite passion, creativity, and transformation. By combining them with the sweetness of condensed milk and the richness of whipped cream, Wiccans can create a delicious dessert that celebrates the power of the natural world and the magic of the elements.
Key Lime Pie
On the summer solstice, I celebrate Litha The longest day and the shortest night I honor the sun and the earth with a feast And a slice of key lime pie so bright
The pie is made with fresh limes and cream And a crust of graham crackers and butter It has a touch of magic in every bite That makes me feel happy and flutter
I enjoy the pie with a cup of tea And a smile on my face I thank the sun for his warmth and light And the earth for her beauty and grace
