    Air Foods

    The element of air is associated with communication, which is great for peacemaking Libra. Eat air foods when you want to open up channels of communication or stimulate logic and rationality.

    Lavender can help calm communication when Libra is trying to settle disputes and bring balance. Try this Lavender Cake for a bit of calm.

    Figs are one sexy fruit. They're obviously great in spells for fertility and seduction, but you can also use them for luck and abundance.

    • Fig Jam Crispy Prosciutto & Brie Grilled Cheese

    Lemongrass is very cleansing, and it's also great for communication and mental health. I prefer to infuse it into a drink.

    • Lemongrass Gin Cocktail
    • Lime Ginger & Lemongrass Infused Water

    Pine is deeply cleansing and protective. Pine nuts, which is the part we eat, are also full of fertile potential. And you can really grow something big with pine nut energy. If those tiny seeds can become massive trees, just think of what you can do with them in your spell.

    • Whipped Feta on Toast with pine nuts and honey
    • Gorgonzola Focaccia Bread

    Banana does exactly what you'd imagine. It's great for male fertility. It's also great for resilience, wealth, and luck.

    • Strawberry Banana Smoothie

    Black Beans help with creativity, communication, and decision making. Sounds like we definitely need all of those during Libra season.

    • Black Bean Chili with Bacon
    • Black Bean & Chorizo Soup

    Hazelnut brings wisdom and luck, and it's also used for granting wishes. Obviously, I prefer it paired with chocolate in the form of a creamy spread.

    • Nutella Cheesecake Parfaits
    • Nutty Nutella Boozy Milkshake

    Coffee brings a boost of energy to your spell and removes energetic blockages. Personally, I think it tastes gross, so I use coffee energy in the form of Kahlua.

    • Brown Elephant Cocktail
    • White Russian Milkshake
    • Mudslide Milkshake

    Rice is great for prosperity and protection. Scatter grains around the perimeter of your home to ward off malicious spirits, or leave a bowl out in your house to absorb negative energy. Obviously, don't eat that rice.

    • Lemon Risotto
    • Coconut Basmati Rice
    • Bacon & Corn Risotto

    Cheese is my favorite food, and it also brings happiness, which I find totally logical. It's also a symbol of transformation.

    • Whipped Ricotta

    What's in season for Libra

    The sun's transit into Libra marks the day of Mabon as well, which is the second harvest festival in the wheel of the year. This sabbat's symbol is the cornucopia, so this season is just overflowing with fresh food. Get it while you can because winter is coming.

    Butternut Squash is a quintessential fall food. Try it in these Butternut Squash Stuffed Shells.

    I associate chestnuts with Christmas, but I think this Chestnut Soup would be delicious throughout the colder months.

    Bell Peppers are so fresh and bright. I love the balance of sweetness and just a hint of heat that they bring to a dish.

    • Vegan Sweet Corn & Roasted Bell Pepper Soup
    • Easy Cheesy Stuffed Peppers

    Blackberries and their brambles are all over mythology. I'm looking at you, Sleeping Beauty. The fruits are used to symbolize fertility, and the spiky branches are used for protection.

    • Blackberry & Brie Grilled Cheese
    • Cinnamon Whole Wheat Pancakes with Blackberry Brown Butter Syrup

    Carrots may not help you see in the dark, but they do bring the energy of love, creativity, and grounding.

    • Cornish Pasties
    • Maple Glazed Carrots

    Onion is the base of almost every savoury dish. Metaphysically, it can bring protection, fertility, and passion.

    • Pork & Onion Hand Pies
    • Bacon Goat Cheese & Green Onion Biscuits

    Salad and lettuce are coming toward the end of their season. It'll likely be tough winter greens from here on out. I'm fine with it, honestly.

    • Chef's Salad
    • Caesar Salad with Brown Butter Croutons

    Garlic is well-known in folklore for its protective qualities. It's also an aphrodisiac. I guess as long as you're both eating it, you won't notice the garlic breath.

    • Lemon Garlic Pasta
    • Easy Garlic Mac & Cheese

    Corn is delicous and also powerfully symbolic in magical practices. A symbol of abundance and fertility, corn is closely tied to the sacrifice of the harvest. It reminds us to give thanks to the plants and animals that died to feed us so that we may thrive.

    • Mexican Mac & Cheese
    • Corn & Green Onion Biscuits
    • Cheddar Corn Soup

    Turkey is not just for Thanksgiving, but Mabon is the witch's Thanksgiving, so get into it if you want.

    • Cranberry Glazed Turkey Meatloaf
    • Turkey Scallopini
    • Brined & Roasted Turkey Breast with Herb Gravy

    Tomatoes are a symbol of love and passion. They're also ridiculously abundant right now.

    • Spinach & Ricotta Stuffed Shells
    • Spaghetti & Sausage Meatballs
    • Easy Vegan Tomato Curry

    Apples are well known for their hidden pentagram. If you've been apple picking this fall, here are a few ideas to make use of your bounty.

    • Pork & Apple Hot Pot
    • Apple Butter
    • Orange & Amaretto Cider

    Pumpkin is back baby. I have no shame. I also don't really see the point of restricting ourselves to a season for something that we all get from a can. If you're roasting and pureeing your own pumpkins, I tip my hat to you.

    • Pumpkin Spice Gooey Butter Cake
    • Pumpkin Scones
    • Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

    Fresh herbs like chives, mint, parsley, rosemary, and sage are still in season. Make use of them while you still can.

    • Chicken & Goat Cheese Pasta with fresh rosemary
    • Smoked Cheddar & Sage Biscuits
    • Mint Limeade

    Chilies liven up your spells and blast obstacles out of your way. They're also freaking delicious, and I recommend adding them to most every recipe. These are a good place to start.

    • Black Pudding Hash with fresh chilies
    • Jalapeno Hush Puppies
    • Fiery Halloumi Salad with homemade Thai sweet chili sauce

    Beef is plentiful at this time of year. And you may still have nice enough weather to grill a burger outside for a few more weeks. Or make a big pot of chili. That's also awesome.

    • Gnocchi Chili
    • Peanut Butter & Jelly Burger
    • Jalapeno Cream Cheese Burger

    Potatoes bring that cozy, grounding energy we want in autumn. These delicious tubers are going to see us right through winter.

    • Rosemary Potato Rolls
    • Potato & Spinach Curry
    • Grilled Potato Foil Packets with Lemon Dill Creme Fraiche
