H
eard the phrase
‘drink the ocean
dry’? According to Norse
legend, the God Thor was
challenged to drinking
contest by the giant
Utgard-Loki.
He failed to drain his horn
despite his best efforts as
the giant had connected it
to the ocean. As a mark of
respect for Thor’s bravery,
the seas rose and fell every
day, and the tides that reveal
our sandy beaches were born!Did you know?
S
ugary and sweet, it’s easy to see why
doughnuts are associated with love.
It’s the shape that’s important. A solid
round doughnut signifies completeness
and will help to cement a partnership,
particularly if shared together.
If you’re looking for love, then plump
for one with a hole. As you eat, visualise
the doughnut complete, while picturing
yourself in the arms of your ideal partner.
Jam is essential.
Go for strawberry if you’re looking for lasting
romance, or raspberry for flirty fun.^S
pun sugar, or candy floss
as it’s better known, has
been popular since the
18th Century.
Originally called fairy floss
because of its light-as-air
appearance and super sweet
taste, it’s easy to imagine it as a
popular fey treat.
In reality, any sugary gift was a
common offering to the Brazilian
and African Gods, and used in
magic to get swift results.
However, a sticky candy
floss face is not the best
look to draw admirers!
Instead, eat while
imagining yourself smothered
in pink floss. You’ll win hearts
without the extra mess!W
ant to warm the cockles
of your heart? Whether
the sun is shining or not,
eating cockles has long
been thought of as a way
to lift the spirits.
The shells were used
by the ancients in spells
for love, friendship and
communication, so even if
you don’t like the taste you
can still benefit.
Get out on the beach and
search for a cockle shell.
Once you’ve found one that
appeals, place it by mementos
and photos of happy holidays,
outings with friends and family, and
uplifting quotes.A
re you partial to a delicious crab dinner?
Then you’re onto a winner!
Crabs are thought to have highly
protective qualities. The Japanese
would nail their shells to doors to
keep harmful energies at bay,
while in China the crab is a
symbol of success.
Our ancestors believed that
the crab was also associated
with rebirth because of the
way it could cast off its shell for
a shiny new one.Eat
with a simple
affirmation to
re-enforce the
positive effects. In your
head, repeat: ‘Every
