Fresh Basil Pesto Pasta for Abundance
For the month of July I will be working with the plant basil in some magical workings. Magically, basil can help attract, love, abundance, prosperity, courage, and luck. It also has some great protective and purifying qualities. For today’s recipe, I am particularly looking to draw out its abilities to attract abundance.
While abundance magick is typically thought of as money drawing magick, it is way more than that. At its core it is the sense of having your cup completely full and an overflowing of abundance in every part of your life. Abundance happens when you move from a lack mindset to an abundance mindset. Once you do this, it will be come easier for you to manifest your dreams and attract money, love, courage, and more.
I find that the best way for me to fill my cup with abundance is to incorporate it into every part of my life, and what better way to do that than through my stomach. This delicious fresh summer pasta is the perfect way for us to sit in abundance.
When you are washing the basil think about how you are washing away any negativity and blockages that could be preventing you from reaching that feeling of abundance. When you are pulsing together the ingredients think about how the universe has a way of bringing together everything you need to obtain abundance. When you are combining all of the ingredients and bringing this dish to life, think about how like this dish you have the power to create abundance.
