Folk Magic of Bread

from The Frightful Howls You May Hear · host With Cunning and Command

Sfinga and Key explore a sample of folk magical traditions involving that ever-faithful ally: bread. In addition to revisiting old debates over the leavened or unleavened Eucharist, they go over different techniques of capturing timing, forces of nature, and even stars in bread, finding thieves and cleansing ills, and helping the dead pass on into the afterlife with just water, salt, yeast, and flour.
