Magic Monday 12 8
Hey it's Chris
I think there are two times a year where magic feels real
Or rather, where it’s easier for non-believers to believe
Because I know a secret most don’t
Magic is real
And if you give me a moment, I’ll prove it to you
First, put a pot on the stove
A couple of quarts deep should do
Add water and turn on the burner
Watch that still, cold water start to boil and bubble
like magic, right?
Something cold turned hot
Something still gone all a tumble
Now put a piece of chicken in that pot
and let it roll around in that pot of boiling water
The chicken starts to crumble and shift from the bone
and it transforms the water into broth
Chop up bits of a washed potato into that broth
And the firm potato softens to mash
Swap out the potato for an egg still in the shell
and it gets hard
Magic
Stand over that rolling cauldron of chicken potato water
Dash in salt and pepper and paprika
Dash in garlic powder and chopped up onion
And let it simmer for just so long
Put in your choice of just about any veggies
Watch them all change
And merge
And combine from individual ingredients into something more
You call it soup
At least that’s what we say in the common tongue
But for those in the know
It’s magic that can cast a spell over just about anyone
When done the right way
A contentment spell
A re-memory of days gone past
A fulfillment spell
Or a spell of long lasting comfort if you make enough for leftovers
Want some more magic in your life?
Mondays are for magic and if you’ve been subscribed to the It’s 9AM substack then you know what’s coming.
But since all spells need clarity and clarification, I’ll say it again.
Changes in the algo’s on Amazon and Youtube and everywhere else (including substack) mean we’re going to niche down.
It also means brand new unique content, but only centered around your interests.
This one is for wizards, witches and supernatural adventures:
Like Ware the Cats of War.
Like Witch Blues and the Marshal of Magic.
