Cakes and ale is more of a ritual name or term. You can use anything you want for the ceremony. For the “ale” you could use hot tea, hot cocoa, juice – whatever appeals to you. This holds true for the “cake” as well.
Want to stay away from sugar treats? Try using strawberries and champagne.
While this ritual is more commonly practiced by modern wiccans, there is no reason that pagans of every flavor can’t partake in a tasty treat to celebrate the moon. Just celebrate being you!
For this new moon we decided to make some magic using an old family favorite, Crescent Moon Cookies.
