The Cake of Light is the eucharistic host found within Thelema, the religion founded by English occult writer Aleister Crowley in 1904. A cake of light contains flour, honey, Abramelin oil, olive oil, beeswing, and bodily fluids such as semen, menstrual blood, vaginal fluids, or a mix thereof. It is usually cooked in the shape of a small, flat wafer. It appears by name in two important Thelemic rituals, the Gnostic Mass and the Mass of the Phoenix.
