Cake of Light

The Cake of Light is the eucharistic host found within Thelema, the religion founded by British mountain climber and occultist Aleister Crowley in 1904, as well as some neo-Gnostic religions. A common "cake of light" contains kamut flour, honey, Abramelin oil, olive oil, beeswing, ash, and sometimes ashes of particular 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.
