How some of these edible charms are described makes me think they were sorta like tablets or edible vaccines, except faith-based.

Unless someone actually used them as medicine and then just perscribed faith-based/supernatural powers to them (so people wouldn't complain/accuse them of being witches)

I too have been known to eat small squares of paper to facilitate communion with the divine.

Back in the day people pirated miracles because mp3s didn't exist yet.
