“In a way, this is sad. It suggests that the kitchen is a place to avoid, a place where we ought to spend the least amount of time possible. We have come to regard food preparation and domestic activity as things that have to be done before we get to do the other rewarding things in life. . . The feminist revolution of the latter half of the twentieth century succeeded in opening the workplace to women, but, unfortunately, in so doing it suggested that domestic management was somehow inferior to work done elsewhere.”

-Arin Murphy-Hiscock, The House Witch (2018)

Kitchen Witch Essentials

I want to preference this by saying your priorities of tools for your craft will vary as you get more experienced. If you get more into baking, you may choose to invest in a kitchen mixer. If your path goes more down drinks, you might want to get a French press. This list is for those starting out or looking to maintain general witchy cooking. Nothing on this list is mandatory, so don't feel like you need to go spend money just because it's on this list.

This list will also assume you have general kitchen stuff, like pots, pans, and knives. You may not have everything, but you have enough to cook.

Wooden Spoon

If for whatever reason you don't have a wooden spoon, and you want to do kitchen magic, I strongly recommend you go and get one. You can get them at any store that sells Kitchen Utensils, including the dollar store.

For some kitchen witches, the wooden spoon is like a magic wand. Allowing the witch to direct energy. Personally, I just enjoy using natural materials whenever I can. Also, it's just such a useful tool to have when cooking. You can stir your food on stove top, and since it's made of wood you don't need to worry about damaging non stick surfaces. If you're boiling pasta, stirring with a wooden spoon helps get rid of the foam overboil. You can also just leave the spoon over the pot to prevent pasta water overboiling. Baking bread? Flip the spoon around and use the handle to bring the dough together.

Some people choose to add sigils or other symbols onto their witchy spoons. If you decide to do this, please do not use paint or stain, as this can come off while cooking. Unless this will be a display only spoon, of course. Safest way is to laser burn a design. Check etsy for custom spoons.

Herbs/Spices you know the properties of

I'm sure you already have some non perishable Herbs or Spices in your pantry or spice rack. Black Pepper, Garlic powder, Cinnamon, Paprika, that kind of thing. I want you to pick one and deep dive into the history of that Herb/Spice. What it's been used for in the past, what are some common magical properties and associations; what do YOU associate with it. Write down the magical association, like protection, banish negativity, prosperity, ect. Start with one, work your way up to three. If you have trouble memorizing, keep a little cheat sheet near by.

Now when you add these seasonings, you know what energies you can add/attract with your food.

Mortar and Pestle

If you already have another way to grind spices, like a coffee grinder, this does not need to be a priority. And if you have arm or shoulder issues, I don't recommend using. The main benefit to using a mortar and pestle is the crushing style of grinding tends to release more aroma and flavor then the cutting style of a coffee grinder. If you plan to just use for dry spices, you won't need a very big or fancy one. 20 dollars should get you something small and solid.

Make sure you are getting one made of stone. I tried a wooden one and it's garbage. I use it to hold messy spoons. There are also metal ones, and while I've never tried one, I encourage caution. I worry about long term use stripping whatever coating is stopping it from rusting.

Jars

Glass Jars are so great to have in the kitchen. Leftover sauce? Put it in a jar. Suddenly made a jam? We got jars to put it in. Meal prep overnight oats? Jars are here for you! They're just great for storage. And you don't need to buy them. Lots of things come in jars; just give them a hot soapy soak, scrap the label off, wash and reuse. If you prefer mason jars, I recommend washing the lids by hand. The lids aren't meant to be reused for jarring, so they rust fairly quickly after a few washes. You can buy replacement lids, however.

Plastic Containers

Jars are great, but things get a little dicey when you want to put stuff in the freezer. Water likes to make sure everyone knows it's cold by puffing up bigger; like look at me, I'm freezing here! Which means, there's a chance your glass jar can shatter.

But freezing food is the best way to preserve food since you don't need to add anything like extra salt or sugar. So get some freezer safe containers. I love making batches of broth and stock, and freeze it for later. Or if we have a lot of leftovers, I'll freeze enough for a dinner another week, incase I don't have enough spoons to make dinner one evening. And don't worry, you can wash and reuse plastic containers too.

I'll also freeze food I notice is starting to go weird. If I buy a huge bag of baby spinach, but can't get through it all, I'll transfer it to a freezer bag. Adding frozen spinach to food as it cooks is one of the easiest ways to up your nutrients. You can also freeze other vegetables, just make sure you cut them up first.

Crock Pot/Slow Cooker

Every Witch Needs a Cauldron, and these are Electric Cauldrons. Prices vary mainly based on the size you want. There are different brands, different colors; you can even get some in the theme of your favorite fandom. But they all have the same 3 core settings: High, Low, and keep warm.

Slow cookers are....well, slow. Which is great for certain kinds of food that need to sit for a long time, like meats. But it's also great for Kitchen Witches with a lot going on. Non witches will "Set it and forget it" but it's a good idea to stir every once in a while. Which is where the magic comes in. So, if you're a scatter brained Witch, Like me, or have ADHD and have trouble focusing, an electric cauldron might be for you. Throw everything together in 15 minutes, then give it love and attention when you remember. Normally that happens when you start to smell the food.

Again, this is my preference. Some Kitchen Witches I know prefer to identify a specific pot as their cauldron. Some went and got an actual full size, cast iron cauldron; which is amazing but not feasible for most. I grew up using a slow cooker, so I'm very comfortable around one. But if it's not your thing; that's fine. Maybe your cauldron will be a rice cooker or a Boston Shaker.

I need baby witch advice!!!!!! 🧙‍♀️

I’ve been in a major depressive slump so my house has gotten extremely messy. I’m paying to get my house cleaned tomorrow, and I’m wondering if anyone has a ritual they can suggest for cleansing the house in a witchy way lol. I keep seeing suggestions to use white sage but it’s my understanding that as a white person, that practice is unethical and inappropriate. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!! ✨

Hearth & Home Witchcraft by Jennie Blonde (a full book review) 🔥🪵🏠🍞🍅

5/5 stars

I love this book for a variety of reasons, one being that it is very low pressure compared to other books on witchcraft that I’ve read. Other books tend to sound preachy and pressure the reader into doing rigorous activities, while this book acknowledges that not everyone can or should do everything listed in the book. As a reader, I felt comforted by the idea that I can select what resonates with my practice from the material, and it wouldn’t feel weird or out of context just because I didn’t do everything else suggested. Jennie does have a somewhat Wiccan influence on her practice, but it doesn't infiltrate the book to the extent where its annoying to non Wiccan practitioners like me. I love that she gives practical ways to use herbs in household cleaning, explaining both magical and mundane properties of very accessible plants and oils. This book was heart warming and full of the childlike wonder it encourages. Its part on meditation was perhaps mislabeled, as what she described was more of a "mindfulness" practice. But either way, mindfulness is something that helped me tremendously with living a happier more present life. I skimmed over a lot of the baking recipes, but I might re-read that section when I have more time to bake later. -Velvet Rose 🌹

Anyone else find that they can have been out of touch with their craft for MONTHS, and then you get sick and all of a sudden you've pulled out your green & house witch reference books, the oil diffuser is out, Blackthorn's Botanical Magic is by your side, and you've prepared more herbal teas than any one person can realistically be expected to drink in less time than it takes to say "so mote it be"... or are you normal?

That Secret Magic Ingredient

For some people, doing kitchen magic just doesn't have the same impact vs something more glamorous. Crystals and candles and cauldrons and wands- all that looks and feels very Witchy from the start. But cooking...it's just so mundane. We've been cooking and eating our whole lives. It just doesn't feel special enough.

And while I prefer to encourage people to follow a path they are more drawn to, I'm aware Kitchen Witchcraft is a very useful path for those still "in the broom closet". You want ways to do magic without being noticed or exposed.

So I wanted to offer something I started doing as a way to add more magical energy on days I have low energy. It's a premade magic powder. Magic powders are common on many paths, as a way to add extra magical energy to a spell. They may also be used to ward areas. But not all transfer well into food, as some of the items used in magic powders are dangerous to consume. Glitter is commonly used.

While my magic powder is safe to eat, keep in mind of allergies. If you forget what's in the powder, don't use it for anyone who has allergies. This powder also works best in Savory foods, as it will not disrupt the flavor profile too much for most foods. I'm still figuring out a combo that works well in Sweet Foods, so let me know if interested.

1 Tbsp fine salt 1 tsp powder ginger 1 tsp Paprika 1 tsp ground celery seed 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp Oregano

Mix Together well in a small bowl or a mortar and pestle. Do this in a sunny place as solar energy can really help kick start the magic energy in your powder. Perhaps choose to sing an uplifting song or put on some music as you mix to ensure all energy going into the powder is positive. You may also wish to leave the powder in the sun to charge longer, or use other means to help charge. -Light an orange candle near by -Place the bowl of powder in another container of sunflower seeds -Rest a clean Crystal on the powder, like Citrine or Red Jasper. -Whatever feels right to you.

Once you feel your powder is well combined and charged, transfer it to an air tight container.

To use: Take a small pinch of the powder and add it to your food while cooking. The powder will help elevate the magical energy you already added to the food while making it.

House Spirits

Hello! Today we're going to be talking abour house spirits because I recently saw a post about them and they are often overlooked when it comes to spirit work.

What is a house spirit?

A house spirit is, as the name implies, the spirit attached to a house. Sometimes this can be a human spirit, a home guardian, or the spirit of the physical building depending on the house and its history.

Why are house spirits so important, and why do we so often overlook them?

House spirits are the very essence of the home. Do you appreciate the roof over your head? Do you appreciate the physical and energetic protection your home provides? Do you enjoy the comfort of youe home after a long day of work? You have your house spirit to thank for all of that. Unfortunately house spirits often get overlooked because people are more interested in "flashy" spirits, like angels, demons, deities and the like. We often dont stop to appreciate the house or nature spirits that make up most of our world.

How can I start working with my house spirit?

Get in communication with them! Use any divination method or just speak out loud to the house while no one is home and see if you feel an answer

Keep the house clean and maintained, physically and energetically. Even if house witchcraft isnt your main thing, house spirits love it when you show appreciation by taking care of them

Give the house spirit offerings

Say hello and goodbye to the house spirit when you come or go

Name your house

Offerings

If you so choose you can provide your house spirit with offerings to keep it strong and happy. This can be done anywhere in the home but in the kitchen or near the hearth is ideal. The "heart" of the home.

Some good offerings are...

🏡 Water

🏡 Wine

🏡 Mead

🏡 Milk

🏡 Sweets

🏡 A portion of your meal

🏡 Music

🏡 Cleaning

🏡 Anything else you feel your house spirit would like!

In Conclusion

I hope that after reading this you learn to appreciate your house spirit more (:

Happy witching! Blessed be!

- Cassidy 🪴
