Kitchen magic is the act of sharing the natural magic of the Earth and home, serving everything with care and intention. Kitchen magic is an extremely Earth-centered/based magical practice; as the author of The Kitchen Witch Handbook (Aurora Kane) puts it, kitchen magic is “...a way to care for our planet as it cares for us.”
With that being said, I wanted to take the time to point out that all foods have magical properties; and it is always a good idea to prepare food with respect and/or honor; as what you put in is what you’ll get out!
Now, I’ve been considering myself a Kitchen Witch for a little while at this point, so what I’m about to say in this next section is entirely optional and all of my own opinions. You do not need fancy tools to be a kitchen witch/do kitchen witchcraft! If you’ve got a pot, a pan, a spoon, and maybe an oven/stove top/microwave, and food that needs cooking—you’re good to go!Â
Though if you have any of the following, or know where to get these for CHEAP; please reblog this with what you have/where you can get these things!
Truth be told, the most fundamental tools any kitchen witch should be at least somewhat familiar with are the four elements.Â
These elements are what gave us food in the first place, and they are what is going to help us make something delicious!
Here is a list of frilly tools that I think could be a fun addition to your craft:
Apron(s); these can be considered your ritual clothing!
Besom; this can aid you in cleaning your space, and sweep away negativity!
Cauldron; this can be your most favorite pot—preferably something big enough to make a good stew, though any size will do.
Chalice; this can be your most favorite cup in your whole house! It does NOT need to be anything elaborate!
Cookbooks/journals; can act like your grimoire/book of shadows!
Fork, Knife, and Spoon; very essential for some meals to eat with these!
Mortar and Pestle; for grinding up things and stuff
Tea Kettle; when you’re super tired after a long day and all you want is ramen but you don’t want to wait for the water to boil, use a tea kettle.
I really hope that this helps someone out there!! If you have any questions please let me know! I'd love to answer them!!
