Bewitchin tips
It does not take a lot of work, time, or money to transform an ordinary kitchen into a magical workplace. To begin with, there are many simple, yet effective, charms (such as a rope of garlic, a sun-catcher, or pentagram symbols) that can be placed in the kitchen for protection.
A sunny kitchen windowsill filled with pots of magical plants not only looks good, but releases magical energies into the room. Even common culinary herbs that are found in the cabinets or nearly every kitchen possess strong magical properties. For instance, basil is traditionally used for exorcism, love, protection, and purification. Parsley is used for fertility, passion, and protection. Sage is used for healing, protection, and prosperity; and thyme is used for clairvoyance, courage, and love.
Hang a "kitchen Witch" doll for good luck, and addmagic to your cooking by drawing an invisible pentagram inside your pots and pans with a wand or athame. (A wooden spoon, fork, or knife can also be used.)
A well-stocked Witch's kitchen should contain herbs, essential oils, a mortar and pestle (for grinding dried herbs and other magical things), candles, incense, an up-to-date lunar calendar, and cauldron for brewing potions.
Smudge your kitchen with a sage bundle if you sense negativity. Anoint utensils and appliances with essential oils to bless and charge them with powerful vibrations. Editor's Note: never ingest essential oils. If you choose to anoint kitchen tools, either anoint the parts of the tool that do not come into direct contact with food, or make sure that there is no way that the oil will transfer from the tool to your food. Always stir food in a clockwise direction, and be sure to invite the Goddess and God into your new magical workplace.
MORE BEWITCHIN' KITCHEN TIPS
1. As a beginning ritual, light a candle or sprinkle some fresh water around the kitchen. Cleaning your workspace, both physically and spiritually, is a good habit. Say a small prayer.
2. A quartz crystal placed on or near the stove when cooking makes food taste better.
3. A pot of basil herb grown in your kitchen keeps the area safe from negative spirits.
4. Always try to grow your herbs yourself and concentrate on their magickal purpose while tending to them. This will increase their energy - and add a lovely smell to your kitchen!
5. Always use fresh ingredients. Even if you live in an urban area, try to buy food which is in season and from your country. Goods that are out of seasons are grown in greenhouses or shipped long distances and have lost much of their magickal qualities (and taste).
6. A witch's kitchen should never be without a lunar calendar or chart showing the phases of the moon and its movement through the zodiac.
7. Love potions and aphrodisiaxs should always be prepared when the moon is waxing.
8. The best time to plant a herb is when the moon is in Cancer, Scorpio, Libra or Pisces.
9. Unlucky influence should be kept away from the kitchen when cooking or preparing magickal recipes, which is accomplished by stirring deosil (in a clockwise direction).
10. Herbal preparations should never be boiled in aluminium vessels, but in only copper, eartheware or pyrex to avoid contaminations of the medicines
