Kitchen Witchery: Infusing Magick into Cooking
Kitchen Witching is simply a form of witchcraft that revolves around the heart of your home – the kitchen! While Kitchen Witchery takes on a path all of its own, some of its methods can be incorporated by any witch. Let’s break down some of the foundations in Kitchen Witchcraft.
At the heart of Kitchen Witchery is the idea that cooking itself is a sacred act. As a Kitchen Witch, you approach meal preparation with mindfulness and intention. Each step of the cooking process becomes an opportunity to infuse your dishes with positive energy, love, and blessings. You might create rituals before, during, or after cooking to enhance the magickal aspect of the food.
Kitchen Witches also have a deep understanding of herbs and their magical properties. They use herbs not only for flavour but also for their healing and transformative qualities. By incorporating specific herbs into dishes or brewing herbal teas, Kitchen Witches harness the power of nature to enhance well-being and promote intention-based outcomes.
The key element of Kitchen Witchery is setting clear intentions for the meals being prepared. Before you start cooking, take a moment to focus your mind and visualize the desired outcome of the dish. For example, if you are preparing a meal for healing, you might visualize the food filling the recipients with vitality and well-being.
Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to Kitchen Witchery. It’s a personal and evolving practice, and you can adapt it to fit your own spiritual beliefs and cooking style. The most important aspect is infusing your culinary creations with intention and magick, making each meal a sacred and meaningful experience.
So here are just a few tips on how to use intention in the kitchen and infuse a little magic into your dishes.
1. Choose ingredients based on the magical properties – you could simply chuck a list on your fridge to save time!
2. Stir with purpose – in the Southern Hemisphere our energy flows anti-clockwise, so to attract energies stir this way! If you’re making a dish and you’d like to infuse it with protection, stir clockwise with intention to ward the bad energies away.
3. Talk to your food – you heard me! Whisper your intentions to your ingredients before adding them to the mix.
4. Practice mindfulness – be present when you’re cooking. This fuels the magic you’re working with and it’s great for your mental health.
Kitchen Witchery is all about embracing your intuition and creativity in the kitchen. Let the simple act of cooking become a gateway to profound magick and a celebration of the sacred in the everyday.
