This quick guide will help you get started with kitchen witchery to help bring a little more magic to your every day.
What is a kitchen witch?
A kitchen witch is a type of witch who practices magic primarily in the kitchen, using food and cooking utensils as tools in their spells and rituals. Kitchen witches often focus on creating nourishing meals and using herbs and other natural ingredients to promote health and well-being.
They may also incorporate elements of traditional folk magic and superstitions into their practices, such as using garlic to ward off negative energy or placing a broom by the door to sweep away negative influences.
The term “kitchen witch” can also be used more broadly to refer to anyone who enjoys cooking and sees it as a form of magic or spiritual practice, even if they don’t identify as a witch.
