Magic Forums

To the kitchen witch, the hearth is their altar. Their pots are their cauldrons and their cooking utensils are their tools.

Cleanse and purify all items and ingredients to be used in your recipe. Charge your ingredients with the desired energy or invoke their meaning as you add them in. I like to say "this sugar is for love" etc.

This is from my grimoire. I've collected these meanings through a variety of sources throughout the years. The herbs you use are important to. Herbs and their magickal properties should also be considered. Its best to grind these together with a mortar and pestle as you put your energy into them and invoke the meaning

My spaghetti is always made as a protection meal for my family. Many family recipes can be reviewed and their magickal meaning can be discovered by using this list as reference. A meal will only hold this magick if you intend for it to.

When you stir, be sure to stir in energy, using the spoon as a wand. Counterclockwise for lunar energy, and clockwise for solar energy.

Cleanse your cutting boards, pots, pans, stove, utensils, EVERYTHING you use for kitchen magick. Obviously adding water to your meal will add in the properties of water you wish to use.

Good luck! And have fun.
