Cooking with Magick

Kitchen witchcraft is such a satisfying practice and not just because you get to eat afterward.
It gives you the chance to merge your practice with your daily life, allowing you to add energies into your cooking to help you and your loved ones.

This is going to be a quick list of kitchen witchcraft ideas to help anyone who is interested in adding some magick to their cooking:

• If you use sigils, runes or symbols carve, draw or burn frequently used symbols onto the handles of wooden spoons to help you quickly infuse your food with their energies.
• Make your wooden spoon your version of a wand if you like.

• Along the symbol path, if you add honey to tea, draw symbols on the bottom of the mug with the honey before you add in the tea for extra symbol energy.

• Look up and utilize the magickal properties of day-to-day herbs and vegetables, you can then play with soups mixing corresponding vegetables and herbs to help your goal.

• The same applies to fruit, mix smoothies utilizing the magickal properties of the fruit.

• If you particularly like kitchen witchcraft, a kitchen altar can add some extra energy into the room and can help you turn the kitchen into your sacred space.

• Charge salt and pepper in moonlight to bring lunar energies into your practice.

• If you like divination using tea leaves can help you incorporate it into your daily life effortlessly.

• Infuse cooking oils with edible herbs and spices to subtly add their properties into the food without being overbearing.
• Candle and colour correspondence can be very useful in kitchen witchcraft, especially if you are working in a home without others knowing, changing napkin, table cloth and candle colours is a subtle way to work secretly.
• Bring the garden to you by adding herbs to your kitchen, growing your cooking herbs yourself gives you a deeper connection to what you are eating and the magickal benefits you may gain from them. This can also help you give back to the earth.

*Disclaimer - Do not use toxic or poisonous herbs in food or drink, don't spike anyone's food or drink with anything they are not aware of or something potentially dangerous and please ensure you get your herbs either fresh from a safe location (free of toxicities and dangerous chemicals) and dried from an edible herb supplier, not a magickal herb supplier who may stock toxic herbs*

There are so many different methods to add some kitchen witchcraft into your daily life. I'm curious what others do to create magickal results in their kitchens so please feel free to add to this list.

I like potatoes for grounding and giving me a sense of stability when I feel emotionally vunerable. Rosemary, lavender, and chamomile are good edible herbs for dreamwork that I enjoy. Basil is one I like to use for money which I prefer feeding to my husband since he is the one I send out hunting for that green paper lol. I know straberries are good for love but I am the only one who can eat them so that is not one I have really found any use for aside for offering to Aphrodite.

I like the idea of mindfully stirring as well. Much like how you anoint a candle traditionally speaking. Think of how for candles the direction you move when anointing them is for different purposes. So likewise, whether you stir clockwise or counter clockwise would too have different purposes. I think I would use stirring left to banish, break, and send away things. Where as right I think I would use to attract things to me and bring them closer. I'm right handed so this makes sense to me anyways.

The number of times stirred can also play into good symbolism which can use numerology or the third planet or fifth day of the week, etc. Might be good to do for a particular date or time too! Why not? Also, the use of spices sprinkled into a dish in the shape of a sigil or symbol of sorts. Could be a basic justice symbol, a pentagram, a cross, maybe someones initials. Heck, could be as simple as a smiley face, heart, of frowny face.

Maybe you want to send frowny face cupcakes filled with red peppers and frowny face icing to your enemies? Lol, I'd do it! If you want to be subtle you can always carve or frost it into an inner layer and put a very small amount of cheyanne or something else of course so it's not terribly noticable.

Another cool thing I think is helpful to take into acount are other sympathetic magick princaples such as the use of colors. Like with baking the color you use not just for the frosting but also the icing, sprinkles, etc. Even for a lot of regular cooking a lot of things you can use food coloring on. I've seen a lot of creepy tasty nommies made for Halloween as examples. I think one of them was intestine gummy worms which were super cool!

This is an excellent that I love using. Fusing magick with such simple and normal things such has eating is fantastic.

I bake a lot, since that was the course I was taking before paramedic ( I know big change uh? ), so I love this.

My main materials that include:

• A whisk
• Cake pans
• Bowls
• Spoons
• Knives
• etc.

Either have symbols or runes infused in to them. Either by burning or simple paint in the handle or sides.I also recite a simple chant whenever I am baking/cooking, always depending on my goal. It makes things much more magical. I also - from what people tell me - have found that my cakes taste better or make people feel better when I use the witchy utensils.

My idea would be to surround my work area with all these witchy things. Symbols, oils ( digestible ) and candles! It would give this peaceful and witchy vibe! That's my goal.

When I live alone I will have my house decorated, I'll paint symbols all over my home and of course hide them so it looks like a normal home, yet all witchy down low!
