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.
11. Before casting spells or preparing
potions, always keep in mind the Wiccan Rede!
