50 KITCHEN WITCH TIPS TO MAKE YOU FEEL MORE WITCHY

(And other useful things I've learned over the years)

Hi! This is a list of dos, don'ts, tips, tricks, and other fun things that I've learned over the years. I always love finding more effective and efficient ways of doing things so if you have any cool things you'd like to add, leave them in the comments or reblog. I'd love to read it.

Anyways... On with the list ^_^

Light candles around your kitchen space (just make sure nothing flammable is near you)

Annotate your cookbooks with the correspondence of the ingredients.

Mediating is really good to calm the mind before cooking.

Cut oranges and lemons thinly, dry them, and hang them with twine around your kitchen

Need a cleansing tip? Open all your windows near your kitchen. Let some fresh air in.

Cutting sigils into apples, pie crusts, and carved potatoes.

Save lemon and orange rinds, freeze them, and then use them to clean the garbage disposal.

Make infused oils and honey: Things like garlic honey, lavender honey, herb oil, sun oil, moon oil, dandelion oil, and other different edible oils are very fun and useful to make.

Hid sigils in pages of your cookbooks and kitchen witch journals.

Add some plants! Snake plants and spider plants don't need too much light, and growing your own herbs in your kitchen is awesome too. Basil, lavender, thyme, aloe vera, rosemary, etc. are good fits. You could also add some plants that require more sunlight on the kitchen window sill. Like cacti and succulents.

Bring crystals into your kitchen space such as rose quartz, clear quartz, amethyst, or whatever you want the space's intentions to be.

I keep a small money tree on the sill, along with cacti for luck and protection.

Make a simmer Pot! Mostly because it makes the whole house smell good, easy, and fun.

Stir clockwise for best results!

Learning how to pickle things is actually pretty witchy. Plus, anyone could do it as it requires absolutely no kitchen experience. You could pickle any vegetable, even if you don't like pickles. I originally learned this after having to take shelter from a natural disaster. A person brought a bunch of stuff and taught us how to pickle things with different spices and herbs. Very fun!

Decorate your kitchen with your favorite stuff. Crystals, decor, heat mits, that cool mushroom cake stand you've been eyeing at the World Market for the past 2 weeks, cool looking curtains, sun catchers. Why stop there? Paint the walls, hang shelves full of marked-up cookbooks that are a little too well-loved and thumbed through.

Wanna be the person that has the amazing-smelling house every time people come over? Syrups take some time to simmer down, it's actually a pretty good time to leave it on the stove to simmer. Since syrups have a lot of aromatic ingredients, it acts as a really good-smelling simmer pot.

Hang up herbs to dry with twine from cabinets that are rarely used.

Invest in that new set of plates and cups.

Homemade jams, butter, sauces, and syrups are your best friend.

Crochet or knit your own dish rags, pot holders, etc.

Don't pour extremely hot things into a glass that's not Pyrex, it will break, and you will be very sad about it.

Don't cook anything while extremely upset or emotional (For safety reasons)

Make recipes you want to make, not just because you'll like the effect. Make it because you think it's tasty.

Chinese Five Spice works in place of herbs for protection and luck spells a lot of the time! It's cheaper to buy 1 spice than 4 different spices that total up to 15 dollars when you could just spend 3-4 dollars.

Take a shower before cooking (I don't know how to explain this one other than it makes you feel better)

Don't use microfiber/plastic material clothes on hot burners, it will fuse to the burner and melt. It is VERY hard to get off.

I don't know if I need to put this one but I did see someone do it so nonstick pan = wooden utensils and plastic utensils, metal pan = metal utensils. Do not use a metal spoon in a nonstick pan, please. It can make you very sick.

Keep your pets away from hot oil, open ovens, and hot pans.

You can proof bread dough in the fridge overnight if you don't have the time to bake, or want to eat fresh bread right in the morning.

Need a quick witchy meal for dinner in 12 minutes? Use premade tomato pasta sauce and doctor it up with thyme, rosemary, and garlic, for protection and distilling stagnant energies. Serve with pasta of your liking.

You can substitute Butter for Crisco/shortening, buttermilk for 1 cup of milk + 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, and heavy cream for 1 cup of half and half plus 2 tbsp of butter.

Use leftover animal bones to make bone broth

Teach yourself the art of bread scoring (It's fun, and you can show it off to your loved ones!)

Collect and hoard your own and others' family recipes.

Sometimes the food doesn't have to be a spell, sometimes it just makes you feel good and you don't know why.

Listen to your favorite music in the kitchen, it makes the monotonous things like chopping veggies move faster.

Invest in a vegetable chopper if you don't like chopping vegetables.

Find a really good hot cocoa recipe and make it once a week. Master it. Just for your own happiness because hot cocoa is really good. You could also be the friend/family member that makes the best hot cocoa ever.

Focaccia Bread Lasts a very long time, and it's very easy to make!

Keep a first aid kit near where the oven is, in case of burns, cuts, or serious injuries where time is everything.

Quick Bread and no-rise loaves are simple for beginners, tasty, and take little time. They also feel very witchy to make.

Study a bit of Herbalism! It's fun and really helps better understand the herbs you're putting into your food.

While something is boiling, put your wooden spoon over the pot to minimize the chance of something boiling over.

Try a bit of coffee magick, it's simple to get into, and gives you a boost of energy to take on the day!

If you're over 21, wine-making is a very interesting way to celebrate the sabbats. Just with that, make sure you KNOW what you're doing. With anything fermented, there's always a risk if you don't store things correctly. Apple wines, strawberry wines, dandelion wines, etc. all very cool to experiment with. If you're not over 21, vinegar is a similar way to experiment.

Hang up some witchy things, sigils, photos, cool magnets, and other things that give you joy on your fridge. (Sometimes if you are lucky they have some fun magnets at five below)

If you live in the US, for some reason, there are a lot of books in the book section dedicated to witchcraft and spirituality. At least where I live. And they are all under 5 dollars!

Teas are the cheapest and easiest things you can practice being a kitchen witch.

Solid Perfumes and Balms Recipe

One of my favourite spell forms is something I can physically wear like a perfume, balm or body butter. Whilst this is not a recipe I favour (I prefer spray on perfumes and liquid oils), its one that has served me well in the past for glamours, anti-anxiety, and a little luck before job interviews.

Apply to your wrists and neck for a perfume, or use to create a creme makeup product such as a blush or bronzer.

Generic Recipe Base:

Always be mindful of irritants like cinnamon when creating balms!

1 tablespoon of oil (jojoaba or any other neutral oil)

1 tablespoon beeswax or emulsifier wax

OR 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or shea butter and 1/2 tablespoon of wax

10-20 drops of essential oils for a perfume (or add until desired scent is achieved), for more subtle scents 3-5 drops

1/2 -1 tablespoon of mica powder or mineral powder to colour

Melt together the wax and oil or simply melt down a dense, solid oil or fat like coconut oil, adding in vitamin E oil and mix well

Stir in essential oil (or oil you have infused with your herbs), add in your mica powder if you wish to colour it

Allow to cool slightly and pour into a slightly heated, wide rimed jar and let sit to solidify completely before sealing it - old lip balm tins, tiny jam jars and balm jars work well to store this

_________

Prosperity and Luck for Job Interviews:

Melt down your liquid oil and wax, and mix well

Stir in 9 drops of prosperity oil (ylang-ylang, lemon, basil and mint) - I like to add things in threes, so three lots of three

Allow to cool and add to a small tin or jar and allow to cool at air temperature

_________

Glamour Creme/Cream Blush

Met together shea butter and wax - more wax will make a thicker, longer lasting blush whilst more aloe will make a smoother, more subtle one

Add in aloe vera and a glamour or love/attraction oil (rose, apple blossom, lavender and jasmine - as this is blush only add 3 drops!) and whisk until smooth, taking it off the heat

Slowly add in mica powders and cocoa powder a tiny pinch at a time until the desired colour is reached

add to a tine or jar and let cool at air temperature

Adapt the recipes as needed for what you have and to your own practice <3

(I will be sharing some of my generic grimoire recipes each Wednesday (hopefully) with the intent on letting people adapt the recipes to suit their needs ... )

Soul Cakes

Personally I make these for Samhain/ Winternights/Alfarblot/Disablot as a sacrifice to my deities, spirits, and ancestors. They are much like a lightly spiced shortbread and are easy to make and hard to screw up in my experience!

1 Cup butter

3 3/4 Cup Sifted Flour

1 Cup Fine Sugar

1/4 tsp Nutmeg

1 tsp Cinnamon

1 tsp Ginger

1 tsp Allspice

2 Eggs

2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar

4-6 tsp Milk

Powdered Sugar to top

Preheat oven to 350 F

Cut butter into your flour with your finger tips. (Work quickly so the butter doesn't melt too much!)

Blend in your sugar and spices

beat eggs, vinegar, and milk together

Mix dry and wet ingredients and kneed until it forms a stiff dough

Turn out on to a flat surface and roll out to about 1/4th of an inch

Cut into 3 inch rounds, prick with a fork and bake for 20-25 minutes (keep any leftover dough in the fridge until you can roll it out again)

Sprinkle with powdered sugar

Mental Clarity Brew

Ingredients:

1 cup of water

1 teaspoon of dried rosemary or chamomile

1 teaspoon of dried peppermint

Honey or sweetener (optional, for taste)

Instructions:

Boil the water in a small saucepan or kettle.

As the water heats, focus on your intention for mental clarity and sharpness of mind.

Once the water reaches a boil, add the dried rosemary and peppermint to the pot.

Stir the mixture clockwise three times, infusing it with your intention for clarity.

Let the herbs steep in the water for 5-10 minutes, allowing their energies to infuse.

After steeping, strain the herbs from the water and pour the infused liquid into a cup.

If desired, sweeten the brew with honey or another sweetener to taste.

Hold the cup in your hands and visualize the steam rising from the brew carrying away any mental fog or confusion.

As you drink the brew, focus on each sip bringing clarity and sharpness to your mind.

After finishing the brew, sit quietly for a moment, feeling the energy of mental clarity permeating your being.

Express gratitude to the herbs and elements for their assistance.

Repeat this brew spell as needed to maintain mental clarity and focus.

I love to use chamomile and peppermint with a tiny bit of honey as a tea before work to help wake me up in the morning mentally since I work with patients all day. I love natural/pure honey over sugars or artificial sweeteners since the taste is so much more earthy and natural. Feel free to tweak the recipe however you need to for your personal activities.

Hot take? Maybe yes. Maybe not.

YOU DON'T NEED EXPENSIVE TOOLS, HERBS, ETC FOR WITCHCRAFT!!!!!

in my personal opinion witchcraft doesn't have to be fancy! It can even just be you hoping and manifesting for a good day, for money, for better health, etc! Of course you can make it fancy if you you need to! I've seen some people use fancy materials when working with deitys because they feel it's more respectful and I RESPECT YOU FOR THAT!!

Witchcraft is about you and how you experience it, work with it, etc. It's YOUR craft! Don't let others fancy dancy stuff make you wish you had better. You are good and your tools and materials are good enough!

Much love :D ❤❤

When allergies start to hit, like today, I usually add a pinch of cayenne pepper to my food as a nasal decongestant, and use my garlic infused honey to soothe my sore throat caused by post nasal drip.

The honey can be taken alone or mixed into an herbal tea. (It's recommended that you eat the garlic cloves, particularly when you have a cold, but it's not 100% necessary if you don't want to.)

Garlic Infused Honey Recipe

1 clean and dry jar with lid

1 head of garlic, peeled and crushed or minced

Honey

I hate mincing garlic, so I usually just crush it with the flat side of my knife and add it to the jar. A garlic press can also be used.

Add enough honey to cover the garlic.

Screw the lid on tight and store it in a dark, cool place. Mix the honey once a day (I usually just turn the jar upside down).

Should be ready to use in a few days. Honey will be thin and amber in color.

Use to soothe sore throat caused by cough, illness, or allergies.

Herbalism 101: Basil

EP. 6

Fun fact

The word Basil comes from the Greek word “basileus” which means king. Because of this, many believe it led to the creation of the word “basilisk” due to the creature's strength.

Properties : Love, money

Uses in the kitchen

Basil is a pretty common kitchen ingredient and can be delicious in many different cuisines. It can be found cuisines anywhere from Italian to South Asian. It is often used in sauces and broths, but also makes a good garnish.

Uses in healing

Basil is amazing for stomach issues and can also be used as a mood booster. Basil has been used for digestive issues for centuries, including as a way to help stomach cramps in Chinese medicine. It is also said to help improve one's mood.

Uses in witchcraft

I often have fresh Basil on my windowsill because of how versatile it is. My favorite use, however, is to use Basil essential oil in cleaning in order to set intentions of love and money in my home or to banish bad energy. I will often put the essential oil into a spray bottle with some water and other oils, then I spray a small amount on what I am cleaning and wipe it in the direction correlating to my desire. (Towards me to attract, away from me to dispel)

Tips for growing at home

Basil is not too tricky to grow, but it can be sensitive to temperature. It's best to keep the plant somewhere on the warmer side, with plenty of sunlight and moist soil. The other big tip is to prune/trim the flowering parts or dead leaves often.

Recipe

Pesto for love and joy

1 cup fresh basil leaves

2 cups Parmesan cheese

1-2 tablespoons of pine nuts

3 cloves of garlic

Around 1/2 cup of olive oil

Salt to taste

Combine ingredients in a mixer while slowly adding in olive oil until you get a consistency you enjoy. The basil is good for love, garlic can amplify intentions, and pine nuts can represent comfort and sometimes fertility.
