Kitchen Witch" is a term used for witchy folx whose spiritual practice is rooted within food, mealtimes, and the home. Kitchen Witches craft rituals, spells and/or potions utilizing edible items, found objects, and common household items. The kitchen is their altar; their home is their sacred space.
In 2014, we created our
Ritual Kits, Candles and Apothecary with the idea of mixing and matching common ingredients like lavender, rose, or patchouli etc., that would create a perfect combination for a unique spell or intention- setting ritual.
Choose your combination of handcrafted ritual candles, mists, and kits with our offerings of crystals, herbs, incense, and more to perfectly set your intentions for focus and awareness of your magic.
How to make it work:
Consider your intention or goals. What are you looking to accomplish? Be sure no shadow work is needed first, as inner conflicts can hinder surface- level intentions like love, clarity, energy, fortune, etc.
Find the ingredients that serve this purpose. For example, if you are looking for Abundance + Prosperity, try ingredients with earth- based ingredients and earthy fragrances like grass, wood, leaves ,etc. Crystals with colors that match the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras will likely align with abundance and prosperity. Citrine, pyrite, smoky quartz, jaspers, and many agates will do the trick. (Pro tip: Crystal healing theory is loosely based off chakra theory, which is tied to color theory).
After you discover what ingredients to use, find a Ritual Candle or Ritual Mist or Oil that serve these purposes. As usual, the more you put into this ritual, the more you get out of it. Try combing a Mist and a Candle, or an Oil and a Mist to heighten the effects of your rituals or spell. Shop Candles and Apothecary here.
Top things off with extra ingredients like Loose Herbs, Herbal Wands, or Incense.

When ready, the following mantra for abundance and prosperity, the Lakshmi Gayatri Mantra, for Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity, can be repeated if desired:
"Om Shree Mahalakshmyai Cha Vidmahe Vishnu Patnayai Cha Dheemahi Tanno Lakshmi Prachodayat"
This mantra can be translated as:

Chanting this mantra with devotion and focus can create the positive energy needed to attract abundance and prosperity. Try repeating this mantra daily, preferably in the morning or evening, and ideally with some ingredients above for best results.

Beltane, aka May Day, the ancient Gaelic festival of spring which has been celebrated for thousands of years in Ireland, Scotland, and other parts of Europe, marks the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. The name "Beltane" comes from the Celtic word "bel," meaning bright, and "tene," meaning fire. On this holiday we celebrate the return of the sun and the coming of summer..
