The Origin of the Kitchen Witch
A kitchen witch, sometimes called a cottage witch or a
"Scandinavian" kitchen witch doll, is a poppet or homemade
doll resembling a stereotypical witch or crone displayed
in residential kitchens as a means to provide
good luck and ward off bad spirits.
History
There is some debate over the exact country in which
the kitchen witch originated, some claiming Norway
and others Germany, but consensus points
to it stemming from older European customs.
The poppet is supposed to depict a "good" witch
who inspires productivity and safety in a kitchen,
but also counteracts any ill-will directed to the home.
It is considered good luck to give a kitchen witch
to a friend or family member. So that those unfamiliar
with the kitchen witch can understand its meaning,
sometimes a note will be hung around the
witch's neck stating something similar to:
"The Legendary Secret of Goof-Proof Cooking:
The Famous Kitchen Witch
For centuries, Norwegians have hung this good
witch in their kitchen. They believe she has the
power to keep roasts from burning, pots
from boiling over, and sauces from spilling."
In England-
Although largely unknown in modern England,
the Kitchen Witch may have been known in England
in Tudor times. The will of a John Crudgington,
of Newton, Worfield, Shropshire, dated 1599,
includes amongst his household possessions
"one witche in the kytchyn".

Go to TopClassroom Main ListMain List IndexRandom Madness HomeKitchen Witch Altars
Creating a kitchen altar honors the goddess
and provides a focal point for magic,
cooking and sacred living in kitchen witchery.
Kitchen witches spend much of their time in
the kitchen, combining magic and cooking
to create sacred food, spells and herbal
remedies. The kitchen is therefore an ideal
place to set up an altar, both for kitchen
magic and honoring the goddess of hearth and home.
Depending on the size of the kitchen,
an altar can be anything from the corner of a shelf,
to a dedicated table. The ideal spot for a
focal point also needs to be practical and safe.
A witch does not want an altar where spillages
or accidents can occur, but at the same time
needs it to be within easy reach and view.
Most kitchen witches will work with several
goddesses, but also have a dedicated goddess of
hearth and home. The kitchen altar should recognize
the chosen goddess, perhaps with a figurine
or picture, or with a selection of items that
represent them, such as symbolic charms,
certain foods, or candles and
ribbons in associated colors.
There are many sources offering statues
and artwork to buy, but crafty witches
might like to make their own
representation of the goddess,
by sculpting her from salt dough
or polymer clay. Once baked,
the clay statue can be painted
and embellished accordingly.
Other ideas include making corn dolls
or wheat sheaves and wreaths,
to represent the goddesses of grain and harvest.
Magical Items for the Kitchen Altar
Special utensils and tools, such as bowls and spoons
(try carving or painting symbols onto wooden spoons
for extra magical utensils)
A miniature cauldron Representations of
the witch's personality
Candles
Crystals and shells. Stones that are particularly
useful in the kitchen include clusters of clear
or smoky quartz to combat radiation
given off by electrical appliances,
citrine in the eating area to aid digestion,
and rose quartz or amethyst to promote harmony.
Rose quartz also brings blessings to food
preparation and inspires extra creativity when cooking
Figurines or other representations of other
harvest and hearth goddesses, the ancestors,
house faeries and the spirits of place
Family photos or mementos to promote the kitchen
as the centre of the family home
Bottles, either decorative or filled with magical ingredients
Offerings for the Kitchen Altar
In addition to the above, the altar should
also house items in the form of offerings,
which change according to the days, seasons,
festivals and magical intents.
Perishable items will need to be changed
regularly to avoid going stale.
Ideas include:
Food offerings, such as grain, rice and herbs
Bundles of dried herbs
Incense
Natural items such as feathers,
acorns and stones from the garden or outings
Salt
Fruit and vegetables harvested from the garden
Milk, honey or mead for the house faeries
Creating Seasonal Altars
As the seasons change, so too does the focus
of the kitchen witch's altar. The items upon
the altar should reflect the changing
wheel of the year accordingly.
Use seasonal food for offerings,
such as winter root vegetables or summer fruits
At harvest time, make corn dolls
or use wheat and grain as decoration
Decorative items can be seasonal too“
such as beach shells in summer, snowflake
shapes in winter, leaves in autumn or blossom sprigs in spring
Use appropriate offerings to celebrate
the festivals of the year, such as pieces of Lammas bread
The kitchen witch's altar provides a focus for intent.
It gives thanks to the goddess in the form of offerings,
serves as a sacred workspace for working ritual magic,
and offers a place of quiet contemplation
in the kitchen witch's sacred haven.
The kitchen is an important place for every
witch it is the heart of every home. Not only that a
good witch will often spend much of his
or her free time experimenting
with food and potions.
A witch's kitchen will never make
the cover of home and gardens but that being
said a witch's kitchen is a friendly
space somewhere something is always going on.
You will often find herbs hanging,
home baked bread or biscuits
and a kettle that is always on the boil.
But in this modern age with modern kitchens
and fast-pasted life kitchen witchery is a
dieing art to some extent. People don't have
the time to experiment most recipes come
from books; most potions have been handed down.
Now it not a bad idea to use other people
recipes whether that is for a meal, potion,
spells or medicine when you start out but if
you rely on others information you'll
never gain any new knowledge.
The fun part about kitchen witchery is the
experimentationœthe science behind the witchcraftâ€
why does this work this way and not that?
Throughout the history of man it is our
experimentation that has cause us to develop and advance.
As witches we are metaphysical scientists
we work with elements and energies some of witch
science can explain other it just learning
about and some that science will never truly
understand. If we want to advance in our
magickal skills we must learn to experiment
rather that repeat those experiments that
have already proved to work.
Like scientist the kitchen witch will
have some knowledge's of their ingredince they know
that if you X to Y the you get A as a
witch you should look new ideas and develop your own.
A kitchen witch will take a basic recipe
add a twist of this and a dash of that and create
something new out of this experimentation
something will develop for example a witch takes a
basic biscuit mix and adds some extra fibre
and fennel seeds and makes a nice biscuit and give
some to a friend whose a little blotted
and they work wonders and the friend ask for recipe
a cure for friends blotted belly comes
from adding that personal touch.
I know it a very basic example but kitchen
witchery does not have to be complicated and it
level of experimentation will depend on your
confidence in trying new things. Of course a
witch can get it wrong but you can learn just
enough from getting it wrong.
For a witch the kitchen is not only a place
when magick is preformed but also a meeting
place for social chitchat a place for pets
to sleep or eat a place filled with machinery
and electromagnetic fields so where ideally
magick should not be preformed. So why does or
at least do you treat a kitchen as a magickal
place? For myself I see the kitchen more as a
temple a constant place of the gods. The kitchen
and related area has so many gods and goddess
you can dedicate your kitchen. Here is a list.

working area that will allow free flowing magick and inspiration as well as a
healing area where you can replenish your energies in divine work.

Many people use planetary influences in their spellwork
and Kitchen Witches need be no different.
Simply choose your ingredients according to
their influential planets.
You may also want to choose the timing for
your magical meal based on planetary days and hours.

Pluto and Uranus are problematic.
They do not have many associations

of basil and tie them together to form a small "wand."
Facing east, hold the basil in your
power hand and gently shake it as you move clockwise
around your kitchen. As you do so..
Say:
Bless the pantry and every pot.
Bless the oven which cooks my food and keeps it hot.
Bless each appliance, cupboard, and drawer.
Bless this kitchen, forever more!
Hang the basil to dry, and use it as needed
in recipes to bless your food also.

Go to TopClassroom Main ListMain List IndexRandom Madness HomePestsAnts ~ Use cinnamon oil,
not the powdered spice, to paint a thin line around
all possible ant entrances. Your kitchen will
smell wonderful and ants will not cross the line.
Mice ~ To keep mice out of
your home, plant Marigolds all the way around your
property. Mice detest the smell.
Flies and Moths ~ If you need
moth repellents for your linens and woolens,
avoid toxic commercial mothballs made of
naphthalene. Natural essential oils such as lavender,
lemongrass, Canadian red cedar, or rosemary
can just as effectively repel moths and
other insects. You can make a sachet by
placing several drops of essential oil on a cotton ball.
Wrap and tie this in a small handkerchief
or square of cotton. Hang this cloth in storage areas
or add it to your chest of linens. Refresh
as often as necessary. You can put this sachet
in your bureau drawers to keep your clothes
freshly scented. Lavender and rose are classic
scents. For children's sleepwear, Roman chamomile
is especially fragrant and relaxing.
Flies and moths dislike Lavender oil.
Sprinkle it on the outside of your window frames.
Gnats and Mosquitos ~
Plant mints around doorways and windows: ie;
catnip, basil, pineapple mint and so on any mint
will do, peppermint, spearmint, etc.
Citronella is used to dispel mosquitoes
and other picnic pests. Drop a few drops of
Citronella oil on the melted
wax of a candle or place
a few drops on the Bar-B-Q hot coals.
Go to TopClassroom Main ListMain List IndexRandom Madness HomeLaundry and Clothes
Instead of using toxic and irritating
softening sheets in your dryer, place a washcloth
dampened with 10 drops of lavender, lemon,
melaleuca, bergamot, or another essential oils.
While the oils will not reduce static cling,
they will impart a distinctive fragrance to your
clothes.
Laundry ~ A pot of basil herb
grown in your kitchen keeps the area
safe from evil forces and negative spirits.
Candles keep their shape better and longer
when chilled thoroughly in the refrigerator.
Essential oils may be used to enhance the
cleanliness and fragrance of your laundry.
As unpleasant as it seems, dust mites live
in your bedding, feeding from the dead skin
cells you constantly shed. Recent research
has shown that eucalyptus oil kills dust mites.
To achieve effective dust mite control,
add 25 drops of eucalyptus to each washing machine
load, or approximately 1/2 oz
to a bottle of liquid detergent.
You may also add several drops of essential oils
to the rinse cycle, such as fir,
spruce, juniper, lavender, cedarwood,
wintergreen/birch, or rosewood.
Because clothing, like everything else,
has a frequency, consider moving toward natural
fabrics instead of synthetics. Cotton,
linen, silk, and wool possess energy frequencies
harmonious to the human body. Always,
spray your fabrics with the powerful scent of
therapeutic-grade essential oils.
You want to breathe in nature, not synthetics -
and not synthetic oils either!
Go to TopClassroom Main ListMain List IndexRandom Madness HomeKitchen Witch Superstions by IntentAlertness ~ The fragrance of Caraway is refreshing
to the conscious mind. Sniff to enhance alertness and
to strengthen the memory. To smooth an ongoing
relationship, smell and visualize the two of you
working out your problems and communicating.
Alertness and Memory ~ Rosemary promotes alertness
and stimulates memory. Inhale occasionally during
long car trips and while reading or studying.
Baby Teething Pain ~ Use 1 drop of Chamomile
oil on a washcloth wrapped ice cube to relieve
teething pain in children.
Banishing ~ Osha Root can be used in charms
and spells to protect against negative and/or
evil spirits. This plant was revered by all
Native American healers for it's powerful
healing abilities. Used to treat respiratory
and rheumatic complaints. Incredible butterscotch
and celery scent permeates the room with magick.
Smudge your kitchen with a sage bundle if you
sense negativity. Salt water left out in the
center of a room all night will absorb negativity.
Wash it away with flowing water the next morning.
If you are on a septic tank, either pour the water
into the woods or into a body of running water.
Braids of garlic, onions, or peppers make a lovely
decoration for your kitchen and also ward off negativity.
To keep away ghosts, negativity, unwanted guests
and the evil eye - plant Lilies in your garden.
To ward off evil spirits; on Halloween, hollow
out Turnips and place candles inside. Put the lit
turnips in windows or carry as you trick or treat!
Mix Flax seeds with red pepper, put the mixture in
a box and place it somewhere in your house.
Bread ~ It is considered unlucky in certain
countries to wash a bread-knife on a Sunday,
cut both ends of a loaf of bread, leave a knife
stuck in the loaf, or take the last slice of bread.
Accidentally dropping a slice of bread with the
buttered side down is also said to be a bad omen;
however, it is a good sign if the dropped bread
lands with the buttered side up. If you and another
person reach for the same slice of bread at the same
time, an unexpected visitor will soon appear.
Business Success ~ Burn Benzoin with
cinnamon for business success.
Cooling Bath ~ 6-8 drops of Eucalyptus oil in the
bath cools the body in summer and protects in winter.
Copper Polish ~ 1 drop of Lemon essential oil on
a soft cloth will polish copper with a gentle buffing.
Courage ~ Inhale Ginger before magickal rituals
of any kind while you visualize the scent stimulating
your physical body, to excite muscular contraction
which will produce bioelectrical energy. Inhale Ginger
and visualize to promote courage, confidence,
aggression (needed for self-survival),
purification and success on all levels. Because
of its vibrant scent - it is best not to inhale
before you go to bed, that is unless you plan on
being up most of the night. Rub your hands on
Columbine or carry it with you to induce courage and daring.
Cuts ~ Apply true Lavender oil and Tea Tree
oil directly to cuts, scrapes or scratches.
1 or 2 drops will promote healing.
Damaged Hair ~ Mash a ripe banana with a few drops
of almond oil and massage into hair. Leave it for
about 15 minutes. Rinse with soda water
and then shampoo and condition.
Depression ~ With proper visualization,
Take a whiff from the bottle, or place a few
drops of Orange oil on a cotton ball or in a
diffuser for self-purification, for transforming
depression into peace- even happiness-
and to produce an increase in energy for
both physical and magickal tasks.
*NOTE* Too much orange oil can cause an overwhelming
desire to sleep. Inhale straight Lemon Balm from the
vial, or place a few drops on a cotton ball to help
relieve depression and calm raging emotions.
Dish Washing Soap ~ To add fragrance or to improve the
antiseptic action of your liquid soap, add several drops
of essential oils such as lavender, Melaleuca
alternifolia, fir, spruce, pine, lemon, bergamot, and orange.
Dish Water ~ A few drops of your favorite oil or
blend in the rinse water of your hand
washables makes for pleasant results.
Engagement ~ If you are engaged or wish to get married,
according to an old belief once common in England,
you should take care to never sit on a kitchen table,
for this will break the engagement
and also prevent you from ever being wed.
Fever ~ To bring fever down, sponge the body with cool
water to which 1 drop each of Eucalyptus,
Peppermint and Lavender oils have been added.
Flu Symptoms ~ When the flu is going around add a few
drops of Thyme to your diffuser or simmer in a pan on the stove.
Forks, Spoons and Knives ~
Fork ~ If a fork accidentally falls onto the floor,
a woman will soon knock on your door;
a spoon indicates the arrival of a gentleman.
(In some parts of the world, the fork means a man,
and the spoon a woman.) Unexpected or unwelcome visitors
are also presaged by the dropping of a knife that sticks
in the ground and by cracks that form on the shells
of eggs boiling in a pot of water.
Good News ~ It is believed by many to be an omen
of good news when baked apples burst while in the
oven, or when the salt and sugar are accidentally mixed up.
Hair Growth ~ Place 1 or 2 drops of Rosemary
on your hair brush before brushing
to promote growth and thickness.
Headaches ~ 1 drop Peppermint oil diluted in 1
teaspoon vegetable oil rubbed on the back of
the neck helps to relieve headaches
Home Protection ~ Bells or wind chimes hung
from the doors guard against intruders
and stagnant energy. Hang them where the
air currents can ring them. They will set
up movement in the air and clear the psychic
energy of your home. For your home, place
a few drops of Vetivert oil in a diffuser
or potpourri pot and visualize. This scent
is great for the manifestation of increased
money in your life. Simply visualize this
needed change as you inhale this rich scent.
Use it to anoint candles, money or charms
for the same outcome. Hang the root in houses
and/or gardens to protect the occupants against
the ill effects of bad weather- especially
helpful with hurricanes and tornadoes.
Wherever a Palm grows, it protects the area
from bad weather, and a leaf of the palm kept
near the entrance keeps evil and strange
creatures from entering. The Blackberry
leaves, vines and berries, if grown,
protect the home and all the inhabitants.
Kitchen ~ When cooking any type of food,
add magick to your cooking by drawing an invisible
pentagram inside your pots and pans with you finger,
a wooden spoon or another utensil.
This guards the pan and the food,
ensuring its wholesomeness.
Legal Matters ~ Celandine aids in escaping
unwarranted imprisonment and entrapments
of every kind. Wear the herb next to the skin.
Need to solve a crime? If it's been committed
in the past year - bury a piece of leather
in a bed of Lilies and your clues shall arrive.
Longevity ~ Smell the scent of Rosemary
while you visualize a long, healthy life.
When you need to clear your conscious mind-
inhale the scent. Place a few drops on a cotton
ball and keep it next to you when you are
studying and have to memorize the material-
sniff often. When you need to recall,
smell the oil again and the information
will make itself available. A child passed
through the branches of a Maple tree
will have a long life.
Lost Items ~ If you've lost something,
burn Stillengia and follow the smoke
to its hidden place. Sesame has the
power to discover hidden treasure's,
reveal secret passages and open locked
doors. Hence the infamous magical
command, "Open Sesame!"
Love ~ With visualization, use in
love rituals, either by inhaling
or by anointing candles with Jasmine
to enhance a current relationship or
to draw one to you. Simply inhale
the soothing scent of Jasmine to
lift your spirits, remove depression,
still nerves and silence worries.
The uses for Jasmine far outweigh
the heavy price tag for pure
essential oil. A Lily can be a
cure-all for a love spell. Simply
wear or carry a fresh lily. This
breaks love spells which have been
cast involving a specific person.
Carry of buds of Balm Of Gilead in
an orange cloth/sachet to attract
a new love and/or mend a broken
heart. You can also seep them in
wine to make a simple love infusion
share the charged wine with the
one you love. To see a glimpse
of your future love.
Wear a piece of Goldenrod before you
lie down to sleep.
When you awake you will have a
vision of them. Worn, Elecampane attracts
love; you can sew some of the leaves
or flowers in a pink cloth
or you can make a sachet. Use Pear wood
for magickal wands. Dance beneath a pear
tree on your birthday to invite
love into your life. If you have a lover
or admirer who will not leave you alone
place a plate of Turnips in front of them.
They'll finally get the hint. Grind
Columbine seeds down to use as a love
perfume- rub on your hands and body
to attract love. Eat Parsley to promote
fertility and lust. If you are already
in love, don't cut Parsley as you'll
cut your love as well. If you are
recovering from a broken heart-
carry the blossoms around in a sachet
to help your heart mend.
Use Violet with Lavender to make
a powerful love sachet. Indian Paint
Brush is a powerful love-attracting herb.
Add to lavender, rose petals and orris root
for a super-charged love sachet.
Take via a flower essence for a
creative push- you can also burn
the herb as an incense for the same effect.
Rub the root of Trillium on your body to attract love.
Aphrodisiacs: Love philters and aphrodisiacs should
always be prepared during the waxing of the moon.
Luck ~ Place dried pineapple
into a yellow or orange sachet and add to your path
to attract good luck and fortune to you. If no dried
pineapple is available - add the juice to your bath.
The branches are used as magical wands for spiritual
healing, learning, good luck and fortune.
If Goldenrod springs up suddenly near the door
of your home, unexpected good fortune will soon
shine upon the family. Place several sprigs of
Parsley into your bath to stop misfortune.
Lunar Calendar ~ A witch's kitchen should never
be without a lunar calendar or chart showing the
phases of the Moon and its movement through
the wheel of the zodiac.
Money ~ Inhale the scent of Lemon Balm while
visualizing yourself allowing money back into
