The Significance of Recipes

For a kitchen witch, there are few things more important than their recipes. Some are so ingrained in us that we never have to check them; others we have to look up every time because we always forget that one step or ingredient.

Recipes are very personal. They aren't just part of our Book of Shadows, they're a part of our craft, and a part of us. Some of them are part of our lineage. For even the most mundane person, family recipes are a type of hereditary magic -so imagine what that's like for a kitchen witch!

If a kitchen witch won't share a recipe, don't take it to heart. That recipe is probably just too personal to impart to another. When you make another's recipe, you become a part of their lineage. That isn't something we take lightly. A piece of us lives in our recipes. A piece of our ancestors lives in family recipes. My Aunt Robin's biscuit recipe is sacred down to the brand of flour you have to use. You cannot miss one step of the ritual when making my mother's chicken parmesan. My hand to Persephone, my chocolate chip cookies are entirely reliant on the mood of the person making them, and my buttercream icing only comes out right if you listen to the correct music.

These are the little quirks that add true meaning to a recipe. You can find any biscuit recipe in any Southern cookbook. Any Italian food site has chicken parmesan. Chocolate chip cookie recipes are ubiquitous. My exact recipe for buttercream is on the Wilton website. What makes our recipes different isn't just ingredients or techniques. It's feelings. It's intentions. It's energy. It's the spirit of our grandmother guiding our hand as we pour the vanilla.

That is why recipes are sacred to the kitchen witch.

Trans Witch Tip

Place a curse on your deadname so that when someone calls you by it they get a whole lot of bad luck/misfortune ✌

[that-nonbinary-guy]

HOW DO I DO THIYI WANT TO DO THIS

[da-at-ass]

Oh! Okay so first of all you can easily do a banishing on your deadname in a number of ways. This makes it get out of your life and be as far away from you as possible. I’ll list a few ways I like to banish on the go:

Write the name on a post-it note, go to a bathroom, attach the post-it note to a paper protective seat cover if you’re in a public/store bathroom (I prefer public bathrooms for banishings because it’s a liminal space and not attached to my own home and also typically industrial-grade toilets that can handle a lot of stuff like post-its, but it’s a tough climate for trans people and public bathrooms these days so BE SAFE and make the choice you are comfortable with) and then flush the toilet and the seat protector and attached post-it away. Otherwise you can just flush the post-it anywhere or use any paper. You can also write directly on a protective seat cover if that’s feasible. I keep pens on me at almost all times. Anyway running water is a classic banisher and that’s what flushing produces, and I find it a good modern replacement for a river. And it’s nice when public bathrooms can work FOR trans people, you know?

Otherwise I tend to use trash magic/trash witchcraft (I have a bunch of posts in that tag on it plus WIP excerpts from a book I’m writing) for banishing, and it’s along the lines of the above: write name, dispose of it. Chuck it in the trash. Public trash is great because it’s far from where you live and it’s already out in the world. It’s gone now, it’s out of your life. A variant is using Pokemon Go to delete stuff from your life.

If you want to curse people who use your deadname then it’s actually pretty simple. A lot of people make curse jars because then you can stick the ingredients in a jar and then bury it or shelve it so that the curse just stays somewhere safe and away from you and does its work while you go on with your life. You can also use a box. (You can even use something as small as an Altoids tin!) But with magic I encourage you to get frisky, follow your instincts, and do what feels right and just GO WITH IT. Anyway the easiest way to target, say, your deadname being said is to write the name on a piece of paper then draw a speech bubble around it to symbolize it being spoken. Then I’d stick that piece of paper in a jar/box, and put in some stuff that will make the person who says it feel pretty shitty. A classic is vinegar. Pepper, especially cayenne pepper, hot sauce, lemon juice, etc. Things you essentially don’t want in your mouth in large amounts??? Wasabi and Sriracha are also great candidates. You can also put in nails or even thumbtacks. Rose thorns/plant spines. Sewing pins are classic. Also broken glass. (Be careful handling stuff that can cut you!) Some people avoid ingredients that mold, saying that mold shows the spell has ceased to work. Others feel the mold increases the nastiness. If you use a cardboard box you’ll want dry ingredients.

And you can also throw in a zipper to keep people’s mouth shut in regards to your deadname!

Anyway, stick a bunch of awful punishing stuff in that jar with the paper and seal it up. You can seal the lid with wax if you’re feeling frisky, wrap it all with duct tape if you want though, it’s all your style and based on what you have on hand. Witchcraft for me is about using the means available to achieve the effects you need. Then put the jar/box away. Either a high closet shelf, or bury it, or find some place to stash it where it’s out of exposure to you but likely to remain intact for a good long time.

That’s the basics. You can always add or modify by using herb correspondences. The full moon was last night and it tends to have a 3-day range of effect so if you did this today, tonight would be a good time to charge the spell in the moonlight for extra power.

[that-nonbinary-guy]

Omg so I have drawstring bags with my deadname embroidered on them by my mom, the person who deadnames me the most. Do you think that would be a good container? It feels like just the right amount of irony to me.

[da-at-ass]

HAHA YES THAT IS PERFECT. Actually you could turn one inside out to put your deadname on the inside, stuff a taglock in (like her hair or something from her, though the bag itself, being from her, is already gonna suffice to a large degree) and then some pepper or thorns or whatnot, and then tie it shut. The bag can literally symbolize her mouth. So basically when she tries to say your deadname, her mouth will shut on it instead, and also she’ll feel the effect of whatever you seal into the bag. You can stick that inside a jar or box and add more stuff if wanted.

I like it because it doubles as a binding spell!

[spell-recipes]

A little nastier than my usual stuff but being queer myself, I feel it’s justified!

[spellbookbitch]

On my birthday I literally ate my birthname on my cake(it was those little sugar crunchy things?) -Ace/Asher

[justanonbinarywitch]

You can also use this for people using the wrong pronouns! Just add the wrong pronouns in the speech bubble with your dead name!

What to do when you are too tired for advanced witching

🔥 Fire witches:

Light a candle or a stick of incense. Focus on the flame, the burning. Envision bonfires, hear the crackling of wood. Close your eyes and observe the spectacle underneath your lids.

💨 Air witches:

Open your window for a minute or two. Let the wind caress your face, let your lungs be filled with fresh air. Extend your hand through the window and allow it to flow.

💦 Water witches:

Take a bowl and fill it with water. Bury your hand inside it, feel the temperature shift. Then take it out. Observe the ripples. Imagine the quiet murmur of a mountain brook and the crashing thunder of ocean waves.

🍀 Earth witches:

Water your plants. Contemplate the patterns in which the soil soaks up. Brush the leaves and whisper a quiet ‘thank you’ for providing you with the gift of life. Dip your finger in the soil and smear it across your hand.

🍵 Kitchen witches:

Brew yourself some tea. Sit comfortably and raise the cup closer to your face. Inhale the scent of the drink, rejoice in its richness. Taste the bouquet and let yourself be swayed with sensations.

Pumkin Cake Recipe for Luck and Money

1 medium pumpkin cooked and puréed. Try not to take the one for carving because they are too watery and less flavoursome. 

3 large eggs beaten with a glass of milk

180g sugar

125g melted butter

200g fine or regular coucous

3 tbsp rhum

1 tsp ground cinammon

½ tsp ground cloves

½ tsp ground allspice

½ tsp ground nutmeg

Mix everything in this order. This cake is really easy to do, you just need to mix everything and bake. It make a big amount of dough so you need a fairly big cake mold.  Bake 1 hour at 160ºC/320ºF

This is my grand mother recipe. I added the mix of spices because I love it! They are really powerful magical spices. Cooked with intention, with cake is a magnet for money and luck!

Allspice – money, luck

Cinnamon – success, protection

Clove – protection, money

Nutmeg – luck, money
