That Secret Magic Ingredient
For some people, doing kitchen magic just doesn't have the same impact vs something more glamorous. Crystals and candles and cauldrons and wands- all that looks and feels very Witchy from the start. But cooking...it's just so mundane. We've been cooking and eating our whole lives. It just doesn't feel special enough.
And while I prefer to encourage people to follow a path they are more drawn to, I'm aware Kitchen Witchcraft is a very useful path for those still "in the broom closet". You want ways to do magic without being noticed or exposed.
So I wanted to offer something I started doing as a way to add more magical energy on days I have low energy. It's a premade magic powder. Magic powders are common on many paths, as a way to add extra magical energy to a spell. They may also be used to ward areas. But not all transfer well into food, as some of the items used in magic powders are dangerous to consume. Glitter is commonly used.
While my magic powder is safe to eat, keep in mind of allergies. If you forget what's in the powder, don't use it for anyone who has allergies. This powder also works best in Savory foods, as it will not disrupt the flavor profile too much for most foods. I'm still figuring out a combo that works well in Sweet Foods, so let me know if interested.
1 Tbsp fine salt
1 tsp powder ginger
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp ground celery seed
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Oregano
Mix Together well in a small bowl or a mortar and pestle. Do this in a sunny place as solar energy can really help kick start the magic energy in your powder. Perhaps choose to sing an uplifting song or put on some music as you mix to ensure all energy going into the powder is positive. You may also wish to leave the powder in the sun to charge longer, or use other means to help charge.
-Light an orange candle near by
-Place the bowl of powder in another container of sunflower seeds
-Rest a clean Crystal on the powder, like Citrine or Red Jasper.
-Whatever feels right to you.
Once you feel your powder is well combined and charged, transfer it to an air tight container.
To use: Take a small pinch of the powder and add it to your food while cooking. The powder will help elevate the magical energy you already added to the food while making it.
