Witchcraft and your Kitchen
Kitchen witchcraft is often thought of as simply cooking and baking, but there is so much more to it! There’s tons of ways you can incorporate kitchen practices into your craft and make it a part of your everyday life. For example, today let’s look at a great way to keep your space clean, and involve correspondences! It’s simple, easy, and only involves a few ingredients.
Take a small jar of some type (I used a leftover pickle jar that I washed) and place some leftover lemon halves/rinds inside. I used a single lemon that I had squeezed to make a pitcher of tea. Cover the lemon with white vinegar, close the lid tightly and let sit for at least 2 weeks. (This was the hardest part for me, honestly!) Every few days or so walk by and shake it up, getting those good, good lemon particles into the vinegar. After the 2 weeks is up, pour the lemon-vinegar into a spray bottle and mix with water, about 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water. Now use it as an all-purpose cleaner! Spray on countertops, microwaves, stoves, inside the fridge, etc! It’s super useful and very simple to make.
Danny, nothing about this sounds like witchcraft. What gives?
Well, let me explain!
First, the acid in lemons is antibacterial and antiseptic, and it acts almost as a natural bleach without being so harsh. The oils in the peel will shine surfaces. The citrus smell of a lemon is refreshing and invigorating, and because of that it’s often associated with happiness, purification, and protection. Plus- you’re reusing scraps you already have laying around the kitchen (if you don’t, make some tea. When in doubt always make tea!). So, go green!
Vinegar is associated with the element Fire, protection, and guarding the home (plus its also an amazing natural cleaning agent).
Finally, and the most important ingredient is your intentions. Whenever you walk by and shake your jar, place both hands on it and close your eyes. Focus in on your intentions and purpose. Is this just intended to clean? Do you want it to also protect your home from bad energy and outside forces (of any or all types)? Pour your energy into the jar and activate it everytime you shake it.
Now spray your countertops with your mixture and wipe down with a rag or paper towel and voila! Also- make it your own! Spray your doorways if you wish, dab a small amount onto your shoes before you leave the house, or wherever you see fit! Make your craft your own and have fun with it!
