As a Kitchen Witch

This is just a list I am working on.

As a kitchen witch, I:

·         Occasionally cover my hair, especially when honoring Hestia

·         Do not eat meat between Samhain and Yule

·         Do not cover my hair as much between Samhain and Yule

·         See the time between those two sabbats as being  between the old year and the new, and our world and the one on the other side of the veil

·         Use seasonal, local ingredients as often as possible

·         Stir clockwise unless I am banishing negativity

·         Prefer wooden spoons

·         Leave offerings of food

·         Donate food to those in need

·         Use cooking as a ritual, especially bread making

·         Chant as I chop or knead

·         Use mealtimes as ritual time

·         Am extra domestic during my menstrual cycle

·         Use my recipe book as a book of shadows and diary

·         Give thanks for the parts of the meal as well as the meal itself

·         Infuse my cooking with love

·         Burn candles when cooking sabbat meals

·         Cook to feed and heal my soul and mind

·         Read cookbooks like novels

·         Research kitchen, hearth, and food deities from other cultures

·         Learn, learn, learn
