Think you could be a kitchen witch?
Also known as a cottage witch, or a hearth witch, these magickal mavens are people who work their craft in their kitchens at home.
Witchcraft isn’t all about the supernatural.
In fact, most magick is much more everyday than that – taking place in homes all around the world, on kitchen tabletops, on ordinary cookers, and inside ordinary ovens. But these domestic surroundings don’t make the witchcraft performed there any less powerful. In fact, spells cast at home, by witches who are fully integrated into everyday life can have a much more grounded and immediate effect!
If you want to change your life through magick, then what better place to start than in your own home?
In fact… if you’re someone who feels called to all things witchy, then it’s highly likely you’re already practicing kitchen witchery, without even realizing!
