Hearth Witch

Product Information

I also keep a small ceramic bowl that I use as my mini cauldron, much like my mini broom, it’t for more symbolic workings. If you have a large collection of herbal books (as I do), it might not contain anything new to you, but everything is laid out cleanly and in a practical way, which really appeals to me and makes it easy to use. You belive that even small acts such as watering the plants can transform the mundane into the magical. Some tackiness is okay, but if you squeeze a bit of the dough it should come away from your fingers without leaving anything behind on your skin. Having been a practitioner of witchcraft for 16 years, I try to share information in a way that is easy to digest for the beginner and advanced practitioner.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Since apples vary widely in acid levels, typical recipes will contain about half a tablespoon to a tablespoon of bottled lemon juice per pound of apples, depending on other ingredients. Witches have been around for centuries, although the “ witch influencer” on Instagram or WitchTok is something new. Also known as a cottage witch or house witch, records and accounts show that virtually every village at one point in Europe had a healing person of sorts.

It was when I was around 24 years old, maybe 25 – I was on the Pagan Veil by this point anyway, and that was from 24 onwards – that I discovered the term “Hearth Witch” and learned what it meant. There are also some gendered things that I find problematic and off-putting, and problematic references to “smudging”. Unless you are canning with a pressure canner, if there is not enough acid in a recipe, it can cause botulism.

Thus began a shameful chapter of witch persecution and execution through the 16th and 17th centuries (think: the Salem witch trials). Even if the cottage witch lives in an apartment they will likely grow flowers on their window sill or balcony. The Hearth Witch combines the energies of the Green Witch and Kitchen Witch guided by the magic of the home. And even loads of information about astrology, the sabbats (including different recipes to try for them), and the moon phases. She s the author of twenty-eight books and the creator of Sacred Circle Tarot and The Fairy Ring Oracle.Hers are the Old Ways of the countryside, once passed down from mother to daughter, father to son, crone to apprentice.

I mean, it’s not a normal person who prefers to sweep the carpet with a straw broom rather than use a vacuum cleaner. They, no doubt, have a kitchen altar and light a candle to their chosen deity before starting a spell …. In my own practice, I tend to think of it as a combination of the two, with a little something of its own.Featuring recipes and instructions for making everything from homemade wine to soaps, and a variety of potions and spells, The Hearth Witch s Compendium helps you incorporate spiritual practice into everyday life. Kitchen witches might prepare meals for specific holidays, purposes, or rituals to share with their community or coven. I recently purchased the Witchcraft Books Bundle on Etsy and I must say, I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase!
