Spirit-
Because spirit is not tangible, its correspondences differ from those of the physical components. Planets, tools, and other objects may be associated with it by various systems, although these associations are significantly less standardised than those of the other four elements. The element of spirit has various names. The most popular are spirit, ether or aether, and quintessence, which is Latin for "fifth element."
There is no universal symbol for spirit, however circles are prevalent. Eight-spoked wheels and spirals are also used to symbolise spirit. Spirit connects the physical and spiritual realms. In cosmological conceptions, the spirit is the intermediary substance between the physical and heavenly realms. Within the microcosm, the spirit serves as the link between the body and the soul.
Invoke your god or goddess. This can be accomplished by looking into their correspondences and making sacrifices or burning suitable incense, for example. If you discover a chant you enjoy, you may utilise it as well, or focus on this god, welcoming the message they wish to convey to you.
Practice divination! This is one of the most effective techniques to connect with the spiritual dimension. It allows you to bypass your conscious mind, which sometimes prevents us from receiving subconscious instructions. Whether you use tarot, a pendulum, or runes, calling on spirit or a specific god can help you connect with this element while performing divination.
Keep a dream notebook. We frequently receive messages in our sleep that we quickly forget unless we write them down. When we sleep, our conscious mind is not functioning, leaving us more receptive to receiving messages from Spirit. To interpret the dreams, become familiar with common symbolism and interpret them instinctively.
Draw, paint, or colour a mandala. This is a style of meditation derived from the Buddhist and Hindu practices of Tantra. Mandalas became popular in the New Age movement after Carl Jung presented them as a tool to examine the subconscious, and they can now be found almost anywhere, including adult colouring books.

Witchcraft and poetry are inseparable for me. What is a poem but a spell, every word woven with care and intention? A poem has the potential to craft new worlds, to open a portal into unseen realities, to rewild our hearts and souls. Poetry is spellcraft.

check out my poetry acc!!
untitled
my mother always told me
"keep your heart
off of your sleeve"
I wish I'd heeded
her advice
I wish I hadn't been
so naive
my heart
is like the ocean
my passion
knows no bounds
i lose myself in devotion
please don't feed me
to the hounds
so set my world on fire
don't pay me any mind
I'll lay my heart
at your feet
let it wash away
with the tides
set my world on fire
send it all ablaze
I won't pay it
any mind
watch you in
a love-drunk haze
(I'll set myself on fire)
my nature is to nurture
offer up a warm
embrace
I gave you everything
I'd had
to feel you
spit right back
in my face
you set my world on fire
won't pay me any mind
I laid my heart
at your feet
you took it
like the tides
set my world on fire
sent it all ablaze
now I can't get you
out my mind
shackled by your
chains
(you set me on fire)
my mother always told me
"keep your heart
off of your sleeve"
I guess now I know why

To those of you who worship obscure divinities: there are no rule that bind you except your own. Go worship that obscure deity. Go invent that festival from scratch. Go make that offering even if it’s unusual. Go write that prayer even if you’re the only one who gets it. Go play around with your freedom as a practitioner and explore! Even in a spiritual context, creativity is a gift.

Kitchen Witchery 101: How to Use Food as Magick
Food is not only a source of nourishment for our bodies but also a powerful medium for manifestation and healing. As a kitchen witch, you can infuse your cooking with intention and magick to enhance the flavors, aromas, and energy of your meals.
In this article, we'll explore some tips and techniques for using food as magickal tools in your witchcraft practice.
Setting the Mood: Creating a Sacred Kitchen Space
Before you start cooking, it's important to create a harmonious and magickal ambiance in your kitchen. This can be done by smudging the area with sage or palo santo, playing calming music, and incorporating natural elements like crystals or plants. You may also want to set up an altar or a small shrine with magickal tools, symbols, or deity statues that resonate with your cooking intentions.
Choosing Ingredients: Aligning with the Elements
Each ingredient in your recipe carries a unique element and energy that can affect the outcome of your magickal cooking. For example, herbs and spices like basil, rosemary, and thyme are associated with the element of air and are good for mental clarity and communication. Root vegetables like carrots, beets, and potatoes are related to the element of earth and are great for grounding and rooting energy. Fruits like oranges, lemons, and berries are associated with the element of water and can enhance emotional healing and intuition. And hot peppers, garlic, and ginger are related to the element of fire and can add passion, courage, and creativity to your recipes.
Infusing Intentions: Adding Magickal Properties to Your Recipes
Once you've chosen your ingredients, it's time to infuse them with your intentions and magickal energy. This can be done through visualization, chanting, or simple affirmations. For example, you can bless your ingredients by saying "I bless this salt with protection and purification," or "I infuse these tomatoes with love, healing, and prosperity." You can also symbolically charge your ingredients by arranging them in a sacred geometric pattern, such as a pentacle, a spiral, or a flower of life.
Cooking with Intention: Stirring, Chanting, and Blessing
As you cook your meal, keep your intentions and magickal energy flowing by stirring the pot clockwise to attract positive energy and counterclockwise to banish negative energy. You can also chant, hum, or sing a magickal song that aligns with your intentions while cooking. And finally, don't forget to bless and thank your meal before serving, by saying "I thank the spirits of the ingredients for their energy and blessings. May this meal nourish and heal my body, mind, and soul."
Some Simple Kitchen Witch Recipes:
- Prosperity Rice: Boil rice with water, add chopped onions, garlic, and ginger, and sprinkle with green onions. As you stir clockwise, visualize abundance, prosperity, and success flowing into your life. Serve with a green salad or steamed vegetables.
- Love Potion Tea: Boil water in a teapot, add fresh rose petals, cinnamon sticks, and honey, and let it steep for 10 minutes. As you pour the tea, visualize love, passion, and intimacy filling your heart and relationships. Serve with cookies or chocolates.
- Healing Soup: Boil chicken broth with chopped carrots, celery, and herbs like parsley and thyme. As you stir clockwise, visualize healing, peace, and strength entering your body and mind. Serve hot with bread or crackers.
Kitchen witchery is a beautiful and practical way to connect with the spirit of food, nature, and your inner wisdom. By incorporating magickal intention and energy into your cooking, you can transform a mundane activity into a sacred ritual that nourishes your soul and body. So, don't be afraid to experiment with your recipes and let your intuition guide you towards the perfect flavors and ingredients for your magickal meal.

50 KITCHEN WITCH TIPS TO MAKE YOU FEEL MORE WITCHY
(And other useful things I've learned over the years)
Hi! This is a list of dos, don'ts, tips, tricks, and other fun things that I've learned over the years. I always love finding more effective and efficient ways of doing things so if you have any cool things you'd like to add, leave them in the comments or reblog. I'd love to read it.
Anyways... On with the list ^_^
Light candles around your kitchen space (just make sure nothing flammable is near you)
Annotate your cookbooks with the correspondence of the ingredients.
Mediating is really good to calm the mind before cooking.
Cut oranges and lemons thinly, dry them, and hang them with twine around your kitchen
Need a cleansing tip? Open all your windows near your kitchen. Let some fresh air in.
Cutting sigils into apples, pie crusts, and carved potatoes.
Save lemon and orange rinds, freeze them, and then use them to clean the garbage disposal.
Make infused oils and honey: Things like garlic honey, lavender honey, herb oil, sun oil, moon oil, dandelion oil, and other different edible oils are very fun and useful to make.
Hid sigils in pages of your cookbooks and kitchen witch journals.
Add some plants! Snake plants and spider plants don't need too much light, and growing your own herbs in your kitchen is awesome too. Basil, lavender, thyme, aloe vera, rosemary, etc. are good fits. You could also add some plants that require more sunlight on the kitchen window sill. Like cacti and succulents.
Bring crystals into your kitchen space such as rose quartz, clear quartz, amethyst, or whatever you want the space's intentions to be.
I keep a small money tree on the sill, along with cacti for luck and protection.
Make a simmer Pot! Mostly because it makes the whole house smell good, easy, and fun.
Stir clockwise for best results!
Learning how to pickle things is actually pretty witchy. Plus, anyone could do it as it requires absolutely no kitchen experience. You could pickle any vegetable, even if you don't like pickles. I originally learned this after having to take shelter from a natural disaster. A person brought a bunch of stuff and taught us how to pickle things with different spices and herbs. Very fun!
Decorate your kitchen with your favorite stuff. Crystals, decor, heat mits, that cool mushroom cake stand you've been eyeing at the World Market for the past 2 weeks, cool looking curtains, sun catchers. Why stop there? Paint the walls, hang shelves full of marked-up cookbooks that are a little too well-loved and thumbed through.
Wanna be the person that has the amazing-smelling house every time people come over? Syrups take some time to simmer down, it's actually a pretty good time to leave it on the stove to simmer. Since syrups have a lot of aromatic ingredients, it acts as a really good-smelling simmer pot.
Hang up herbs to dry with twine from cabinets that are rarely used.
Invest in that new set of plates and cups.
Homemade jams, butter, sauces, and syrups are your best friend.
Crochet or knit your own dish rags, pot holders, etc.
Don't pour extremely hot things into a glass that's not Pyrex, it will break, and you will be very sad about it.
Don't cook anything while extremely upset or emotional (For safety reasons)
Make recipes you want to make, not just because you'll like the effect. Make it because you think it's tasty.
Chinese Five Spice works in place of herbs for protection and luck spells a lot of the time! It's cheaper to buy 1 spice than 4 different spices that total up to 15 dollars when you could just spend 3-4 dollars.
Take a shower before cooking (I don't know how to explain this one other than it makes you feel better)
Don't use microfiber/plastic material clothes on hot burners, it will fuse to the burner and melt. It is VERY hard to get off.
I don't know if I need to put this one but I did see someone do it so nonstick pan = wooden utensils and plastic utensils, metal pan = metal utensils. Do not use a metal spoon in a nonstick pan, please. It can make you very sick.
Keep your pets away from hot oil, open ovens, and hot pans.
You can proof bread dough in the fridge overnight if you don't have the time to bake, or want to eat fresh bread right in the morning.
Need a quick witchy meal for dinner in 12 minutes? Use premade tomato pasta sauce and doctor it up with thyme, rosemary, and garlic, for protection and distilling stagnant energies. Serve with pasta of your liking.
You can substitute Butter for Crisco/shortening, buttermilk for 1 cup of milk + 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, and heavy cream for 1 cup of half and half plus 2 tbsp of butter.
Use leftover animal bones to make bone broth
Teach yourself the art of bread scoring (It's fun, and you can show it off to your loved ones!)
Collect and hoard your own and others' family recipes.
Sometimes the food doesn't have to be a spell, sometimes it just makes you feel good and you don't know why.
Listen to your favorite music in the kitchen, it makes the monotonous things like chopping veggies move faster.
Invest in a vegetable chopper if you don't like chopping vegetables.
Find a really good hot cocoa recipe and make it once a week. Master it. Just for your own happiness because hot cocoa is really good. You could also be the friend/family member that makes the best hot cocoa ever.
Focaccia Bread Lasts a very long time, and it's very easy to make!
Keep a first aid kit near where the oven is, in case of burns, cuts, or serious injuries where time is everything.
Quick Bread and no-rise loaves are simple for beginners, tasty, and take little time. They also feel very witchy to make.
Study a bit of Herbalism! It's fun and really helps better understand the herbs you're putting into your food.
While something is boiling, put your wooden spoon over the pot to minimize the chance of something boiling over.
Try a bit of coffee magick, it's simple to get into, and gives you a boost of energy to take on the day!
If you're over 21, wine-making is a very interesting way to celebrate the sabbats. Just with that, make sure you KNOW what you're doing. With anything fermented, there's always a risk if you don't store things correctly. Apple wines, strawberry wines, dandelion wines, etc. all very cool to experiment with. If you're not over 21, vinegar is a similar way to experiment.
Hang up some witchy things, sigils, photos, cool magnets, and other things that give you joy on your fridge. (Sometimes if you are lucky they have some fun magnets at five below)
If you live in the US, for some reason, there are a lot of books in the book section dedicated to witchcraft and spirituality. At least where I live. And they are all under 5 dollars!
Teas are the cheapest and easiest things you can practice being a kitchen witch.
