I do a smoke cleansing ritual to the spirits of the land I live on, the Indigenous peoples of this land, my ancestors, and give thanks for being able to make my home here.

Appies, dinner, dessert, a fancy drink like homemade lemonade with fruit in it… it’s a great way to practice hearthcraft. From basil to black pepper and from compresses to cough drops, this comprehensive guide shares everything you need to know for living the hearth witch way. Witches have been around for centuries, although the “ witch influencer” on Instagram or WitchTok is something new.One of my fave ways to absorb negative vibes and keep a nice workspace in a non-obtrusive way is through using salt bowls. She reminds me that she has only lived this long because of her high standards and she rewards our hard work with her safety and comfort.

No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Lemon and lavender essential oils may be their favorites because of their cleansing properties, but cinnamon oil may liven up the atmosphere while rosemary oil is the all purpose enchanter. Then you start looking into properties of herbs, and crafting things that suit the needs of those you’re going to serve it to. As a cottage witch, this lovely book is an essential part of my witchcraft library and I refer to it all the time for both cooking and magickal assistance. Honestly, a lot of times, I just use this to describe myself, because it’s kind of self-explanatory.The mid-20th century saw a positive revival of the term “witch” through the Wiccan movement in the U.

They use only the highest quality ingredients, and if the don’t have a kitchen garden they will frequent the local farmers market. 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. It might be a table with a grouping of candles or a glowing salt lamp, but it will be a place that gives off the warm glow of the home hearth. And there is advice on raising plants, storing and preserving produce, the uses of different woods, and candle making.You don't entirely escape the "an it harm none" or "Lord and Lady" but it does not in any way detract from the reading, and simply offers a view that we should protect and cherish our world.

Gray witches straddle the divide between “white” and “black” magic, using whatever suits the situation. If you are discovering that you are a witch of hearth and home, I hope this post has been useful in helping you along your path. I also realised how stupid I was being, I knew that witchcraft and Wicca were not the same thing, and the Wiccanate Witchcraft annoyed many other Pagans as well, so the grudge I was holding was just a wilful hindrance.In fact I am giving one to a friend practicing for many years and another to a friend just entering the craft. The way of the Hearth Witch is an uncomplicated, direct form of magic, deceptively simple and unspeakably profound. So go ahead and use the nice plates, put your drink in a wine glass, add some garnish and a little drizzle on the side of your plate.
