It always makes me giggle when I get questions in this inbox about “Why do you have food pictures in a witch blog” Its like… Uuuuuh HULLO! Kitchen/Hedgewitch here. Duuuuh. It really makes me sad when people can’t see the magic qualities in everyday things anymore like Basil leaves, salt, rose hips…

When you take the time to put meals together from the basic ingredients, you have a magical opportunity at hand. You can infuse every dish with intent and will. A meal can stop being something you dump out of a can, and start being a ritual in and of itself. When you take time to prepare something with your own hands, that lends it sacredness, and will make you want to spend time savoring it with your family, rather than just snarfing it down on your way out the door to soccer practice. By changing the way you view food, its preparation and its consumption, you can craft some practical magic at its simplest level.

Magic is there, if you dare to see it.
