Encontré este escrito mientras investigaba sobre la Brujería de Cocina. Me gustó mucho .. Poca gente entiende que una Bruja de Cocina no tiene porqué ser una señora rechoncha con delantal de topos obsesionada con la cocina, y que una Bruja del Hogar no acostumbra a ser la maruja del tercero, con el plumero, los rulos y los niños colgados de la bata .. Y casi nadie comprende lo que hacemos, la "práctica del oficio o arte" sin meternos con nadie, inexorablemente avanzando y retrocediendo como la marea en la alquimia del tiempo .. El corazón de viaje de la Bruja de Cocina tiene un don para encontrar lo sagrado y lo mágico en las tareas diarias y los actos más cotidianos, y al tacto con su alma hecha de fuego forja, a penas sin darse cuenta, ni ser siquiera consciente de ello, lo extraordinario a partir de lo ordinario, y lo mágico, de lo mundano.
Originally a Kitchen
Witch, sometimes called a Scandinavian Witch, was a poppet or little doll that
looked like a stereotypical witch. It was kept in the kitchen for good luck and
to protect the home from bad spirits. The one pictured is by Pat Benedict of
woopitydooart.
Today, the term
Kitchen Witch usually refers to those of us who practice Kitchen Witchcraft.
This is where we practice witchcraft while performing tasks like cooking,
baking and stirring. For us these simple chores become a sacred act, a means of
connecting with the arcane. I’m very fond of scrying and enjoy doing this when
stirring and cooking sauces and soups. The warmth and smells enhance the
experience. The use of specific herbs, spices and other foods for practical
magic are a part of Kitchen Witchcraft. (I’ve already talked about using
cinnamon, mint, salt and a few other herbs and spices in previous blogs.) The
craft also extends to the making of potions, soaps, oils etc. for the practice
of magic. The simplicity and lack of formality of Kitchen Witchcraft is what I
love most about it.
