The Kitchen Witch

Your Complete Guide to Creating a Magical Kitchen with Natural Ingredients, Sacred Rituals, and Spellwork

By Skye Alexander • Foreword by Arin Murphy-Hiscock

Turns out, the most magical room in your house might be the one with the snacks.

In The Kitchen Witch, award-winning author Skye Alexander transforms everyday cooking into an intentional magical practice. This approachable guide explores the symbolism and traditional magical properties of 100 familiar ingredients, showing how the foods already hiding in your pantry can become part of spells, rituals, and intention work.

Discover how ordinary ingredients—from chocolate and figs to onions and squash—have been associated with intentions such as love, creativity, prosperity, protection, and success. Alexander encourages you to look beyond the recipe itself, considering the meaning of each ingredient and transforming meals you already know and love into something a little more magical.

Rather than requiring an entirely separate collection of mysterious ingredients, The Kitchen Witch brings the craft into everyday life. Learn the foundations of kitchen magic and spellwork, explore the energetic associations of common foods, and discover how preparing and sharing a meal can become its own meaningful ritual.
