You might not know it yet, but your kitchen is a magical haven, babe.
Cooking is a way to connect to nature, connect to our ancestors, and connect to ourselves. The food we cook for ourselves is a gift—from the earth and for our body. Food is a spell of self nourishment, energy, and love. Everything from planning, preparing, and enjoying our meals is an act of self-devotion and a message
of self-love that causes a ripple effect through the rest of our life. Eating is already a daily routine for most of us, and it's a golden opportunity to shift mindless action into intentional living. Incorporating magic into our cooking allows us to savour and delight in the abundance in front of us.
There's no doubt that kitchen witches are also powerful pleasure witches—and you can be one too, babe. As the wheel of the year turns towards the autumn and the Season of the Witch, we've prepared a decadent offering of kitchen magic for the hungry heart. Join us as we gather with herbalist and chef Melissa Madara for The Witch's Guide to Cultivating Magic in the Kitchen!
Together, we'll dive deep into the history of European kitchen magic, wandering through recipes for love potions and ancestral feasts, blessed pastries and astrological herbs. We'll also be getting our hands dirty—class will be bookended by magical baking, where we'll whip up Melissa's glorious Rosemary Star Bread (pictured below in its full splendor). Though we'll be honing in on European culinary magic, the practices we'll be exploring for cultivating joy and
connection in the kitchen are far-reaching, and we can't wait to celebrate the magic of food with you, babe!
