  The Trad Witch Kitchen: Easy Banana Blueberry Bread Welcome back to The Trad Witch Kitchen ! I created this series because I truly believe that every aspect of our life is ritual and Magick . Our Spirituality doesn’t begin and end at the altar. When we live each moment with intention—whether we’re sweeping the floor, tending the garden, or baking bread—we align ourselves with abundance. Whether you work closely with Spirits, honor Deities, or simply dabble in Magick, remember this: you manifest through action and the subconscious. A clean home, a nourished body, a lovingly prepared meal—these are all sacred acts. For me, baking is a form of meditation. It centers me. There’s something so deeply fulfilling about making delicious food from ingredients I’ve grown myself or sourced ethically. And when I leave offerings to the house Spirits, Entities, or even Demons I find they carry even more power when they’re made with my own two hands—from herbs I’ve gathered or bread I’ve baked. ...

  I’ve been a bit under the weather, so I hadn’t added as many old-fashioned recipes to the blog as I wanted. Now that I’m feeling better, I realized how behind I was on household chores—one of them being baking bread for the week or two ahead. This series is an extension of my belief that there is magick and ritual in all that we do. And when we honor our family by providing them with fresh-made foods, we honor spirits. I especially like to use my own homemade breads when I am in need of a ritual offering for someone who prefers such pleasantries. Part of my household “chores,” if you will, is making sure Eddie has good meals for when he’s out there working his rear end off so that I can stay home—something I am always grateful for. I express this gratitude in cooking, since I am not, by nature, the most affectionate of people. I am also all about saving money, and when you go through as much bread as we do, baking is really the cheapest way to go! Fun Fact: I am intolerant to ...

  The Magick of Everyday Cooking: A Kitchen Witch's Perspective When we think of witchcraft, spiritualism and magick, we think of intricate rituals, spells, and dark mysticism. Many find their magick to be deliberate and perfectly timed. Yet, the time not spent practicing their craft is devoted to life, family, schedules and general conformity. But what if I told you that there is magick in everything we do? When we are at rest, the universe is still hard at work. The spirits still exist in the shadows. The other side of the veil is still housing the secrets it keeps. Every single part of your day, from your hobbies to housework should be performed and perfected with the Spirits in mind. There is a reason that many of us revel in a freshly cleaned home. Nothing brings a state of contentment quite like lighting a candle and sitting in your tidy, shiny space, just soaking up everything around you. It is truly satisfying. Creating an existence that intertwines my spirituality with my ...
