can someone explain to me what a KITCHEN WITCH is cause i'm a celt and someone said my wife is a k.w.?

Answer 1

means they're old school, and make magick with whatever they happen to have around--the old time witches would never have had anything for purely ceremonial use--they'd have used what herbs were in the area naturally, used their kitchen broom, not a special besom, they made a lot of magick lamps just by dropping a few herbs in the oil, and it all worked fine for them--a kitchen witch is more of a purist when it comes to the craft

Answer 2

A kitchen witch is a practitioner of magic who uses the tools at hand to work his or her spells and create their rituals. For example, the kitchen witch might use a kitchen carving knife for an athame or a cast iron pot for a cauldron. Common kitchen herbs frequently have magical uses as well.

Some kitchens have a kitchen witch doll, which is said to prevent burnt pots, keep meals hot and flavorful, and to weave the family together. The kitchen witch doll is often placed over the stove, near the kitchen entrance, or sometimes over a seating area in the kitchen.

Superstition had it that when milk curdled or food burned, it was the fault of witches. The kitchen witch was meant to counter that with good magic and help out in the kitchen so that food never tasted too salty, water always boiled and food didn't burn. The superstition may be Norwegian

It is an appropriate gift to give newlyweds, as they need all the help in the kitchen they can get.

Answer 4

I could be called a kitchen witch too. Domestic little people. I'd take that as a compliment. I don't identify myself as a witch at all however.

Answer 5

It really simply means that she is a witch that is "domestically inclined." Like she takes pride in her home, perhaps tends a garden, and takes great pride in raising her children, and probably is an excellent cook.
She uses the things from her kitchen and/or garden in her magickal workings.

Answer 6

... Eh, probably wrong but it could just pertain to a woman who is talented in the kitchen, (with cooking, cleaning and such) but I dimly remember hearing something about them also having hot tempers or something.

Answer 7

It's a kind of insult,(my opinion).Like backyard mechanic instead of certified,or garage band instead of arena act.
