Well alright... my kitchen doesn't really look like this.

The kitchen can be considered a sacred space in the home. It is a creative area for one's spiritual path. In the kitchen, it is easy to realize that magic is not just for rituals, but is an everyday expression of reverence, love, and positive energy.

As a beginning ritual, before preparing any food, light a candle, or sprinkle some tap water around the kitchen. Cleaning the preparation area, both physically and spiritually, is a good habit. Say a small prayer or incantation before beginning.

The Kitchen Goddess

How will your kitchen honor the Goddess?
Choose the Goddess that best reflects your path. Or, choose the
Goddess that embodies the celebration at hand.
For example, if you follow the Celtic path, honor Cerridwen in your kitchen. Invoke her image and ask
for her guidance as you work.

A blessing upon your new home,
A blessing upon your new hearth,
A blessing upon your new dwelling,
Upon your newly kindled fire.

A blessing upon your tallest grass,
A blessing upon your fruitful partner,
A blessing upon your growing son/s,
Upon your growing daughter/s.

A blessing upon the household's helpers,
A blessing upon the children yet unborn,
A blessing upon the wise parents,
Upon your occupation.

A blessing upon your goods and income,
A blessing upon your kith and kin,
A blessing upon you in light or darkness,
Each day and night of your lives.

--The Carmina Gadelica
