What is a Hearth Witch?

We all see things differently and this is my way of doing things that I wanted to share as I have no one to pass on what I do to. I am a Solitary and have never belonged to a Coven so everything I have learnt is from books, study and practical experience over the years.

To me being a Hearth Witch is about focusing on honouring the Goddess by taking care of the home. A way of giving sacred meaning to daily household chores using blessings and rituals. To cook with meaning and adding magickal intent to meals. Making items for the home, friends and family that are filled with love and magickal intent.

I will talk about the tools I use and where I got them from or how I made them. You will find Recipes for the Sabbats, Esbats and various Celebrations. I hope that you will enjoy my blog.

A NOTE ON TOOLS

You do not NEED certain tools they are simply nice to have I focus on the practical side of things so use what I have or can make or get that is inexpensive.

Being a Hearth Witch

Some people are known as Kitchen Witches, Cottage Witch, Hedge Witch and Hearth Witch.
All focus on the home and nature in various ways, they do differ but to me only slightly.
For me being a Hearth Witch means I focus my Craft on the Home and that means everything in the home, cooking, cleaning, sewing, knitting, making my own altar tools, using spells, chants and blessings.

Sounds complicated?
Well I can assure you it is not and I do not believe in making life complicated I like it to be simple, practical and inexpensive. Lets face it we all have to budget these days and it makes sense to create something yourself, it will have your energy in it and that will make it extra special.

Now before you say I am hopeless at sewing or making something I will let you into a secret, I am not great at sewing and everything I make is easy to do, so if I can do it anyone can.
I love knitting and make all sorts of things for Charities as a way of  giving to the community and helping others.
I make things for friends, family and the home along with making items I like to use in my rituals.

Over the years I have changed what I do and have found that I have simplified things and now have tools that I have made or bought from various sources like Charity shops, Market stalls or found when out on day trips.
The reality is we do not need tools for rituals they are there to help us focus on what we do and each person uses the tools they feel most comfortable with.
So feel free to browse my blog and use what you find of interest.
