Kitchen Chants and Blessings

I like to use various Chants as I work in the kitchen or the home in general. It helps to make the chores magical and infuses meaning into what I do, a way of focusing on the job at hand if you like.
These are my Chants and Blessings and you are welcome to use them if wish.

This Blessing I use when I have spring cleaned the Kitchen I do this a few times in the year trust me no matter how often I wipe the cupboards out they still need a good old tidy up and sort out. I am not the only one who uses the cupboards as my Husband helps in the kitchen as well.

 Cupboard Blessing

Beloved Brigid Goddess of Hearth and Home

Goddess of Sunrise, Wells and Springs

I ask your Blessing upon my things.

Bless my cupboards upon my wall

Bless my cupboards on my floor

Bless their contents one and all

Bless them all forever more.

 Counter Chant

Goddess this counter that I now clean

Will look the best its ever been.

For like the Altar it will be

A sacred place for you to see.

 Appliance Blessing

Beloved Brigid I come to you,

With a heart that is true.

Bless my cooker and every pot,

Bless the appliances that keep things hot.

Bless washing and drying machine,

That dries my clothes and keeps them clean.

Bless the Fridge and Freezer too

That keeps the food good as new

Bless them all as they will be

Used both Mundane and Magically.

 Tool Charge

Collect together an asperger, water, incense, salt and a white candle.

Cast a circle to encompass the whole kitchen

Call to the Goddess and the God and the Elements

Add the salt to the water ask for it to be Blessed

Light the Candle and Incense.

Face East and hold the asperger (An asperger is a device traditionally  constructed of either brass or silver, used to sprinkle water for purification at the beginning of spells. I use a mini besom that I made as an asperger)  in your Power hand and walk Deosil ( clockwise) and sprinkle the water from the asperger as you walk around saying:

Earth and Water charge these tools

that each day I do use,

Remove from them all negativity

Charge them with positive energy

Do the same with the Incense and Candle asking Air and Fire to charge the tools.

Then call upon the Goddess and God:

Goddess Brigid and God Cernunnos

With your love these tools infuse

As each one I do use

Charge each with your love and care

As the food I do prepare

Charge them each and every one

So my work will harm none.

 Ingredient Blessing

Goddess Brigid

As each ingredient I do use

With your love let it be infused  

They grew in the Earth with love and care

They grew strong with wind and Air

Fire  warmed them as the sun 

As Water fed them one by one

Bless this food that I prepare

Bless it with your love and care.

Dusting and Cleaning Chant

As I  do now dust and clean

Let my home sparkle and gleam

Negative energy cannot stay

in a home that's bright as day

Floor Mopping Chant

A tacky floor will not do

With soap and water I clean you.

 My trusty mop will make you gleam

Until my face can be seen.

Chants and Blessings help to make what you do a little more magical they can be funny, serious, rhyme or not it is up to you. There is no right or wrong way to do it and you can make up chants for any chore you do, I say them in my head but you can say them out loud if you like.

Try making some up of your own you don't have to be a poet have some fun playing around with words until it feels right to you.
