My take on being a Hearth Witch with Recipes,Crafting and a lot more thrown into the mix.
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.

My Aprons
This one I made myself from scrap material and it is hand sewn I named it my Element Apron as it has all the colours of the Elements. The back is made from black material so it wards off negative energy. This was easy to make and I use it when I make things for rituals, herb sachets, making cleaning products, polish, dressing candles that sort of thing.
This one is my Crafting Apron I bought it cheap on Amazon and added the floral decoration to make it mine.
The flowers represent each Element and Spirit this apron is used when I make things that need painting or when I use clay. That way I do not get my clothes all messy and if it gets stained it will not matter. This picture was taken before I used it. To be fair this apron is large I had to alter it a bit to fit me when they say one size fits all they weren't joking as the ties went around below my hips.
This where I got the apron from Orange Apron
This is my Cooking Apron again I bought it from Amazon as it was cheaper to buy it than the material was. I added the cross stitch designs myself.
A simple cross stitch heart and wording stitched onto some lace edged Aida. I used cross stitch around the edges to sew it to the apron. I used Iron on Vilene to cover the back so the stitches are fixed.
The design on the pocket was taken from a Cross stitch magazine I used the colours I had rather than buy more thread. This time I frayed the Aida and used the Vilene to make sure the threads were neat on the back and took it right up to the frayed edges. To sew it to the pocket I used white thread and did a simple running stitch all the way around using the tiny squares on the Aida. I went around it twice leaving a decent gap between so it does not balloon.
This is where I got the apron from Green and White apron
So no matter what I do I am able to stay reasonably tidy and clean.
