The Art of Cookery Spell
Tie up a bunch of these herbs: Basil, Savory, Mint and Dill; drench them in water drawn from the kitchen tap and sprinkle the kitchen counters, sills, stove, table, cupboards, canisters and everything else with drops of water from the stalks. Then crush the bouquet in both of your hand, breathe in the scent and whisper this spell:
Sweeten the oven
Sweeten the pot
Sweeten the cold
And sweeten the hot
Summon thy virtues
Into this place
To teach me patience
And skill and grace.
Make from the leaves a tea and drink it.
