Cottage witchery is a style of natural magick that revolves around the hearth and home.
It is an uncomplicated Craft that is worked with down-to-earth supplies found around the house.
Examples include garden flowers, the trees in the backyard, and cooking herbs and spices from the kitchen cabinet.
This approach to magick is both practical and hands-on.
The idea behind cottage witchery is to persuade folks to look at their homes in a new magickal way.
It encourages them to reconnect with the energies of the natural world �?to appreciate, celebrate and then to direct these positive magickal forces into their homes and everyday lives.
What makes a magickal home? Intention.
It’s not about how much you spend, or how big of a place you call home, it’s what you do with what you have, and how you direct the elemental energies and magickal vibes that are naturally there.
Perhaps you’ll choose a paint color for a room with magickal intention, such as soft blue to create a calming atmosphere for a baby’s room or a sunny yellow for a home office to promote creativity and knowledge.
Perhaps you’ll perform an elemental spell to encourage prosperity, protection or happiness for your home. Again, it’s intention.
Because, when you purposefully “bump up�?the magickal atmosphere of your abode, and transform it into a sacred space with natural accessories, you are creating a magickal home.
What are your favorite magickal objects in your home and what significance do they hold?
My favorite objects would be the items from nature that are arranged and scattered around my home: a few worn sea shells and water-smoothed pebbles I found on a beach in Cape Cod, a fallen blue jay feather from the backyard and some magickal herbs and flowers from the gardens, arranged in an old canning jar.
Yes, these are simple items, but they are magickal things nonetheless. There is a big, old-cast iron cauldron on my brick hearth that I’m fond of (I rescued it from an antique shop). I found it rusted and sitting neglected in a corner.
A little steel wool, elbow grease, and black rust-proof paint and it’s an old item made new for magickal purposes.
The wood-burning stove not only helps us stay warm in the winter, it adds something extra to the ambience of our house.
Plus, the old picket-fence gate that hangs on my living room wall. You’ll have to read Cottage Witchery to get the whole story on that antique gate. I charmed it for protection and to “shut out�?negativity.
Working in a sacred space is a way of honoring your connection to deity and to the elements.
Taking the time to formally set up or to create a permanent sacred space in your home speaks of your will and intention.
