THE FOUR ELEMENTS
In addition to the Pagan gods and goddesses of the kitchen, the spirits of the four ancient elements are strongly connected to, and make their presence well known in, the Witch's kitchen.
The refrigerator is an appliance dedicated to air. Air is also linked to the steam given off by hot foods and boiling liquids.
Fire (the source of heat and symbol of transformation) dwells within stove and hearth.
Water rules over the kitchen sink as well as the liquids used in the preparation and cooking of foods and potions.
Vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs and spices, and even meats and poultry are all gifts from our blessed planetary Mother. These foods that nourish and sustain us are, of course, ruled by the earth element.
The elemental spirits of air, fire, water, and earth can be invoked at any time in the kitchen for protection, empowerment, magical aid, and so forth. It is through the use of these four basic elements that kitchen magic is created.
