Kitchen Witch tips

A quartz crystal placed on or near the stove when cooking makes food taste better
A pot of basil herb grown in your kitchen keeps the area safe from evil forces and negative spirits
Candles keep their shape better and longer when chilled thoroughly in the refrigerator
A witch’s kitchen should never be without a lunar calendar or chart showing the phases of the moon and it’s movement through the wheel of the zodiac
A full moon increases extrasensory perception and is the ideal time to prepare and use potions that increase the psychic abilities
Love philters and aphrodisiacs should always be prepared during the waxing of the moon.
The best time to plant an herb or vegetable garden is when the moon is in Cancer, Scorpio, Libra or Pisces
Homemade incense always should be stored in tightly capped or corked jars
Homemade magical incenses, sachets and potpourris become more fragrant if aged several months before used.
Unlucky influences should be kept away from when cooking or preparing magical recipes, and this is accomplished by stirring in a clockwise direction.
An aloe Vera plant should be kept in the kitchen, as its juices are an instant cure for minor kitchen burns
Herbal preparations should never be boiled in aluminum vessels, but only in copper, earthenware or Pyrex to avoid contamination of the medicines
