The cottage witch typically possesses a wide range of magical domestic skills. Crafty and resourceful, she expertly transforms scraps of fabric into spell poppets and knows her way around kitchen witchery. To be a hereditary witch, you of course need to have ancestors who were witches. Most of us don’t know definitely if we do have witches in our ancestral lines since witchcraft has been a well-kept secret during history and is 99% undocumented, but we can do a bit of research (depending on the region of our ancestors, lifestyle, etc.) as well as divination (with the pendulum, tarot, etc.) to figure out if it’s possible to be a hereditary witch. The term hedge witch is incredibly popular right now. The hedge witch is pictured as the solitary shaman working alone at the edge of the forest. However, hedge witchcraft is an eclectic practice with so many elements.
My path to Hearthcraft was a reluctant one, at first. In my early twenties I started to identify as a Witch but wasn’t quite sure what type of Witch I was yet, as this takes time and experimentation to discover. I never would have thought at the time that being a Hearth Witch would appeal to me, as I wasn’t the most domestic person, nor did it sound very exciting!
It absolutely doesn’t matter your gender, your religion, whether you consider yourself Pagan, or if you follow the sabbats.
Just like musical witches live for music, art witches can’t go anywhere without their ART. They eat, breathe and LIVE art. Art witches cast their magic while they make art. They use a paintbrush as a wand, paints and mixed media as their magical tools, and canvases as the vehicle that carries their intentions into the universe. 16. Divination WitchUse statuary with meaning to your practice. Include hand-blended anointing oils and homemade candles. Daily or weekly meditation will be helpful in your work as a hedge witch. Dreamwork is also important; when you’re starting out, keep a dream journal and work with your subconscious during sleep.
Essentially, Hearth Witchcraft is a daily, living mindfulness practice to transform the mundane into the magical. As the name suggests, a kitchen witch focuses on the kitchen! They incorporate magic into cooking and baking, and they might choose herbs for their magical properties just as much as for their taste. Kitchen witches might prepare meals for specific holidays, purposes, or rituals to share with their community or coven. Hearth Witch I was resistant though, as I had trouble letting go of my spite for the witch label. But researching the label lead to me to the realisation that my Domestic Paganism was nothing more or less than Witchcraft. Sure it might also be Paganism, but it was most definitely Witchcraft no matter how I tried to avoid the word. I also realised how stupid I was being, I knew that witchcraft and Wicca were not the same thing, and the Wiccanate Witchcraft annoyed many other Pagans as well, so the grudge I was holding was just a wilful hindrance. In centuries past, the various spells of hedge witches included healing plants, determining what action it needed to take for certain ailments, divination, scrying, weather forecasting and cursing your neighbors crops at harvest times!
