Product Description

Product Description

This title includes around 100 spells and recipes - many revealed for the first time - for eating, drinking and making your life merrier, along with plenty of practical advice on witchy subjects such as potions to improve your looks without ruining your bank balance! Traditionally much of the work of the witch took place around the hearth, where herbs, plants and other ingredients were specially blended to create medicines to mend the body and heal the spirit, and foods and wines were created to celebrate the festivals of the Wheel of the Year. Today's hearth is the kitchen, and for many witches it is the work-centre where they make the recipes and other "tools" of their trade. The book includes: oils, lotions and ointments, for magical and healing purposes; soaps and bathing distillations, to prepare for magical undertakings; brews and teas, using herb lore to heal the body and mind; soups, stews and other foods to sustain the sick and aid healing; candles and incenses, for use in rituals and magic; cakes, biscuits and breads, to honour the goddess and the god; sabbat foods and wines to celebrate the Wheel of the Year; and ideas for sachets of herbs to be given to those seeking protection, healing, and confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the basics covered!, 20 Jan 2002
By J. KELLY "Legz" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the best witchcraft book I own, and I have quite a few, it covers all the basics from simple spells to beliefs and celebrations. It gives plenty of new ideas for the seasoned witch, is simple to understand for anyone new to the craft and really is a perfect book, especially for those who also love to do more normal crafts like candle making, cooking or soap making, as it gives a witchy twist to everyday things. I cannot recommend this book enough, either for a first book or as an addition to a personal library. I wish this book had been around when I first became interested in the craft. It isn't wiccan, but it does follow the wiccan rede( harm none) It covers pagan holidays and gives everything you need to know, including ideas for food and ways to celebrate. Really brilliant!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Real witches kitchen?, 6 May 2004
By Clare "Bookaholic" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This book aims to give 'practical advice on ways of enriching and expanding your Craft experience' and includes recipes for oils, lotions, soaps, herbal remedies and ointments for healing, magical and beauty purposes; food and drink to celebrate the sabbats and instructions for making your own incense and candles.

To start with, the layout of Real Witches' Kitchen is very much like your ordinary cook book, with recipes organised under several common-sense headings, making the book itself very easy to use as a reference text. Each section is started with a little blurb explaining the chapter and its contents in terms of magic and Craftwork as well as giving some helpful tips and pointers for your own experimentations. Practical directions for use, for example how to use oils to anoint candles, are also included in the relevant sections, making the information given applicable to those with little or no Craft experience.

Kate West writes in a casual and easy to follow style somewhat reminiscent of the American writer Silver RavenWolf. Her simple instructions are littered with personal anecdotes, which gives the book a friendly feel which some readers may appreciate.

The first chapter gives some information on Witchcraft itself, which allows this book to be used comfortably by those who are not practising witches. This gives the book a more 'novice' feel, and the general tone is very simple and basic. The amount of specific information given however is beyond that which is normally found in 'beginners guides'. The book manages to avoid the common 'spells on a plate' feel by providing the information to make your tools without accompanying them with strict instructions for their use, and providing useful information for making your own concoctions.

The chapters concerned with the Wheel of the Year do not go into too much depth about the festivals themselves, although brief histories are given. The main focus here is on how to celebrate them, with a list of recipes for a whole meal including drinks and a page of ideas for 'making merry'. This is obviously aimed at people new to the Craft who are unsure about how to go about observing their newly adopted festivals.

The book is entirely non-specific when it comes to talking about religion- which it hardly mentions throughout- making it applicable to anyone interested in kitchen witchery. It contains a large amount of information covering many popular crafty topics, and would be useful for anyone starting to experiment with making their own tools and remedies.

In summary, Real Witches' Kitchen is an easy-to-read book in a pleasant enough style which contains a large amount of practical Craft ideas. It is a good beginners guide to kitchen witchcraft but perhaps lacks depth for those who already know the basics.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book but a touch condescending, 24 Jun 2002
This is a great book for a beginner and has some good ideas for the more experienced Witch/Pagan.
Although looking at it from the point of view of someone who has many years Craft experience it is a touch condescending.
In places it is a fantastic reference and in others it seems a little school maam ish.

However I would recommend this book to any one, the recipes for feast days and incense mixtures are great, it has sections on health and beauty the kitchen witch way and some really fantastic information on all manner of things.

A very worthwhile book to own and extremely difficult to put down once you have started reading it.

I think the only problem I have is alot of the Oil mixes contain some of the MOST expensive oils, they are also very hard to get ahold of. Other than that the book is very good.
