Must-Haves in Starting Out: Mindset

A good kitchen witch uses everyday ingredients they can find in almost any kitchen. It doesn’t matter if she wants to hex a neighbor or help a friend heal a broken heart. She can enter her kitchen, throw some ingredients together, and create a recipe that will help.

Ingredients aren’t the most important things that are needed, however.

The most important things you bring to your craft come from within.

Honesty

You can burn sage all day or stir dozens of potions to “purify” yourself and your surroundings. But if you’re not being honest with yourself about your intentions or about how change needs to happen so this intervention isn’t needed again, you’re wasting your time and the attention of the energies around you. At some point, the Mother or whatever entity you call to for guidance will not answer you call.

Set Realistic Goals

A good witch has specific goals she uses to nurture the branches and roots of her life. These goals can be anything from seeking immediate revenge on someone who made her mad, to curing cancer, to helping a friend through a rough patch in her life. Magick can help, but it does have its limitation. Realistic goals are important to have because it will encourage you to keep moving towards your destination, and to keep improving your skills without the brutality of disappointment.
