About this episode
Hello Witches In this episode I’m joined by the wonderful Laura May of The Ritual Kitchen . Together we step into the world of kitchen witchery, where magic is stirred into the everyday and ritual lives in the heart of the home. Laura shares her journey into kitchen witchery and the story of how she came to her craft, weaving together folklore, ritual, and seasonal wisdom. We talk about: ✨ Her beautiful set-up working from a narrowboat and how this shapes her practice ✨ The art of foraging and connecting to the land through food and herbs ✨ Kitchen rituals that ground, protect, and enchant daily life ✨ The magical staples she always keeps in her kitchen witch’s cupboard ✨ The role of folklore, story, and seasonal living in her work and offerings Whether you’re a seasoned witch or simply curious about bringing more magic into your home, this conversation will inspire you to see your kitchen as an altar, a cauldron, and a place of transformation.
