  The Hearth as Temple When we think of temples, we often imagine grand stone walls or distant holy places. But for the hearth witch, the temple is not somewhere far away — it’s here, within the walls of our own home. The hearth is both literal and symbolic: a place of warmth, nourishment, and protection. To honor it as sacred is to weave magic into the heart of daily life. Why the Hearth Matters Our ancestors knew the hearth was more than just a fire for cooking. It was the center of family, story, and survival. The fire kept away the cold. The food gave strength. The flame was seen as a living spirit to be tended with care. Even if we no longer cook over open flames, the spirit of the hearth still lives in our kitchens, dining tables, or even the humble glow of a single candle. Tending the Hearth Flame Every hearth witch has her own way of honoring this space. For some, it’s as simple as lighting a candle each morning and whispering gratitude. For others, it’s keeping t...

  The Path of the Green Witch The path of the Green Witch is rooted in the rhythms of the Earth — plants, seasons, herbs, and the sacred cycles of growth and decay.

At Samhain, when the nights grow long and the harvest is gathered in, simple, hearty food takes center stage. Colcannon is one of those dishes — mashed potatoes blended with cabbage or kale, creamy, buttery, and warming to the soul. In Ireland, colcannon wasn’t just food. It was a dish of fortune-telling and ritual . Tokens were sometimes hidden inside, much like barmbrack, and whoever found them was given a glimpse of the year to come. It is a meal that ties us to hearth, home, and the land beneath our feet.
