kitchen witch

Stove-area good-luck doll

A kitchen witch is a small decorative doll or figure, traditionally depicting a witch on a broomstick, hung in kitchens for good luck and to ward off bad spirits or cooking mishaps.

The practice comes from Scandinavian and German folk traditions.

More broadly, a kitchen witch is someone who practices domestic or hearth-centered magic, incorporating everyday cooking and household tasks into spiritual practice: She considers herself a kitchen witch, infusing her meals with intention.
