Send a textEpisode 06: Sacred Spaces: Enchanting your HomeSummary: In this episode, Kristal and Kate discuss the home as sacred, magical space and your spiritual headquarters. They discuss the role of the kitchen in hearthcraft and share their experiences with their homes. Kate introduces Feng Shui as a tool for hearthcraft.Show NotesIntro & Invocation (0:00-1:32)Every home has a hearthspace and a spirit. The first step is connecting with the spirit of your home to build a relationship. Kate shares her experience of moving from one home to another recently.  (1:33-10:27)Hearthcraft is different from kitchen witchery, even though the hearth is often centered in a kitchen and Kate is drawn to homemaking and homekeeping. Kristal, on the other hand, loves kitchen witchery. Historically, the kitchen was the center of the home and it still is today. The cauldron is associated with the imagery of the kitchen and hearthcraft. And there’s a great deal of intentionality in food prep, tool maintenance and the animism of even modern appliances. When you’re caring for your tools, you’re caring for your hearth. (10:28-22:20)Feng Shui can be a powerful tool in hearthcraft and Kate recently took a class in it. Feng Shui is based on a 9-square overlay to your floorplan called the Bagua Map and you can intentionally use those home regions to influence corresponding areas of your life.  (22:21-28:40)Clearing and cleansing and purifying your home is a great way to bless and connect with your home. Homes can also have household spirits and deities in addition to the overall spirit of the home. Kate works with Hestia and a domovoy and Kristal works predominantly with her ancestors. Things outside the house can also support your connection with your home, such as statuary or trees. They become allies in your work.
