BROOMSTRAW

“And didn’t she take a straw and check to see if the cake was done. Didn’t I see her do that? It’s witchcraft is what it is. How in all of nature can a broom straw predict if a cake is done.”

“There’s dough on the straw if the cake is not done. It’s a testing is all.”

“Science then and what’s worse… But I still think it witchcraft. The cake tasted of strawberries and honeycomb and it the middle of winter. And she divined it with a broom straw.”

Kitchen Prayer (Two)


.KITCHEN PRAYER

Let the hands that stir the brew
Be guided by you,
Let the leaf that steeps the tea,
Be blessed by you,
Let the broom sweep clean
And your guidance be seen,
May all that we do,
Keep us close to you,
Mothers, hear my words

May the bread rise
And the kettle boil,
May home be formed
By this earthly toil,
We can fashion,
We can form,
But the spark that keeps us warm
Came from the Kin,
Before we were born,
Ancestors, hear my words

From seed to plant,
From plant to plate,
With Spirits of the Land,
We co-operate,
As you’ve aided us,
So we honor you,
Earth Spirits, hear my words,

Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove,
Sprinkle all herein with love,
Not a word shall boil,
Not a threat shall bubble,
This blessed hearth
Repels all trouble,
Gods and Goddess,
Elder Kin,
Bless this kitchen
And all within.
