Kitchen Witch
Natural Remedies and Crafts for Home, Health, and Beauty
In 2016 my good friend Nadine and I made a zine called the Kytchyn Witche. Over the years she and I had bonded over our shared enthusiasm for making things and damning the man, and our zine was a collection of recipes for DIY skin care and household cleaners using natural ingredients, plus advice on how to grow, harvest, and use herbs in your projects. We had a lot of fun writing it, and it turned out to be the most popular zine I’ve ever made.
When Microcosm Publishing asked us to expand the zine into a full-length book, we were thrilled. We spent a couple years tinkering in our kitchens, reading lots of books, and interviewing the people who inspire us to be better stewards of the planet, including artists, gardeners, herbalists, and our own moms. The result is this beautiful hardcover book that is packed full of projects for the home, body, and mind. You don’t have to be a witch to enjoy it, but as I like to say — this is a book about natural living for the spiritually inclined.
If you’re looking to extricate yourself from reliance on the toxic consumer products that we have come to take for granted, this is the book for you. You’ll gain practical DIY skills, enjoy reading some fascinating witchy history and lore, and learn simple practices that will help you strengthen your connection to nature—and yourself.
