Magical House Keeping - Kitchen Cleaning

I had a friend ask me the other day why I chanted while I house clean. It was kind of funny because a couple years ago I would have had the same question if I saw someone chanting while they scrubbed the floor or cupboards. So I thought I would explain - and share some of the chants/blessings that I use when I am cleaning my home. 


I think that what it boils down to for me is that I want to make sure that I have the most positive energy possible in my home. When I take the time to cleanse, clean and bless my home I am moving negative energy out of my home and drawing positive energy in. Now people say well can't you just do a general house cleansing and blessings and I say off course you can. This is just a personal choice that helps me to find balance and peace in my home. 


I currently have a relative living with me. He is a great guy but the truth is that he is in a stressful situation right now and when he comes home from work you can often feel the negative energy hovering around him. The first thing that he does is make himself something to eat. It only takes him a few minutes to settle down and let go of that negative energy but where do you think it goes?  So that energy that he brings in gets immediately dumped into my kitchen. Believe me that is not the kind of energy that I want to have filling up my not so big kitchen. So when I clean I also cleanse the energy of my kitchen. Sometimes it is simply singing which moves the energy. Sometime it is actually chanting something specific. Sometimes it is speaking a blessing. Sometimes you might even catch me dancing around the kitchen. What do all of these things have in common? They raise and move energy.


I also have blessings for my appliances. Why? Well think about it. All of our appliances use energy - they heat our food, cool our food, chop, whirl etc etc. What better way of getting positive energy into our food than blessing those appliances, the energy that they use and that they give off. I can't see that it would be a negative things at all.


 I am not saying I use them every time I wipe down an appliance or clean my counters but when I do a good cleaning I love the energy that flows from a cleansed and blessed kitchen (or bathroom or livingroom or any room for that matter!) That said I will share some of the chants and blessings that I use when cleaning. Some are serious but most have some element of fun. I hope you enjoy them. 


Feel free to use them if you like but please don't post them elsewhere without asking - as they are my original writing.

 a chant to use while cleaning your counters.

Meals for my family and meals for my mate

On your clean surfaces I will create

Whether cooking or crafting or mixing a brew

You lend your aid to whatever I do

So cleaning you now is the task I employ

To help fill this kitchen with magick and joy

A Blessing for Cupboards and Drawers

Behind you are hidden the tools of my craft

From garden and forest and even from Kraft

Blessings in boxes and jars on your shelves

Things to bring healing and health to ourselves

So blessings upon you my cupboards and drawers

And thanks for protecting what’s hid by your doors.

Fridge Blessing

On the cold depths of freezer and fridge

I place this blessing to help cross the bridge

From mundane to magick your aid I request

That all who eat from you will be pleasantly blessed

So guardian of condiment, veggie, fruit and meat

Blessed are you that holds what we eat

Stove/Oven Blessing

Source of heat to cook our food

With the power of fire our meal’s imbued

Blessings upon you the source of the heat

That cooks all my veggies, my grains and my meat

Magick you bring on whatever I brew

Blessings upon you for all that you do

Microwave Blessing

Fast and quick you reheat our food

Whether boiled or brewed or even if stewed

You light the fire and you bring relief

Because you make reheating so incredibly brief

Bless us with magick upon the mundane

As you are a link in my strong kitchen chain

Coffee Maker

Maker of the bitter drink

I would rather toss down the sink

Send your blessings to my guy

Cause without his coffee he would cry

Bless this house with the morning scent

A magick moment joyfully spent

Food Processor

Whirling, spinning, chopping, ground

The uses of the processer sound

Saving fingers as food flows

You take the burden of chopping woes

Continued blessings we ask of you

Add your magick through and through

Blender Blessing

Spinning magick, swirling food

With the power of four imbued

So beat and whip and mix and blend

Bless with magick as your path you wend

Blender magick as you whirl

Let sweet magic around us swirl

Toaster Oven

A place for toast or pop tarts sweet

You cook all things from bread to meat

You warm and brown, you broil and bake

Adding warmth to all I make

Bless the house with your toasty heat

Bless all in this kitchen who would pause to eat

Slow Cooker

When life is all crazy, just hurry and rush

When the running around leaves me all in a flush

You pour out the blessings of food cooked on time

To simply sit down to a meal is divine

No hurry, no rushing a blessing indeed

Thank you dear crock pot for from cooking I’m freed
