The Enchanted Kitchen:
An Online Course

Starts the week of March 8, 2026

Learn kitchen magic for
* prosperity
* protection
* peace
* confidence
* courage
* and almost anything else

These are quick, easy spells for life’s essentials and life’s joys. Lessons are quick and easy, too.

With this class, a complete beginner can be a powerful kitchen Witch.

Learn a style of hearth magic that fits into your day. Most of it can be done while cooking, cleaning, and doing other common activities. So you can do plenty of Witchcraft to manifest the life you want.

Use ordinary household objects, like spoons and culinary herbs, as mystical tools.

When busy, stressed, or ill, it’s hard to do any spell-casting. Learn sixty-second enchantments, manageable for anyone. These spells are easy and powerful.

And learn longer hearth rituals, for special occasions when you have time and desire.

Past life memories tell me that my kitchen magic is rooted in ancient Faerie Shamanism. When doing hearth magic, I experience the power that comes from those roots. It is a living enchantment that touches all of existence. Sexists try to convince us that kitchen magic is lightweight fluff—mere women’s silliness. But this course goes to the heart of magic and takes place at the hearth of the Fairy Gods.

I channeled the lessons for The Enchanted Kitchen course. Honestly, when I channel kitchen magic, it stuns me sometimes. I don’t mean that I’m ego-ridden, stunned by my ability to channel. I’m stunned by the utter power of kitchen magic as I know it. It is in this class’s lessons. So you can use them to make a real difference in the mundane realm. The Fairy Gods are our ancestors. They want us to have power. And They want us to have easy access to it.

This style of hearth Witchery is potent mystically, spiritually, and magically. And you can access these blessings easily.

The Fey Folk add beauty to the magic and reveal mystical secrets. Beginners and adepts gain huge improvements, inside and out. I have something unique in this class—channeled from past lives, channeled from otherworldly memories of my ancestors.

You receive:

1) Twenty lessons, one a week. Each lesson is a digital Book of Shadows entry (PDF), ornamented by my original Shamanic art, which blesses our work. The art will be crisp with clear details. Long story short, I can’t make my art as crisp and clear on this website.

Course material is spread over twenty lessons. This makes every lesson bite-sized. So it fits into your busy week.

You’ll learn a lot a lot a lot. But I tailored lessons to be manageable even for super-busy folks who have countless responsibilities and constant, unexpected commitments. I want you to have tools to overcome the challenges life throws at you.

2) Four audio recordings, from my Faerie hearth to your Fey heart. Hearing a spell’s words can be enchanting. Each recording is a quick audio snack: A recitation of a bit of that week’s PDF.

3) Personal mentoring. I’m available by phone for up to 45 minutes. If you have questions about the material, need support because your commitment to doing the lessons falters, want to explore a particularly tantalizing part of the curriculum more, or have other concerns, feel free to phone.

You can divide the 45 minutes into two or three conversations. Conversations must occur during the span of the course or within a month after.

You can also ask for support from fellow students:

4) An exclusive online hearth. This private page is where classmates can support each other, share victories, and ask each other questions.

This sacred discussion is just for students, without “teacher looking over your shoulder,” so you feel free to express yourself. E.g., I won’t check for “mistakes” in your magical viewpoints. You’re a grown-up, in your unique process, and if you feel you might be on the wrong track with something in the curriculum, you can ask me about it by phone or ask your fellow students. My students tend to give wise feedback.

I will however pop in regularly to check that no one’s being a meanie. You deserve a safe space.

5) A free bonus: A PDF Book of Shadows for optional journaling about the lessons. Every page has my Shamanic art and no text. You can type into the PDF or print the file to handwrite in.

6) A special gift: I commissioned fantasy artist Kathleen Marshall to paint a modern rendition of a traditional hearth blessing. You receive a digital file of the art for your kitchen, plus lore about the blessing.

It’s been five years since I’ve taught this. So now is the time.

My online courses aren’t my oral tradition or transcriptions of my oral tradition classes. The online courses are something special unto themselves—spectacularly useful and powerful.

I continue to teach oral tradition classes by phone. An oral tradition cannot be conveyed online.

I worked on curricula for online courses for years. It took time to channel magic tailored specifically to be exciting, effective, and safe when learned online. I was willing to spend years figuring out how to make this course worthy of you. So mote it be.

Fairy Witch, Francesca De Grandis, is the bestselling author of Be a Goddess!. She offers long-distance classes, psychic readings, healings, and other magical services. Francesca’s work has been a seminal influence on modern Paganism. She’s been jokingly referred to as “the most plagiarized Pagan.” For example, Shamanic theories, rituals, and poems she authored are considered anonymous traditional Witchcraft.

Ancestor Work:
Mom’s Holiday China

HlidyPttrnThe above plate is in the pattern with which my mom set holiday tables during my childhood. I forget our day-to-day pattern, but this one stuck in my mind.

As a child, I thought the dish pattern was tacky, but it remained a nice memory. Mom acquired complete settings for at least 10 people, obtaining the pieces one at a time by going to the movies. I love that Toni went to such lengths to add beauty to our home, not letting lack of income thwart her.

One of my brothers got the dish set when Toni died. I would not have used it.

But recently, I searched online until I found one dish in the pattern—just one in her memory and in reminiscence of her passion, amazing kitchen skills, and elegance—elegance I now see in this plate to some degree, and that showed immensely elsewhere.

Rest in peace, Toni. You were a model of exuberance, devotion, otherworldly flight, and competence both culinary and professional. You were also a true lady, in every positive way I use the word lady, including how the Goddess infused your spirit and your magic. Thank you for being a living example for all parts of my day, including my kitchen witchery.

… Later: The more I use the plate, the more beauty, elegance, and grace I find in it. I don’t know if that is objective. E.g., perhaps the grace I notice is a projection of my mother’s gracious maneuvering amidst the immense challenges of her life. She found reason to laugh and give, no matter what.

In any case, to snap the above photo, I had to wash the dish, since I’d eaten lunch from it. Handling the dish with soapy hands, I experienced more of its elegance, this time on a tactile level; the china felt so nicely made despite being a movie giveaway. I wonder if my mother loved handling it.
