Answer 1

"The term 'Kitchen Witch' (sometimes called 'Cottage Witch') brings up many different images to people, but the most common idea is that of a Witch who practices her art mainly thru cooking and common household skills. Another image is that of one who uses common everyday items in her art, drawing up memories of the Burning Times, when it was necessary to hide your working tools from those who would persecute you for their possession. While both of these images are certainly true ones, Kitchen Witchery goes far beyond magical cooking or using ordinary items as magical tools. One Kitchen Witch, Mama Rose, defines Kitchen Witchery in the following way: 'My spirituality and my priestesshood and my magick are based around the concept that my home is my temple, all in it are consecrated and holy, and each action that I do is a portion of the ritual of my life.'"

Here are some articles on kitchen witchery that may help:

If you don't currently practice any form of witchcraft, then I would definately ask your aunt why she thinks you should.  If she put the idea in your head, then she is the one you need to ask these questions of.  

You don't need to get or do anything unless YOU decide to learn the practices of a kitchen witch - don't do it just because someone told you that you should.  Witches aren't commonly known for "recruiting" others to join the practice.  

If you are interested in this practice, pick up a book or two on the subject and start reading AND ask your aunt to start teaching you when she has the time.  But be aware that these skills require much study and practice to become adept at - which is why I say you should only choose to learn this if you have a sincere interest in doing so.

If you are under 18, then you need your parents/legal guardian's permission to have another adult teach you these practices, because it is not only unethical, but also illegal for an adult to interfere with the spiritual upbringing of a minor agains their parents' wishes.

Blessings on your journey.
