Equipment

  • Cast Iron Cookware (clean and cleansed and ready to be seasoned)
  • Paper towels or lint-free rags
  • Candle

Spell Instructions

  • In a clean kitchen, adjust the oven racks so that one rack is on the lowest level and the other is one level above. Place a large cookie sheet on the lower rack.
  • Preheat the oven to 450˚F (235˚C).
  • Once the oven has gotten to temperature, light the candle, center, and begin the dedication.
  • Start by stating the intention of both the cookware and the spell oil as you prepare to use them: iron for protection; Hearth & Harmony Oil for health, happiness, love, and prosperity.
  • Using a paper towel or lint-free rag, rub a thin layer of Hearth & Harmony Spell Oil all over your cast iron piece including the inside, outside, and handle(s). As you do this, repeat the incantation below.
  • With a new paper towel or a clean rag, wipe off all the oil you just rubbed on. You want to buff it off to the point where it's difficult to tell that it's even there. Except for a slight sheen, it should look as if you never put oil on in the first place.
  • Place the pan face down on the upper rack of the preheated oven and let it bake for 30 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the pan and repeat steps 5-7 two or three more times. Remember: The pan is hot!
  • After you have repeated the cycle of oil, buff, and bake for a total of 3 or 4 times, the spell is complete! You've just formed a solid allyship between you and your now magically fortified cookware, and it's ready for use!

Notes

BLESSING THE FORGE: INCANTATION

Iron strong, protect this space,
With love and joy, your strength embrace.
Health and heart, abundance bright,
Shield my home both day and night.
By this oil, your magic flows
As above, so below.
