Opalina, The Kitchen Witch

A kitchen witch, sometimes called a cottage witch is a homemade poppet displayed in residential kitchens as a good luck charm and to ward off bad spirits.

History of Kitchen Witches- There is some debate over where the kitchen witch originated, some claiming Scandinavia and others Germany, but consensus points to older Northern European customs. The poppet is supposed to depict a "good” witch who inspires productivity and safety in a kitchen, but also counteracts any ill-will directed to the home. It is considered good luck to give a kitchen witch to a friend or family member. She has the power to keep roasts from burning, pots from boiling over, and sauces from spilling. 

Each kitchen witch is uniquely dressed. Outfit colors and patterns may vary. Comes with information card. Ships November 3rd.
