I dabble a little in kitchen witchery and have been considering a small kitchen altar to use while I work in the kitchen. I’m curious if anyone has created one or have any ideas or suggestions for one?

Oh WOW 
I love this idea!!!
Growing herbs in the North… wooden spoon wand and chopping knife bolline/athame… Cauldrons! Yummy home-cooking incense… lots of spices, vanilla, cloves
Oh man, I’d put my coffee machine in the West 
I can’t wait to have my own kitchen again one day

Thank you @Francisco! I need to get bottles or jars for my spices and herbs. They came in baggies.

Ohhhh a small kitcher altar sounds like a lovely idea, @Brenda10! I’ve only used small temporary displays for rituals when cooking, but I’m sure to keep my spices lined up neatly and maintain a windowsill kitchen herb garden 
My kitchen apothecary goal is @roxanne’s gorgeous spice cabinet that she shared in How do your store your herbs?. I would love a kitchen apothecary like that someday
