Witchin’ in the kitchen: Deciphering the magic of food

Lady Passion descends the stairs in a long black dress and green-tinted spectacles. Crystals and pendants hang from her neck, and she holds a cigarette — lit, apparently, the moment I knocked on the door. I suspect the cigarette is for effect (eventually, it goes out in her hand, and she doesn't seem to notice). Contrived though it may be, the effect is convincing: Lady Passion is the witchiest witch I have ever met.

The trappings of stereotypical witchery find their place within her house: a multiplicity of tiny jars and vials (some simply labeled “potion”), skull decorations, crystals and gemstones, cauldrons, broomsticks, several crystal balls and a chalice. She describes the décor as “witchy.” I ask her if she minds that these same objects double as kitschy Halloween decorations for non-witches. Not at all, she replies. She's proud of the witchiness.
