Kitchen

To look at the symbolism of kitchen, we must first know the symbolism of house.  The house is a symbol of yourself - your self-image.  The rooms are your emotions, attitudes, complexes.  Okay, accepting that, we can explore what connections the kitchen proper would have in the psyche.  The kitchen is often the central gathering place in a home.  It's often called "the heart of the house".  The kitchen is where we go when we need to be fed and to perform the tasks associated with nourishment.   In the kitchen, you take a little of this and a little of that, combine them, and create something new.  Families and friends gather most often in the kitchen, and friends are often invited to use the kitchen door, as opposed to coming in through the main entrance.   Kitchens are places of warmth, sustenance, and communion.
