the magick of coffee

enjoying your coffee, latte or mocha in the morning can be a small ritual of its own. coffee as a fruit, as well as what flavors and milks you choose to enjoy with it, all have magickal properties that can work well together.

coffee magick

the magickal properties of coffee include: grounding, peace of mind, overcoming negativity, and breaking curses. it is also commonly used as an offering to ancestors, spirits and deities. 

coffee can also be used for divination; it’s said that bubbles in your cup of black coffee are a sign of good luck (and extra luck if you can catch the bubbles with a spoon and eat them!). 

coffee and espresso are also a great way to fertilize your garden and charge your herbs with higher energy!

vanilla: promotes happiness, calmness and love

hazelnut: brings you spiritual

honey lavender latte ritual

a whole lot of magick swirls around in a honey lavender latte; when i drink one, it puts me in a headspace and heartspace very conducive for witchcraft. 

lavender holds strong properties of harmony, healing, protection and love. honey is an energy enhancer, and provides extra power to your psychic self. flower honey has additional properties of happiness; thyme honey brings courage; thistle honey brings health.

espresso is, of course, a magickal energizer, and offers grounding and stability.

different milks have different magickal properties: cow milk (comfort, protection), almond milk (good luck), soy milk (psychic awareness), rice milk (blessings, prosperity), coconut milk (purification, protection), cashew milk (money), oat milk (prosperity, wealth)

a quick little ritual you can do to enhance your spiritual energy and clairvoyance: stir your latte with a wooden stirrer or spoon clockwise. inhale the scent, and individually identify the scent of the lavender, honey and espresso. meditate on these scents for a moment, and visualize their energies entering your lungs and your bloodstream. drink it, and let it warm your core. may it help you with your witchcraft and begin your day with harmony, courage and love.

Lotion Love

I always put lotion on my hands after I get out of the shower and before I go to bed.

Something I’ve recently started doing, is giving myself affirmations as I rub it into my skin.

In the morning it’ll be something like, ‘Today will be great. I’m going to have a great day.’

At night it’ll be something like, ‘I am calm. I am relaxed. Tomorrow is a new day.’

I imagine my words sinking into my skin with the lotion, like they’re truly being internalized.

Obviously you can change the affirmation to whatever suits you, but this is just something I thought I should share 🙂

Mistletoe (Viscum album)

Bringing couples, and strangers together since ancient Greece, Mistletoe may be found in homes everywhere during the Yuletide season.  Bundled and hung in doorways with hopes of catching lovers, and unwitting strangers alike beneath their white berries, or tucked into wreaths and garland, Mistletoe has become a staple botanical during the Winter holidays.  Folk names include: All Heal, Birdlime, Devil’s Fuge, Donnerbesen, Thunderbesem, Witches Broom, and Golden Bough.

Mistletoe is an obligate hemiparasitic plant belonging to the family Santalaceae, and may be found in many parts of the world.  Using a root-like structure called haustorium to attach itself to a host, Mistletoe extracts it’s nutrients and water from larger plants like trees, and bushes.  European Mistletoe has long, ovular, leaves which grow in parallel pairs along the stem, and waxy, white berries ranging in clusters of two to six.  North American Mistletoe (Phoradendrun leucarpum) is similar, save for shorter, broader leaves, with its berries clustering in groups of ten or more.  Some species are poisonous, so use caution when selecting your desired botanical, making sure to read the identification card. 

Many Pagan cultures revered the Mistletoe, regarding its white berries as a symbol of masculine fertility, with the seeds resemblant of semen.  The botanical was used in Greece during the festival of Saturnalia, and at weddings for its correspondence with fertility.  Ancient Celts and Druids also used Mistletoe in rituals, and ceremonies such as the Ritual of Oak and Mistletoe, where it was cut from Oak trees using a golden sickle on Midsummer’s day.  Nordic mythology tells of Loki tricking Hodur into using an arrow fashioned from Mistletoe wood to murder Balder, with Mistletoe later becoming a symbol of peace and friendship.  Christianity saw its use in protection against Wytches and Daemons, and eventually became associated with the tradition we’ve come to know and adore, under which lovers are expected to share a kiss.  Today, Mistletoe continues to have Magickal correspondences with Protection, Love, Health, Fertility, and Hunting. 

Use Mistletoe traditionally by fashioning a bundle to hang in a doorway, or include it in your wreaths, garland, and centerpieces on tables, and mantles this season to welcome the rebirth of the Sun, of which Mistletoe is celestially aligned.  You may also wish to lay a few sprigs near bedroom doors to promote a restful sleep, or hang from headboards for sweat dreams. Offering protection from lightning, disease, and misfortune, set sprigs of Mistletoe around your space/home where appropriate (this, of course, can be done by incorporating it into your décor as previously stated, perhaps with a wreath hung on your entryway). Whatever your desired use of Mistletoe during the Sabbat of Yule, have fun, and I wish you all peace, and light. 

Brightest Blessings
