Witchcraft: Daily Practice - Day 28

The Ritual Of Tea, Or Coffee

It is the making of a cup of tea every day ritual I want you to take a look at, or coffee if you prefer; in fact, whatever beverage you start your day with, or drink throughout the day. Your daily cuppa can become a spiritual point and a magical part of your routine. There are, in fact, whole ceremonies dedicated to tea in particular, and some of them can be quite beautiful and moving. But let us start with the basic idea of working some magic into your usual morning brew. Note: If the idea piques your interest, do some research into tea ceremonies throughout the world; a lot of different cultures have them.

Prompt:

•             Charge your teabag with magical intent before you add it to the cup; it might be just positive energy for a good day or something more specific, such as courage for a meeting.

•             The same can be done with your teaspoon of coffee granules, the hot water or the milk you add.

•             Hold your hand over your cup and charge it with your intent; this can be done with any beverage.

•             Experiment with different herbal teas, aligning them with your intent for the day

•             Try adding a pinch of spice to your tea or coffee to correspond with your intent, so you might add cinnamon for a successful day or just a spoonful of honey to make your day sweet.

•             Connect with the energy of the ingredients in your beverage and see if you can gain some magical insight from them.

•             With each sip of your drink, focus on positive energy and allow that to flow through your body.

•             If you use fresh coffee or tea leaves, you can tip them out into a saucer after you have drunk your drink and make your predictions for the day ahead.
