Bewitching Your Coffee
Tumblr media
I am 100% a coffee drinker. I love drinking it black, I love it in lattes and cappucini (yes, that's the actual plural of cappucino), and I especially love the experience of sharing coffee with another person. And, like everything that comes out of my kitchen, I like finding ways to make coffee more magical.
But even though coffee is a daily essential for a lot of us and has a long history in folk magic, people don't talk about it nearly as much as tea magic. I did some digging, and this post contains my research into the magic and lore of coffee and the things we like to add to coffee. I hope my fellow kitchen witches find this helpful!
Correspondences of Coffee and Common Coffee Add-ons
Coffee: Used for grounding and to anchor a spell in the physical world. Useful in spells for mental clarity and enhancing psychic senses. Used in several types of American folk magic as an offering for spirits. Author Starr Casas uses coffee for powerful cleansing and blockbusting in her Southern folk magic practice. Because of its association with energy and movement, coffee can be used to add strength to spells. I personally associate coffee with the Earth and Air elements and with the planet Uranus.
Milk has different correspondences based on whether you are using cow's milk or a plant-based milk.
Cow's Milk: Associated with nurturing, love, and abundance. In pagan Ireland, offering someone milk was an effective blessing. Milk and cream are said to be favorite offerings of fairies. I associate cow's milk with the Water element and the Moon.
Soy Milk: Soy may have been a sacred food crop in ancient China and is associated with blessings. During the Japanese festival Setsubun, soy beans are used to repel bad spirits and draw good fortune in a practice called mamemaki -- soy products can be used in spells for protection or good fortune. Use soy milk or other soy products in spells for success, good luck, and prosperity. I personally associate soy milk with the Earth element and with the planet Jupiter.
Almond Milk: Associated with prosperity, wealth, and success in business, as well as with increasing wisdom. Almond milk and other almond products are associated with the Air element and the planet Mercury.
Coconut Milk: Associated with purification, healing, and protection. In African American magic traditions, coconut can be used for peaceful home work and protection work, as well as ancestor offerings. Coconut is associated with the Water element and the moon.
Oatmilk: Associated with prosperity and money magic. Oats are associated with the Earth element and the planet Venus.
Sweeteners attract sweetness and good fortune. Different sweeteners have their own associations.
Sugar: Associated with love and lust. In Southern folk magic, sugar is sometimes used in money work. Sugar is associated with the Water element and the planet Venus.
Brown Sugar: Has the same associations as regular sugar, but works more slowly because it contains molasses.
Honey: Associated with home, family, love, and blessings. In Southern folk magic, honey is sometimes used in domination or control work, especially honeycomb. I personally associate honey with the Water element and with the planet Venus.
Maple Syrup: Associated with love, money, and long life. I personally associate maple with new life and transformation based on Robin Wall Kimmerer's writings about them in Braiding Sweetgrass. Associated with the Air element and the planet Jupiter.
Artificial Sweeteners (Splenda, xylitol, and other man-made sweeteners): There's very little written about the magical uses of these sweeteners, but I personally associate them with creativity, innovation, and new discoveries. I associate these sweeteners with the Air element and the planets Mercury and Uranus.
Caramel* is actually made from sugar, which is cooked over low heat until it caramelizes, or turns brown. Caramel has the same magical associations as sugar, but with a stronger connection to Fire energy and to transformation.
*Note: In the US, "caramel" is often made with corn syrup. For example, the caramel drizzle at Starbucks is basically 100% corn syrup, or at least was when I worked there a few years back. This isn't to say you can't work magically with corn syrup-based caramel, but the energy will be different. I don't have experience here because I have a corn allergy, so I'd love to hear if anyone has experience working with corn syrup in witchcraft!
Chocolate** is originally from Latin America and was an important ceremonial drink in Mayan culture. In Mexica (Aztec) culture, chocolate was used as currency and was said to be a gift from the gods. It was associated with the devil and with witchcraft when it was first brought to Spain by colonizers. Later, during the Renaissance, it was seen as a miracle cure for all kinds of medical conditions. Based on its history, chocolate can be used in magic for love, sex, energy, spirituality, magical abilities, and healing. I personally associate chocolate with the Fire element and with the Sun.
**Note: Scott Cunningham includes a note on "chocolate" in his book on magical herbs, but this is actually carob, Jacaranda procera. The cacao tree, which produces chocolate, is Theobroma cacao.
Cinnamon is associated with success, healing, adding power to spells, spirituality, wealth, and protection. Cinnamon is important in Christian folk magic because of its use in the Bible. In Southern folk magic, cinnamon is used for money, luck, and lust and is said to work very fast. It can also be used for blessings and protection spells. It is associated with the Fire element and the Sun.
Clove is probably most famous for its use in spells to stop gossip, but it is also used to drive away harmful spirits and to attract wealth. It is also sometimes used in love and sex magic and for successful business work. It is connected to the Fire element and the planet Jupiter.
Ginger adds power to spells and situations. It is used in spells for love, money, success, and healing, but it can be included in any spell to add power or make results happen faster. Ginger is associated with Fire and with the planet Mars.
Hazelnuts have long been used in Western European folk charms for luck and good fortune. It is said that eating hazelnuts makes you wise and can increase fertility. Hazel is also associated with protection and with granting wishes. It is connected to the Air element and the Sun.
Lavender is used in love spells, especially spells to attract a masculine partner. It also has a strong association with peacefulness and with calming emotions. It is sometimes used for protection and is said to both attract and banish spirits, depending on the source. Lavender has a long historic connection to the queer community. It is associated with Air and the planet Mercury.
Nutmeg is most famous as a good luck charm, but it is also used for healing, money, and success. In Southern folk magic, it is used mostly for money, success, and good luck. It is associated with Fire and with Jupiter.
Peppermint is commonly used in healing magic, but it can also be used for purification, attracting good spirits, divination, love, and money. In Southern folk magic, peppermint is used for hex breaking. It is associated with Fire and the planet Mercury.
Vanilla is strongly associated with love and comfort. It can sometimes be used in lust spells. Scott Cunningham mentions using vanilla to replenish lost energy. It is associated with the Water element and the planet Venus.
Magical Coffee Brews
With these ingredient correspondences, you can easily mix a spell into a coffee drink. For example, a pumpkin spice latte (which is made with pumpkin pie spice, i.e., a mix of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves) can be a spell for money and success. A lavender latte with oatmilk could be an excellent love spell, especially for queer love. A peppermint mocha (coffee with chocolate) could be a healing spell. There are lots of possibilities for a magic brew!

⛤Rose Spell to Attract Love⛤
The rose is a flower attributed with many magical powers. 
It is believed that Josephine, the great love of the military leader Napoleon Bonaparte, who had a luxurious rose garden, contributed to the popularization of roses. 
The rose has always been considered a mystical flower, both because of its appearance and because of its enticing fragrance. 
For this reason, it is believed that rituals with roses are the most powerful for love and marriage. 
There are lots of rose petal spells to attract love and make love wishes come true. 
For this rose petal spell, the material used must be new and unused. 
For the success of the ritual, it should be performed at the time of the new moon.
Take a white sheet of paper and draw a heart on it, then cut it out. The heart should not be too small or too big in size.
Take another white paper and write on it:
"In this heart is the light of a candle. At night it will attract my loved one.”
In the space where you perform the ritual, there should be rose petals and the scent of roses to enhance the magical effect.
Then light a red or pink candle with the scent of a rose and repeat the same words you wrote on the paper again:
"In this heart is the light of a candle. At night it will attract my loved one.”
Put the paper heart through the flame of a red or pink candle, and let it burn. During this process imagine love coming into your life and you accepting it.
Let the candle burn a little, then wrap the remaining wax in a paper heart and another paper on which you wrote the magic words. 
Then put everything together in a cabinet that only you use in the room and keep it.
Papers with candle wax should stand for 28 days. It is believed that the judge will appear unexpectedly at the end of the specified period.
This ritual, a rose petal spell, dates back centuries and is considered one of the most powerful for love.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
In the moonlit night, a witchy woman dances,
Her cloak swirling, mystic spells enhancing.
Eyes gleam with secrets, a potion's brew,
Whispers of magic, in shadows she strew.
Broomstick rides on the spectral breeze,
Casting enchantments with effortless ease.
Her laughter echoes through the ancient trees,
A sorceress dancing, as the night flees.

Simple Spell for Creativity
Tumblr media
My boyfriend is a journalist who has been trying to do more creative writing endeavors. So, with his permission, I set up a quick and fairly simple spell to help inspire creativity.
Ingredients and Supplies
Orange candle for creativity (white candles can be substituted)
Your choice of dressing oil (I used olive oil for this, but any special one that fits the bill can be used)
Powdered cinnamon
Coffee grounds
A sprinkling of lavender buds
Ace of Wands card (or any other sort of token that relates to creativity and inspiration)
Mint tea
How to
For starters, I prepared the tea. As I steeped the tea bag, I focused on my intent and my desire to inspire creativity to help my boyfriend with his endeavors.
Tumblr media
As the tea steeped, I dressed the candle with olive oil and a sprinkling of cinnamon powder before placing it on a tray. I surrounded it with coffee grounds and lavender buds. As I lit it, I said a simple little incantation of, "I call the power of the muses to me. Fill the place with creativity."
Tumblr media
Once that was in place, I set up the Ace of Wands card so that the candle light shone upon it.
Tumblr media
Happy casting, friends!

Pope of Enchiridion's Memory improvement Spell.
Tumblr media
I am Happy to annouce that the spellwork I have conceived had a very successful result in improving the memory of the recipient and rectify any problem with recalling stuff in term of short memory. I hope to present it here in an easily readable/digestable format from the grimoire and give it a body, to encourage more exploration and practice of these techniques. Prayer to Aid a Failing Memory: By the will of God + the Almighty, leave from out of here + and fall to the ground, + spirits of poor memory + whether visible + or invisible, + the + body of this creature N. As fell the precious blood of Jesus + crucified. By the passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. (This line is to be recited five times.)
Tumblr media
I hope that this is a bridge from grimoire to folk magic, from theurgy to practicalities and praying to breathing it into the manifest. Anyway let's get down to Business with the ingredients 1. A red pen/marker 2. A black marker 3. Paper 4. Dried/Fresh common sage 5. (Optional) a tea bag/earl grey tea 6.(Optional) Holy Oil
7.Flask (I mean where you gonna put it... lol)
8. Compass to draw
Once you got everything ready you will prepare by writing the prayer inside the circle drawn in paper and mark/draw the cross with red ink specifically. The last line of the passion of Christ you write in full RED, like this replacing the N with your name or the name of the person you want to improve their memory like your friend, brother, sister, partener, etc.
Tumblr media
After that you will put your flask/french press or whatever on top of the paper, and after pouring the hot water you will make the sign of the cross(you're the priest blessing this body of water) so top to down then lef to right. You can say it once, three, or nine times, the important thing is that you sign and direct the prayer AT THE FLASK/CONTAINER. You can add the extra layer where you bless the person if you're able with the holy oil or just your finger and do the cross on their forehead and toward their general body. After that you can enjoy the tea with your recipient or yourself and try to remember some old memory, something you did this past week, and just stretch the memory a bit. My personal experience with this spellwork is that the results are gradual and suddenly the person find themselves through few days getting more and more grasp on their memory...So it is a success! The translation/this prayer is taken from Tarl Warwick 's translation of pope leo if you're wondering.
Go out there and do it! if you're wondering why I choose sage it's because in Nicholas Culpeper's herbalism classic book: Sage is of excellent use to help the memory, warming and quickening the senses;

Merry Hexmas: The Gingerbread Man
It occurred to me that gingerbread men are the perfect poppets so here is a simple way to use them in order to curse someone during the winter holidays.
First, prepare gingerbread according to your usual methods. Before rolling out the dough, separate a small amount that will become your gingerbread poppet. If you have a taglock, mix it in. If not, simply carve the initials of your target into the gingerbread poppet. Bake as usual, then cool. Decorate the poppet to resemble your target, adding bitter, spicy, unpleasant elements. Think course salt, chili flakes, lemon juice, vinegar, etc.
Then all you need to do is break its limbs off one by one or, depending on the desired level of malice, crumble entirely, soak in water, remove the head, toss it back in the oven and burn it- whatever your grinchy little heart desires.
