Herbal Tea Magic for the Modern Witch: A Practical Guide to Healing Herbs, Tea Leaf Reading, and Botanical Spells (Books for Modern Witches)

Product Information

The traditional witch has a base in very old magic, often known as the “Old Religion,” especially in Italy. These witches do a lot of research and take a historical approach to their magical practice.

There are so many types of witches that I couldn’t possibly include them all here! These are the 23 types of witchcraft that I’m very familiar with; they’re generally the most common types as well. This is a fantastic way to channel your magic energies and bring calmness to your day and peace and focus on your thoughts.

You would benefit from charging your tools in the sunlight (instead of the moon) and performing magic at sunrise or sunset, when the power of the sun is transformative. Spells that deal with new beginnings will be better to cast at sunrise, while banishing spells will have more power during sunset. You’ve spent all this time putting a special tea offering together for your god or goddess. Should you drink it, too? I find that drinking the tea at the same time of offering it to your god or goddess can be incredibly enlightening. It’s like you’re having a tea party with your god or goddess! Keep your god or goddess’ tea offering separate from your own cup, of course. And leave the tea offering out for your deity for at least a few hours, if not 24 hours total. Pour on the ground or down the drain when done.Remember, this spell probably won’t help you win the lottery, but it should help you fix your cash flow. Cinnamon is one of the most potent herbs and is often used for prosperity spells. You can also use it as an offering if you like. Practice Makes Perfect Unbeknownst to either of them, a leaf from a wild tea bush fell into the boiling water, and Shennong drank the concoction. Upon doing so, he was amazed at how refreshed he felt after consuming the liquid. After that, he would regularly add tea leaves to boiling water. Also known as Grandmother Heart, this Japanese goddess of the stove was important to tea because she heats the water that allowed the tea to be brewed.

That’s not exactly my favorite myth, but hey! I enjoy tea, so I guess I can’t complain! Tea Deities Inari OkamiA common symbol associated with green witches is a pentagram surrounded by five leaves rather than five points, representing the elements more closely related to nature’s balance. The swamp witch uses the healing elements of nature around them (especially mud) and develops their own strong magic through the intense emotions they feel surrounding society and expectations. Most witches (nowadays, at least) identify as eclectic. That means that they practice at least a few different kinds of magic. I am an eclectic witch - I've been practicing since 1974. As a student of the occult, working with astrology, tarot cards, runes, and numerology, I found that this was a very comprehensive and well written text on working with Hekate during the full moon. Highly recommended. - Gail Sager For extremely powerful magical spots, look for areas where mushrooms have sprouted (in a circle) or places that just feel magical. Faeries love nature, so you may want to incorporate woodland elements into your craft.

Tea For Vitality and Long-life The cottage witch is also known as the home witch, and despite the well-known aesthetic, you can be a cottage witch in any kind of home (not just an idyllic English countryside cottage). The foundation of the cottage witch is that magic is practiced in the home and about the home. If you’re an eclectic witch, you don’t have any one set religion or tradition that you must adhere to. Instead, you pull from many different practices. Folk magic isn’t very common because most of us don’t have ancestors who engaged in witchcraft directly. However, keep in mind that you can practice folk magic with your younger relatives! 8. Cosmic Witch For that reason alone, you can identify with as many types as you’d like!

These fruit teas and herbal teas can be blended by you for every magical purpose you can desire. Tea Leaf Reading The tea magic here is the same as with most, except that here you have put a lot of Wiccan energy into making a tea which already has a powerful meaning and the scents send magic into the air as it brews. When you have finished place the cup on the saucer upside down and turn 3 times. This disconnects your spirit from the reading.
