Morning Coffee Magick

Did you know that coffee has magickal properties? According to my sources, it does! How fun is that? I say, let’s start the day with some magick, along with a really yummy cup of spiced coffee!

Magickal Properties of Coffee

• Provides peace of mind and grounding.
• Helps to dispel nightmares, negative thoughts, and overcome blockages and unhealthy emotions. It’s great for protection and getting rid of all kinds of nasties.
• Coffee is a stimulant and can be used to give spells, potions and charms an extra kick, or speed things up.
• Coffee grounds can be used in divination and read like tea leaves.
• It is considered excellent for curse breaking.
• It can be used as an offering to deities, entities, and ancestors.
• Some sources suggest it can be used for compulsion, and encouraging others to be more persuasive towards you. This is most effective when the coffee is served to the target.

Here’s a recipe for a cup of magickal morning brew.

Magickal Morning Coffee:

Ingredients:

• 3 pinches ground ginger
• 3 pinches cinnamon
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• your favorite ground coffee

Directions:

1. Add cinnamon to the ground coffee and say: “Cinnamon is for vision, money and love.”
2. Add the ginger and say: “Ginger is for strength when push comes to shove.”
3. Add the nutmeg and say: “Nutmeg is for vision, good fortune, and wealth.”
4. Kiss your fingers and hold them over the coffee and spices, visualizing your love flowing into the coffee, and say: “A kiss keeps you happy and glowing with health.”
5. Move your hand in a clockwise direction over the coffee spice mixture three times to blend the energies together, then proceed to brew the coffee in your usual manner.

Note: If you add sugar or cream to your coffee, know that sugar sweetens the experience, and cream smooths the way.

Medicinal Properties of Coffee

But wait, there’s more! Coffee has medicinal properties as well.

• Caffeine (in coffee) improves short-term alertness, attention, memory and may have long term protective benefits on cognitive decline as well.
• Many studies confirm that aspirin and other analgesics work faster and better on headaches, when combined with caffeine.
• Coffee consumption has been associated with long term weight loss, likely from the thermogenic effects of caffeine raising the metabolic rate.

On a side note: Nursing mothers who drink coffee might transfer the caffeine to their babies, giving them insomnia, in which case this may not be the best way to start the day.

Color Matters

Also, it does seem to matter what cup you put that coffee in. Research shows that hot beverages served in an orange cup or mug taste better than drinks served in say, for example, a white one. So… if you have an orange cup, drink your coffee in that. But if you don’t, that’s OK too. Just be on the look out at garage sales and thrift shops for cups and mugs that are orange. They don’t have to be orange on the inside, it’s the outside color that seems to matter. And if you find something really beautiful… well… that’s even better!
