Are you looking for an easy ritual to start your day on the right foot? Are you wondering how to bring magic into your daily life without disrupting your already busy schedule? What if you took advantage of your coffee or tea breaks to set a magical intention? We will explain how to enchant a drink and add a touch of magic to the most ordinary beverages.
Unlike what non-initiates might imagine, the magic potions of modern witches are not necessarily complicated recipes made from rare ingredients… All sorts of drinks can be spiced up with a touch of magic simply by associating them with an intention.
To enchant a drink, it is unnecessary to prepare an extraordinary cocktail. You can perform this ritual with your everyday beverages. A cup of espresso, a bowl of hot chocolate, or a mug of tea will do just fine. And if you prefer fruit juices, smoothies, iced tea, or iced lattes, note that magic also works with cold drinks.
Moreover, this little ritual will be even more effective if you repeat it every day, which is why it’s beneficial to apply an enchantment to the drinks you regularly consume.
Through this article, you will discover that white magic is much less complicated than you think. It allows you to reconnect with nature, the seasons, and the present moment through simple little rituals that can be practiced in daily life.
The enchantment of a drink occurs at the moment of tasting. This ritual is very easy since you do not have to change the way you prepare your coffee, your favorite tea, or any other beverage.
Once your drink is ready to be tasted:
• dip a spoon into the drink.
• stir three times clockwise while formulating an intention either mentally or out loud.
• focus on the present moment, for example, on the aromas of your beverage or on the patterns the spoon creates in the liquid.
• taste your drink mindfully, concentrating on its flavor but also on the benefits you expect from it (a boost of energy, a stimulating or relaxing effect…).
Note: as often in rituals, the magic lies mainly in your intention. So, choose carefully the words that make up your magic formula!
To enchant a drink, you can particularly draw inspiration from the following formula:
This elixir is enchanted, may it bring me energy / peace / inspiration, etc.
So be it.
As you can see, enchanting a drink before consuming it is a ritual accessible to everyone. But, of course, your drinks will be even more magical if you take special care in selecting the ingredients that make them up.
I recommend using, whenever possible, organic and fair trade ingredients that have been produced with respect for nature and people. For fruit and vegetable-based drinks, prioritize fresh and seasonal products.
Note: if your practice of white magic is accompanied by a commitment to animal welfare, you can naturally replace cow's milk with a plant-based alternative such as almond or oat milk.
For herbal infusions, it is important to use medicinal plants of the highest quality, picked and dried by yourself or purchased from a trusted herbalist.
When you want to enhance the magical power of a potion, for healing purposes, for example, you can also seal the enchantment by tracing a pentagram above the cup or glass. The pentagram is a powerful magical symbol. It is a 5-pointed star that symbolizes both protection and the five elements.
Knowing how to enchant a drink is a great way to add some magic to your daily life. Around the world, enjoying beverages marks the rhythm of the day from the moment you get out of bed.
In fact, breakfast may be the best time to set an intention that will color your day with a particular hue. Whether you prefer coffee, tea, or orange juice, don't hesitate to associate an enchantment with your favorite drink! Your entire day could be transformed…
Of course, nothing stops you from practicing this ritual at other times, for example during your lunch break to recharge before going back to work, or at the end of the day, to prepare for a peaceful night’s sleep while sipping a soothing herbal tea.
To conclude this short tutorial, I want to emphasize that this method for enchanting a drink applies to the beverages you will consume yourself for two reasons.
On one hand, it is not ethical to use this type of enchantment on drinks you serve to others without informing them.
On the other hand, this magic related to intention and mindfulness does not work if practiced without the knowledge of the person drinking the enchanted beverage.
