Tea Magick

Before saying anything else, we want to clarify that we know how to spell! Magick spelled with a “K” at the end is used when referring to ritual magic, as opposed to stage magic. It can be spelled without the “K” and hold the same meaning, but this difference in spelling is often used to delineate ritual magick within text. 
Now that we have said that, we can talk about tea! Different herbs and teas have been used throughout time in religious rituals, spellwork, meditation, and other routines. Different ingredients are thought to bring certain qualities or luck to the drinker. Ingredients may be associated with different seasons, elements (earth, air, fire, water), or with different ruling planets. Knowledge of these associations can help when selecting a tea with intention. Although there are innumerable combinations and magickal correlations, we are only going to lay out the ingredients and descriptions of the teas at Curiositea Wellness currently. 
​

Sweet Slumber
Chamomile- Used for insomnia, cleansing, and purification.

Moonbeam

Rose- Highest frequency flower. Ruled by water and venus. Brings harmony.
Cardamom- Ruled by venus and water. Aids in intimacy, love, and insight.  
White tea has often been used in conjunction with lunar magick. This appropriately named white tea blend may be the perfect addition to moon rituals, especially if you are reflecting on matters of the heart. Both rose and cardamom are ruled by the planet, Venus, named after the goddess of love. 

Cosmic Chai
Black tea- Used to bring courage, strength, and energy. 
Cinnamon- Both a fire and air element. Used for money, patience, and love.

Containing elements of fire, water, air, and earth, Cosmic Chai is a balancing motivator. The black pepper and black tea leaves are the initiators that help get you moving. The ginger and cinnamon keep you optimistic and patient, as any work worth doing will probably require both of those traits. The cardamom will let you revel in your success, while the cloves keep you grounded and protected.
