Tea is an excellent way to incorporate green witchcraft and herbal magick into your daily life. here is a list of the magickal properties of different teas.
☾ black teas
Feminine * Earth * Winter * Strength * Stability * Death * Expelling Negativity * Alertness * Energy
Black tea is the most fermented and oxidised of all teas. Its tea leaves look shrivelled and black. It combats heart ailments, digestive problems, high cholesterol, asthma, and breast/menstrual problems.
The teas of winter. known to bring excitement, courage, and financial fortune.
♱ english breakfast: warmth, happiness, and courage
♱ irish breakfast tea: energy, strength, and willpower
♱ earl grey: the best tea for attracting money and fortune
♱ chai: love, prosperity, happiness, and healing
☾ white teas
Masculine * Air * Spring * Happiness * Wisdom * Moon * Purification * Protection * Clarity * Cleansing * Beginnings
White tea is a little harder to find. Either the tea leaves are plucked as immature leaves and steamed, or the leaves have not been processed (there seems to be little consensus across cultures). Some have a small amount of caffeine. It’s a great antibacterial and antioxidant, and it improves the heart, oral health, and skin. Drinking a couple cups works better than one, and you can reuse the tea leaves, granted that the second cup will brew longer.
The teas of spring, and the sun. known to heal and cleanse the drinker, as well as enhance spiritual communication and psychic energy.
♱ silver needle: purification, cleansing and healing
♱ white peony: protection against mischief and ill will
☾ green teas
Masculine * Fire * Summer * Passion * Healing * Conscious Mind * Sexual Health * Love * Energy * Progress * Magic
Green tea is slightly steamed but not fermented, which maintains its green color. It has many health benefits, such as detoxifying, reducing cholesterol and weight, boosting immunity and stamina, and reducing blood glucose. It has less caffeine than black, but still some.
The teas of summer. known for its powers of health, longevity, love and passion.
♱ sencha: prosperity, physical healing, mental strength
♱ matcha: love, passion and lust
♱ hojicha: banishing negativity, self-love, and health
♱ jasmine: spiritual love, energy charging
☾ oolong teas
Feminine * Water * Autumn * Reflection * Meditation * Wisdom * Serenity * Concentration * Romance * Friendship
I always describe Oolong as being between Green and Blacks, since it is half fermented. It can help manage weight and stress, balance blog sugar levels, remove free radicals, and promote healthy skin and bones. HOWEVER, too much can actually speed up bone degradation because it sweeps away excess calcium. And beware of its high caffeine content.
The teas of autumn. known to inspire love, serenity, reflection, and balance.
♱ iron goddess: clarity of mind and heart
♱ osmanthus: transformation, harmony and serenity
☾ herbal teas
Magical properties depend on which herbs are used This tea seems to be the most popular for witches, because it is composed of dry, unprocessed herbs, seeds, fruits, or roots, and has no caffeine (as long as the herb doesn’t!). There are many recipes online as herbals are easy to make. In general, herbal tea promotes calm, can reduce cholesterol and risk of heart conditions, cancers, and diabetes. Due to its lack of actual tea leaves it has less antioxidants than other teas. Some don’t even call it a tea, but dub it Herbal Infusion.
