There are two types of people, coffee people and tea people. I\u2019m a coffee person. I occasionally dabble in tea, frequently when I\u2019m under the weather. Sometimes I\u2019ll even go through a tea \u201cphase\u201d where it\u2019s my preferred beverage. However, I always come back to coffee. It\u2019s why I was always surprised by the lack of witchy coffee content out in the world. I even briefly sold a coffee magic booklet on my Etsy store to fill the void. (I pulled it off the website so I could polish and update it more. If you\u2019re interested, leave a comment!) This is also why I was SO EXCITED to learn about \u201cCoffee Magic for the Modern Witch: A Practical Guide to Coffee Rituals, Divination Readings, Magical Brews, Latte Sigil Writing, and More\u201d by Elsie Wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might recognize Wild\u2019s name from my previous tea-tastic review<\/a> of her deck \u201cThe Herbal Tea Magic for the Modern Witch Oracle Deck.\u201d I loved that deck, and spoiler alert, I love \u201cCoffee Magic for the Modern Witch.\u201d I didn\u2019t think I could become more enamored with coffee, but this book did it! Firstly, this is a fantastic coffee 101. Wild does a great job outlining different types of coffee roasts, brewing methods, and popular serving styles. Then add to all of that useful coffee information a layer of magic! \u201cCoffee Magic for the Modern Witch\u201d is loaded with magical coffee drink recipes and also other ways to incorporate coffee into your magic. What I particularly love about this book is the flexibility the author provides with her ideas. Store bought brews are okay bases, a variety of dairy and dairy substitutes are used, and yes, you can opt for you good ol\u2019 drip coffee maker. Wild\u2019s modern witch isn\u2019t just of this era, but they are busy! Seriously, GET THIS BOOK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned before, I recently reviewed a couple tea based witchy book\/decks<\/a>. And I\u2019ll be damned if another tea book didn\u2019t fall in my lap. Get ready tea witches because you\u2019re going to want to know about \u201cEnchanted Teatime: Connect to Spirits through Spells, Traditions, Rituals & Celebrations\u201d by Gail Bussi. I\u2019m not going to lie; you will find a lot of overlap with \u201cEnchanted Teatime\u201d and other magical tea books. BUT, one of the stand out differences is Gail Bussi herself. Bussi weaves touching and insightful personal accounts throughout her book. There were moments reading this book that I genuinely felt my life was missing something from not having more tea in it. Is Bussi in the pocket of \u201cbig tea\u201d because damn I need tea now! What Bussi excels at is making tea an event. Whether it\u2019s a holiday or a daily cuppa\u2019, she allows you to build it into something special by providing rituals and tea appropriate snack recipes. No matter how many books about tea you already own, \u201cEnchanted Teatime\u201d is a worthy addition to any collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
