Herbal Tea as Spell

What It Is

Brewing tea while speaking an intention aloud, then drinking it as an act of embodiment.

Why It Helps

Folk healers have always known: plants carry properties and brewing them with attention amplifies their effect. Pairing herbal action (chamomile for calm, peppermint for clarity) with spoken intention creates a micro-ritual that your body remembers.

What You Need

Herbal tea that matches your need. Chamomile for peace, peppermint for mental clarity, ginger for courage, rose for grief or self-love. Water and a quiet moment.

How to Do It

Choose your tea based on what you need. As the water heats, speak your intention aloud: “This is for clarity” or “I’m releasing anxiety.” Pour, steep, and sit with the steam. Drink slowly, imagining the qualities entering your body.

This Is Not Worship

It’s herbalism and mindful consumption. Hedge witches were community herbalists, not devil-worshippers.

Variations

Grow your own herbs, add honey while naming sweetness you’re inviting, or save the tea bag/leaves to bury as an offering to the earth.
