Tea as a Ritual Practice
Susana Harlow grew up learning tea witchcraft from her grandmother, and this book is a direct transmission of that knowledge. A Tea Witch's Grimoire is organized around the practical side of making intentional brews: teas, elixirs, potions, decoctions, electuaries, aromatic oils, and tinctures. Each recipe is accompanied by a corresponding ritual or spell, so the book functions as both a recipe collection and a working magical guide.
The recipe coverage is wide. Harlow includes teas aligned with the eight sabbats of the Wheel of the Year, brews keyed to each phase of the moon, blends organized by astrological sign, and practical teas for everyday goals including prosperity, protection, love, beauty, and mental clarity. A section on sigils and crystals as supplementary tools for tea magic rounds out the main text, followed by a comprehensive reference chapter covering botanical ingredients, their substitutions, and magical correspondences.
Practical Details Worth Knowing
Most recipes call for ingredients available in the tea aisle of a well-stocked grocery store, with some specialty herbs requiring a health food or herb shop. Harlow is careful to include safety notes alongside recipes, which is a practical consideration often missing from books in this category. The book also covers tea divination through tasseography, and it includes guidance on proper brewing times, conversions, and Latin names for all botanicals. The hardcover format holds up well to regular kitchen use.
How to Use A Tea Witch's Grimoire
A straightforward approach to working with this herbal tea spellbook.
-
Start With the Botanical Correspondences Chapter
Before brewing any magical recipes, read the correspondences section at the back of the book. It lists botanical ingredients alongside their associated intentions, giving you a practical reference for adapting or building your own tea recipes.
-
Brew a Simple Intention Tea
Select a recipe that matches your current intention, such as a prosperity blend or clarity brew. Gather the listed herbs, measure as directed, and steep according to the time given. Hold your intention in mind throughout the brewing process.
-
Add a Sigil or Crystal to Deepen the Working
Harlow includes a chapter on enhancing teas through magical means beyond herbs alone. Place a cleansed crystal beside your cup, or draw a relevant sigil on small paper and set it beneath the cup while the tea steeps and you drink.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock this book because it brings genuine craft to a practice that deserves better than a vague collection of herbal suggestions. Harlow's family background shows throughout, and the attention to safety, sourcing, and correspondences makes this a book you can actually rely on. The hardcover format is a good choice for a book that will be used in the kitchen regularly. For more books on herbal magic, browse my books collection.
