Look, I know what you're thinking.
A grimoire? For Starbucks?
But here's the thing: you're already buying coffee. You're already choosing between vanilla and caramel, oat milk and almond, hot or iced. You're already standing there every morning making decisions about ingredients.
You're just not doing it with intention yet.
This is your complete reference guide—20 drink spells you can order at any coffee shop, organized like an actual grimoire because why not make your daily coffee run feel a little more magical?
How to Use This Grimoire
Each spell includes:
The Sacred Order (the exact words to say to the barista)
Magical Properties (what this drink actually does)
Planetary/Elemental Correspondence (for the witches who care about that)
When to Cast (real situations where you'd order this)
The Incantation (what to think/say while you wait)
Ritual Instructions (how to charge and activate it)
Variations (substitutions based on what your coffee shop has)
You don't need to memorize this. You don't need to get it perfect. Just pick the spell that matches what you need today, order it, and drink it with intention.
That's the whole practice.
A quick note on correspondences:
Yes, I'm including planetary rulers and elemental associations. No, you don't have to care about them. If you want to geek out on traditional magical systems, they're there. If you just want to know "which drink = confidence," skip to the intention and order.
The magic works either way.
Ready?
Let's start with coffee spells, move to tea, and end with moon phase specials.
Your daily practice just got a lot easier. ☕✨

If This Is Your Kind of Magic
If you’re reading this thinking, oh thank god, someone else who doesn’t want elaborate rituals, then you’re exactly who this is for.
This is the kind of magic I actually use when I’m anxious, tired, overstimulated, or just trying to get through the day — not the version that looks good on Instagram.
Because sometimes the most magical thing you can do is:
make a drink you were already going to make
add one small intention
and let that be enough
That’s why I ended up turning my most-used drink rituals into a set of simple recipe cards — something I can grab without thinking, scrolling, or planning.
If that sounds helpful, they’re here:→ Drink Spell Recipe Cards (printable)
(No pressure. Just an option.)
