The Reaper

Mulled wine is one of the most well-known, long-standing drinks. It dates back to ancient Rome, where wine was cooked and infused with various herbs to help protect against illness and the coming cooler weather. Because of its history, this is a perfect cocktail to make in the fall to accompany a harvest ritual of ancestor worship. Enjoy while sipping by an outdoor fire, or pour some onto the earth as an offering and reflect on all that life has given you. Garnish with a cinnamon stick for added protection. (Serves 6)

 

Energies: Spirituality, Wisdom, Immortality, Divination

 

Ingredients

• 1 (750-milliliter) bottle cabernet sauvignon
• 1/2 cup pure honey
• 4 ounces pomegranate juice
• 3 whole star anise
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 large blood orange peels
• 4 ounces pomegranate liqueur
• 1 cup apple juice
• 1 red apple, sliced crosswise into 6 slices, for garnish

Directions

 

Combine all ingredients except apple slices in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then lower the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour into six mugs to share and garnish each with an apple slice.

 

Advanced Magic: Death

 

The Death card in the tarot represents the end of one cycle and the promise of a new one. This card perfectly matches the energy of fall, and also the pomegranate, anise, and apple associations of this cocktail. Reflect on this card as you sip, and think about which cycles may be ending in your life, and which new ones you wish to invoke.
