Persephone’s Descent

With the turning of the season to fall, the Greek goddess Persephone begins her descent into the Underworld to reign as queen for the next six months. As she shrouds herself in the shadows of Hade’s dark realm, witches explore and embrace their own shadow side during this season. This is a time to shed old skins and turn inward to discover your own truth. Utilizing Persephone’s signature fruit, the pomegranate, this cocktail can invoke the insight and enchantment of the shadows. Replace tequila with mezcal for a smokier version of this drink.

Energies: Divination, Fertility, Beauty, Strength

SERVES 1

Black salt, to rim glass

2 tablespoons (1 ounce) silver tequila

1 tablespoon pomegranate liqueur

1 tablespoon pomegranate juice

1 1⁄2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon agave syrup

DIRECTIONS:

Rim a margarita glass with black salt. In a cocktail shaker, add tequila, pomegranate liqueur, pomegranate juice, lime juice, and agave syrup. Add ice and shake. Strain into a pre-pared margarita glass.

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.

In the fields, John Barleycorn, who laid with the Lady in the woods at Beltane, has grown old, and now stands bent and bearded with a crooked cane. He looks to the Sun as he has changed from green to gold, and he knew that his time has come. His life will feed the people, and it is this sacrifice that we honour at Lughnasadh.

The Three Witches and a Druid sit around the Zoom table with hot beverages and Brian's second favourite Celtic Fire Festival Lughnasadh! While we are at it, we invited along Jennifer Hartman of Pagankids.org and discussed the holiday and her next book! A book you should all check out by the way!
