🍾 Alcohol Correspondences 🍻
Alcohol in general is a very potent ingredient and can either be used for positive or negative outcomes. Often times, alcohol is used as an offering to gods and goddess. Alcohol is also purified by the process of making it, so all of them can be used for cleansing in general spell work. In general alcohol is used minimally and should not be used if you have/had an addiction. This is for general knowledge!
🧚 Absinthe - It is an anise-flavored spirit derived from botanicals, including the flowers and leaves of Artemisia absinthium (“grand wormwood”), together with green anise, sweet fennel, and other medicinal and culinary herbs. While the hallucinogenic absinthe is banned in the US, you can still find a less severe version today. Good for psychic dreams, and protection spells.
🌿 Wormwood - Independence, psychic, love, passion
🌿 Anise - Happiness, psychic, protection, purification, youth, luck, ward, prevent nightmares
🌿 Fennel - Love, protection, healing, vitality, virility, prevents curses, hexes, possessions and negative problems
🍺 Beer - is brewed from cereal grains—most commonly from malted barley, though wheat, maize (corn), and rice are also used. Most modern beer is brewed with hops, which add bitterness and other flavours. Very good to add an extra punch to your spell work, as well as having many different types uses.
🌾 Barley - Love, Healing, protection, fertility, marriage, financial luck, energy.
🌾 Wheat - Energy, prosperity and protection
🌽 Corn - Growth, transformation, fertility
🍚 Rice - Blessing, prosperity, protection,
🌿 Hops - Healing, sleep
🍺 Ale - s a type of beer brewed using a warm fermentation method, resulting in a sweet, full-bodied and fruity taste. Historically, the term referred to a drink brewed without hops. Very good for non-sleep/drowsy spells.
🍷 Brandy - is produced by distilling wine. Acts like a wine, but tends to be a little more general, while wine can have different effects based on color/type/location.
🍇 See ‘Grapes’
🍺 Cider - made from the fermented juice of apples. Extremely powerful, and generally very positive. Use sparingly though! Use real apples when you can instead.
🍎 Apples - immortality, health, love
🍸 Gin - derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries.
🍒 Juniper berries - Health, protection
🐝 Mead - created by fermenting honey with water, sometimes with various fruits, spices, grains, or hops. Make sure to find what kind of mead you are drinking if it has added ingredients!
🍯 Honey - Connection, prosperity, love
🍸 Mezcal - is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from any type of agave plant native to Mexico. Very similar to Tequila. Tequila is simply made from the Blue Agave plant.
🌵 Agave - Transformation, truth
🥤 Rum - made from molasses or honey, or directly from sugarcane juice, by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak barrels. Very good in any love/relationship magic
🍬 Sugar - Clarity, love
🍬 Molasses - Strength, love
🍯 See ‘Honey’
🍶 Sake - made by fermenting rice that has been polished to remove the bran.
🍚 See ‘Rice’
🍷 Wine - made from grapes. Extremely diversified and useful. An easy go to for most things.
Colors of Wine/Types correspondences
🍇 Grapes - Fertility, happiness, prosperity
🍷 Port - is a Portuguese fortified wine that is typically a sweet, red wine, often served as a dessert wine, though it also comes in dry, semi-dry, and white varieties. Good for love magic.
🍷 Vermouth - is an aromatized, fortified wine flavored with various botanicals (roots, barks, flowers, seeds, herbs, and spices). A good combo if you find the different ingredients listed.
🏺 Santorini - is a Greek wine region located on the archipelago of Santorini in the southern Cyclades islands of Greece. Wine has been produced there since ancient times, but it was during the Middle Ages that the wine of Santorini became famous worldwide under the influence of the Republic of Venice. Probably a good choice for offerings if you worship the Olympian gods.
🥃 Whiskey - is distilled from fermented grain mash. Various grains (which may be malted) are used for different varieties, including barley, corn (maize), rye, and wheat. Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks, generally made of charred white oak. The charred oak is really your ticket here to add a kick.
🌾 Rye - Protection, strength
🌾 See ‘Wheat’
🌽 See ‘Corn’
🌾 See ‘Barley’
~There are lots of different whiskeys with the only real difference being location of where it was made.
🍸 Vodka - is made through the distillation of cereal grains or potatoes that have been fermented, though some modern brands use fruits or sugar. Good for grounding work.
🥔 Potatoes - Stability, truth, life.
🥂 Liqueur - made from a distilled spirit that has been flavored with either fruit, cream, herbs, spices, flowers or nuts, and is bottled with added sugars and other sweeteners. Liqueurs are typically quite sweet. Good for any offering, or prosperity spells.
🌳 Oak Wood casks - Money, success, strength, fertility, stability, health, healing, potency and good luck.
🌳White Oak - solidity and strength
🌳 Charred casks - Transformation, prophetic
🔥 Proofs - I bring this up because if you want to use fire with the alcohol you need over 100 proof (in US at least - I believe Europe/Canada/UK use a different measuring system) to light alcohol on fire. Anything less will not stay lit/light at all.
🚫 Cleaning Alcohol - or Isopropyl alcohol is very toxic. Be careful. I would not recommend using it outside of its usual purpose. It’s extremely flammable, should not be consumed, and is a skin irritant! Just don’t use it!!
Drink and use responsibly! Cheers! 🍻
Gin is my favorite drink of all time that actually makes so much sense now
