Magick and Coffee: Coffee Magick
Presented by Frater Post Tenebras Lux
During Crowley's magical retirement in Paris, which he documented in extraordinary detail in his magical diary "John St. John,".
There is a period in which he is consecrating all his food toward the end of the Great Work. For coffee he recites the following:
O coffee! By the mighty Name of Power do I invoke thee, consecrating thee to the Service of the Magic of Light. Let the pulsations of my heart be strong and regular and slow! Let my brain be wakeful and active in its supreme task of self-control! That my desired end may be effected through Thy strength, Adonai, unto Whom be the Glory for ever! Amen without lie, and Amen, and Amen of Amen.
And then there's The Caffeinated Cross, a Javacrucian ritual.
THE CAFFEINATED CROSS
Stand, facing east, holding your coffee cup, filled with the mystical brew, in your power hand, and assume a posture of wakeful alertness.
Bring your coffee cup to your forehead and intone:
"LATTE"
Lower your coffee cup to the vicinity of your navel:
"MOCHA"
Bring your coffee cup to your left shoulder:
"CAPPUCHINO"
Bring it across to your right shoulder:
"FRAPPUCHINO"
Clasp your coffee cup in both hands over your heart chakra:
"ARABICA, OH MAN!"
Extend your arms to the sides, and intone:
"BEFORE ME, MRS. OLSON"
"BEHIND ME, JUAN VALDEZ"
"AT MY RIGHT HAND, M J B"
"AT MY LEFT HAND, THE BROTHERS HILLS"
"FOR ABOUT ME SWIRLS THE COFFEE AROMA"
"WITHIN ME SINGS THE CAFFEINE HIGH"
Drink the coffee, in communion with the spirits of the Sacred Coffee Bean. This last step may be usefully repeated as long as you like.
To end the ritual, raise the mug to your lips one last time, facing East and intone:
"GODDESS... I needed that!"
