Book Description

December 15, 2000
A Witch's Beverages and Brews shares the wonderful heritage of beverage making and consuming -- how drinks appeared on altars as gift to the gods, where toasts come from, and why we pass wine clockwise around the table. All this lore and superstition combines with modern magickal methods to help you design beverages that quench both physical and spiritual thirst completely while tantalizing your taste buds.

In the later half of the book, each chapter is devoted to a specific theme with a suggested component list, preparation ideas (timing), and a host of recipes for both consumption and spellcraft purposes. Some of the themes that are covered are "keeping love true," "prosperity potions," and "concocting a little luck." Whether you're creating a drink so you can internalize its qualities for daily living, or making it for a friend, there's something here for all occasions, needs, and tastes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I had in mind, November 8, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: A Witch's Beverages and Brews (Paperback)
The brewing instructions in this book were rudimentary at best, and the use of raw eggs in many of the drinks is questionable. Overall, I found that the book focussed far too much on recipes for sodapop, herbal teas, fruit-juices and Starbucks-like coffee recipes. The larger portion of the recipes in this books are Mz. Telesco's own concoctons. I was expecting more recipes for traditional drinks such as ale, mead, wine, etc... but, the recipes that they did give contained very brief,simplistic brewing instructions that had me a bit worried. This book was a bit dissappointing, really. If you like fanciful, sweet drinks and are not concerned with their religious and historical authenticity, then by all means, buy this book. Otherwise, save your money and get The Alaskan Bootlegger's Bible, a far more accurate and thorough guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Join me for a drink???, February 19, 2001

This review is from: A Witch's Beverages and Brews (Paperback)
Of all books that have recipes for "wiccan" beverages, this is the ULTIMATE guide. The recipes are set up so even the most novice of beverage makers can get right to it. There are recipes for all tastes-with or without "spirits" hot, cold, the list goes on. I want to try almost all of them!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great How To of the Beverage World, June 9, 2003

Kitty "evilangel24" (Orlando, Fl United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Witch's Beverages and Brews (Paperback)
This was my frist book about brewing. It was a wonderful read and an even greater kitchen companion. I love the simple recipies given in the first part of the book so that when you find a recipie with in the pages you are instructioned to death with the retellign of the basic steps. I would recomend this for any one who enjoys making and loving there own stuff. This is a great way to get in touch with the energies put into the beverages used for cerimonies also. wine was wine until I made it my self.

As most people stumble into the kitchen and reach for a morning cup of coffee, they probably do not think of this moment as remotely magickal-except perhaps for that uncanny spiritual pleasure derived from the first sip. Read the first page
