Full Strawberry Moon Tea Ritual🍵🍓 (Patreon)

If you want a simple and fulfilling ritual to do for the Full Strawberry Moon, you may want to consider this tea ritual! You can use tea, wine, juice or any other beverage that you enjoy. I thought this was a really great ritual by Spells8 because you can customize it to your liking and it is also very powerful. What do you think of this ritual?

This Thursday marks the rise of the Full Strawberry Moon- a wonderful time to have a cup brimming with full moon energy. It is a moon of summer- of heat, passion, and love.

Find some time for a tea meditation - an easy and beginner-friendly meditative practice to help you focus your mind and draw in your energies. This is completely optional, of course! But if you wanted to do something special, this would be a great idea.

What you need:

1.) Choose your beverage . While tea is the standard, it is perfectly fine to do this meditation with coffee, juice, hot cocoa, or any other beverage.

2.) Find a quiet place to relax . Find somewhere where you can let go of outside disturbances. If you’d like, you may decide to cast a circle or cleanse the space before you begin.

3.) Focus your intent . You can follow any style or type of meditation you choose- focus on your breath and thoughts and be present in this moment.

4.) Work some magick! While meditation is a magickal and healing process all on its own, you may choose to add an additional element of magick to your tea time.

Notes:

- Before beginning, you may choose to enhance your spellwork by lighting a pink or red candle.

- Make your tea and feel free to add sugar or honey, as sweeteners (a common component in love spells) help with binding and encouraging positive emotions.

- Breath deeply as you sip your drink, and meditate as you watch the candle burn m.

- Consider saying a small chant to a Goddess (you may dedicate this to any Goddess of your choosing, or to all Goddesses

- If you’d like, you may make an offering to your Goddess by writing a wish and placing it under the candle. You might also offer strawberries or other summer fruits (both the actual fruit or an image/drawing would suffice) :strawberry:

- You can let your candle burn down or blow it out as needed, but leave your wish and offerings to sit out until the Full Moon sets and the sun rises tomorrow.

- The following day, dispose of your offerings 3 and say a word of thanks to your Goddess.

- When your meditation is complete, enjoy the good vibes! Meditation helps to foster a clear mind, increased focus, and boost of positivity- carry these good feelings with you through the rest of your day or night!

- Know that you are very welcome to share any thoughts or experiences you had during tea time in the comments below or on Discord. Feel free to share some pics of your tea, your plans for the rest of the week, or just talk about what’s on your mind today.

🍓How to Make Strawberry Tea🍓

For the Super Strawberry Moon, you might want to make some strawberry tea! You could make this cold or hot and add some green tea or lemonade in it as well. Drinking strawberry tea is a deliciously fruity beverage that can impart a number of health benefits when prepared properly.

What is Strawberry Tea?

Strawberry tea is an herbal tea brewed using the leaves of the wild strawberry, scientifically known as Fragaria vesca. Also called a mountain strawberry or alpine strawberry, unlike the common strawberries found in grocery stores, the medicinal part of this fruit is the leaves. Some other variations of this tea consist of regular white or black tea that is sweetened with strawberries or even using the fruit themselves to brew the tea. However, the type of strawberry tea discussed in the remainder of this article is made from the fragrant dried leaves, resulting in a warm, relaxing tea that tastes surprisingly like strawberries!

One way of making strawberry tea is simply by using water, green tea, fresh strawberries, and honey.

How to Make Strawberry Tea

You can make your own strawberry tea at home quite easily, provided you can find dried wild strawberry leaves from a herbalist or natural grocer. Let’s take a look at the recipe below.

Ingredients

1/2-1/4 cup fresh strawberry chopped
