Pumpkin Spice Herbal Tea, Health Benefits & Autumn Witchcraft

When the air turns crisp and leaves dance like embers in the wind, a familiar fragrance drifts through kitchens and woodlands alike — pumpkin spice. A blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and sometimes vanilla – just like in our recipe! – pumpkin spice is more than just a flavor. It is the essence of autumn, carrying with it warmth, magic, and the enchantment of the harvest season.

Brewed into tea, pumpkin spice becomes a potion of comfort and witchcraft — a cup to chase away the chill, awaken seasonal joy, and honor the turning of the year. You can find our Spiced Pumpkin Spell here.

The Folklore of Pumpkin & Spice

Pumpkin itself has long been linked to magic and mystery. In harvest traditions, pumpkins symbolized abundance, protection, and transformation. They were carved into lanterns to ward off wandering spirits, placed on thresholds to protect homes, and feasted upon to celebrate the bounty of autumn.

The spices we now associate with pumpkin spice each carry their own folklore:

1. Cinnamon – A spice of prosperity and warmth, once more valuable than gold.
2. Nutmeg – A talisman of protection and luck, used in charms for good fortune.
3. Cloves – Believed to drive away evil and bring healing energy.
4. Ginger – A root of fire, passion, and strength, stirring vitality into the body.

Together, these spices form a potion not only of flavor but of protection, abundance, and enchantment — perfect for autumn witchcraft.
