Believe it or not, today is National Brew a Potion Day! While the word potion tends to conjure up ideas of a bubbling cauldron full of mysterious and magical ingredients, much of what we craft to eat and drink, as well as the medications we take, are also technically products of potions. You can also add a bit of magic to something you already brew daily, such as your morning coffee or tea, just by how you stir it!

Had a bad dream or need to clear your head? Stir your cup (with a spoon or stirring wand) counterclockwise three to nine times, dispersing the unwanted thoughts. Need to muster up some confidence for the day? Stir clockwise six times. Feel like you need a little extra protection or focus? Stir a pentagram into your cup. You could also stir in a sigil for whatever goal you may be working on. Then drink and enjoy your brew as usual!
