It dates back to ancient Rome, where wine was cooked and infused with various herbs to help protect against illness and the coming cooler weather. Because of its history, this is a perfect cocktail to make in the fall to accompany a harvest ritual of ancestor worship. Enjoy while sipping by an outdoor fire, or pour some onto the earth as an offering and reflect on all that life has given you. Garnish with a cinnamon stick for added protection. (Serves 6) Energies: Spirituality, Wisdom, Immortality, Divination Ingredients1 (750-milliliter) bottle cabernet sauvignon1/2 cup pure honey4 ounces pomegranate juice3 whole star anise2 teaspoons ground cinnamon2 large blood orange peels4 ounces pomegranate liqueur1 cup apple juice1 red apple, sliced crosswise into 6 slices, for garnishDirections Combine all ingredients except apple slices in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then lower the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour into six mugs to share and garnish each with an apple slice. Advanced Magic: Death The Death card in the tarot represents the end of one cycle and the promise of a new one. This card perfectly matches the energy of fall, and also the pomegranate, anise, and apple associations of this cocktail. Reflect on this card as you sip, and think about which cycles may be ending in your life, and which new ones you wish to invoke. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
