Welcome to the Beverage Channel with your host, Rachelle.

In Episode 7 :: is a channeling for Samhain. This was done with intention over a three day period, starting October 30th and released on November 1st. Using coffee, specifically Greek coffee that is boiled in a briki, where the grounds are read and is called tasseography. Similar to reading tea leaves, wine or beer sediments, I am using it here as a divination tool woven with poetry channeling. I first learned this technique in 2009 while traveling in Greece and from Greek friends here in the states. I have developed my own way of reading that isn't seen as good, bad or as a fortune telling tool to define the future. It is rather a tool for connecting with the "otherworlds" and the earth through the medium of coffee. It is a snapshot in time, that is done with care and appreciation for the spoken word, channeled through coffee. Being that is a Samhain channeling, it would be remiss to also not touch on the importance and joy of enjoying a cup of afternoon coffee with my grandmother. Coffee breaks, sometimes called fika (she is of Swedish descent) was something I grew up with and loved. As a kid, it was mostly for the afternoon cookie to dunk into the coffee. However, this was a time for connecting, sharing stories and catching up over coffee and it instilled in me a passion for coffee culture, but also the wisdom of how coffee can be used in conjunction with storytelling. So here is the Samhain poetry channeling for connecting with the now and those who have come before...
