Those of you practicing Lavenderist Ghost Worship may have seen that the intranquil thetans of the dead lack energy to interact with the physical world. The solution to this is to give them coffee, but this is not always safe and you should be very careful which ghosts or spirits you empower with caffeine. You can end up with imposter spirits or end up causing yourself to be haunted, attacked or possessed by something you fed. The same way your ancestor spirits can change up your life when they are given coffee, any other spirit can do it too.

Ghosts love the darkest, most potent coffee. The reason for this is because they also know that the caffeine will nourish them. You can grant them other drinks such as energy drinks or raw cocoa for theobromine’s stimulant properties, but coffee is most familiar to the ghosts since most people have had it during their lifetime. The ghosts of children should be given some sugar in their espresso so it is easier for them to consume, but alternatives like soda also work even if the caffeine content is lower. The downside of alternatives is that sugar and artificial ingredients make the liquid leave sticky residue and it can be difficult to keep areas clean.

To make ghost coffee, brew your strongest, most concentrated coffee. Preferably with an espresso machine. You can add herbs but do not add anything that would repel spirits such as salt, sage, or bay leaves. Other things you may like to add are honey, cinnamon, mint or other natural herbs with spiritual benefits that ghosts can enjoy. For your ancestors, pour it into the ground as a libation or leave it at your shrine for a while. You can simply pour it down the drain once the ghost has taken its energy and is finished with it.
