@meeka.monroe: Coffee has been around for generations, and our elders found more uses for it than just filling a cup. Around the porch, coffee was often connected to movement, prosperity, honoring the ancestors, and even taking care of the land. Whether every family did it the same way or not, these are some of the traditions and folk beliefs that have been passed down over the years. ☕ Some traditional and folk uses of coffee included: • Sprinkling coffee grounds around or near the feet to symbolize waking up blessings, opening opportunities, and getting life moving again. • Leaving a fresh cup of black coffee on an ancestor altar as an offering of love, honor, and remembrance. • Keeping a few whole coffee beans near money or in a cash box as a symbol of prosperity, steady work, and abundance. • Drinking coffee before prayer, Bible study, or spiritual work to help stay alert and focused. • Adding used coffee grounds to the garden to enrich the soil, feed certain plants, encourage earthworms, and help improve compost. Nothing went to waste back then, if it could be used again, it usually was. Grandma handed me three coffee beans and told me to keep them in my purse. Then she smiled and said, “Baby, our people knew how to make use of what they had.” Whether it was in the kitchen, the garden, or on the porch, a simple can of coffee carried more stories than most folks realize. What are some of the coffee traditions you remember hearing growing up? ☕🌿 #coffee #spiritualtok #coffeetok #folklore #fyp
