On another board I mentioned in passing Caffeina, the goddess of coffee, and someone was curious to learn more. So here is some more info. She is a "found goddess" sometimes linked informally to Greece or Rome (more properly Northern Africa!) but clearly she has a very widespread cultus!
True Pagan Warrior has put together some of the best info about Caffeina (He honors her as Hestia Caffeina), and shared a bunch of his personal practices & ideas-
30 Days of Devotion to Caffeina
Caffeina, Goddess of Untamed Energy
I'd suggest if you have an interest in Her- to take a look at the cultural & spiritual roles coffee has played throughout history. The Sufis (Muslim mystics) drank coffee as part of their devotional practice, and coffee shops have long been gathering places for artists, writers, intellectuals, activists and bohemians. As well as more mainstream folk.
