Changing Ties Tea

Reversal of Fortune: Relationship Edition

Relationships are complicated, whether they’re platonic or romantic. Sometimes that part of your life feels soured. Love seems far away, or non-existent. People close to you seem distant, or you long for someone you don’t have. A little bit of hope and heart go a long way, but sometimes it’s nice to have a little push. 

Start by gathering up your tea ingredients:

Green or White Tea (Not a necessity, but if you prefer bases either work)

Green Tea works well for Relationship magic

White Tea works well for Good Luck

Clove for good luck

Cinnamon for love

Dandelion Root for wishing

Lemongrass to attract change

Rosebuds for love

You can mix these ingredients in whatever amount you wish. I personally add more clove and cinnamon, but that’s all about taste. 

Next, go ahead and heat up your water. This is a lighter tea, so make sure that you don’t pour your water over the tea at a boil as this can scald the tea. I would also suggest not letting the tea steep for more than 7 or so minutes. It’s light so it shouldn’t get too bitter. 

Pour the tea into a cup that is significant to you, if you have a special cup for tea magic use that, if not, find a vessel that means something to you. Familiarity is a powerful amplifier. 

Sweeten your tea to taste, and find a comfortable place to sit and create a moment. In the quiet close your eyes and bring your wish in your mind, should you feel comfortable with verbal magic you can use a quick love or relationship spell. While you continue to carry the mental image, drink.

Here’s a lovely spread for all of you out there who are new to tarot, recently received a new deck, struggle with bonding with your deck(s) and/or are having issues getting clear or understanding readings. Sometimes decks have personalities to them, they have their own likes, dislikes, alignments and even preferred ‘work’ to go into. They also often require bonding to get the most accurate smooth readings. I have explained before the differences in my decks and what they like to answer, and I know of others who struggle bonding or understanding who their decks are. This spread should be of help!

1. How is your deck feeling today? Are they in a good mood ready to work? Or are they just having an off bad day? I have found decks, like people, can have moody bad days. These days their readings may be harsher than usual or even not even slightly logical. Its good to see what mood your deck is in before using it for readings, especially readings for others (and especially if they are paying for them). This may also affect the questions they will wish to answer.

2. What element does your deck align with? All decks are different and some may align themselves with specific elements. Is your deck fire, water, earth, air, spirit or a combination of them? This may affect the manner which they read. Air decks may be more interested in giving creative advice and focus on individuality, free-spirited natures, the arts, and even love. Water decks tend to focus on emotions and seeking gentle fixes. Fire decks tend to be the most assertive, they are competitive, encouraging, brave, passionate but also tend to support the idea of feuds. Fire decks, also from my experience, tend to be very blunt about things. Earth aligned decks tend to be a bit calmer, they focus on bonds with people such as family and friendships. They also focus on careers, prosperity and money matters. Spirit decks, tend to like to do more of the ‘divine’. They focus on self-enlightenment, self discovery and communicating with supernatural forces, guides, and deities.

3. What Questions does your deck enjoy answering? Does your deck enjoy answering questions about love? Friends and family? Do they enjoy giving personal advice? Do they like money matters and career focuses. This could determine what questions they may be the most accurate and ones they will give the best advice on.

4. What Questions does your deck least like to answer? These are the questions they may not have the most accurate advice on. Such as my Rider deck greatly dislikes romance questions so I never use him for them because he will always just advice break-ups no matter the situation.

5. What is your deck’s current feelings towards you? Does your deck feel close to you? Is it a strong professional business bond? Or is it more like a friendship? Do they feel distant from you? Like you ignore them? Do they not understand you or feel like you are a stranger? Do you intimidate them?

6. How can you improve your relationship? How does your deck feel like you two can do to help build your relationship? Practice more or perhaps make spreads.

7. A Negative trait. Pretty self explanatory, this is a negative quality about your deck that it feels you have a right to know about. Take note that this is a negative trait in the mind and views of your deck, its something it feels is negative.
