UNLOCKING THE ART OF TEA LEAF READING
Tea leaf reading, also known as tasseography, is a beautiful practice that dates back centuries. It offers insights into life’s mysteries and guides readers through symbols formed by tea leaves. In Australia, where tea has become a tradition and ritual, many embrace this age-old divination technique for spiritual insight and clarity.
The Basics of Tea Leaf Reading
Tea leaf reading involves steeping loose tea, drinking it with intention, and observing the shapes left behind in the cup. To start, you’ll need:
- Loose-leaf tea (black tea is traditional, though herbal teas can also be used).
- A white or light-coloured cup to see the shapes.
- A quiet space where you can concentrate and connect with your intuition.
Once you’ve enjoyed your tea, gently swirl the cup and observe the remaining tea leaves. Each shape has its unique meaning—stars might suggest luck and success, while animals like dogs or birds could signify friendship or good news on the way.
Crystals to Boost Your Intuition
Incorporating crystals can heighten your tea leaf reading experience by enhancing your intuitive abilities. Here are some crystals to keep nearby during your readings:
- Amethyst: Known for its calming properties, Amethyst helps clear the mind, making it ideal for tapping into your intuition. Keep a piece near your cup or wear it as jewellery while you read.
- Clear Quartz: This crystal amplifies energy, making connecting with the symbols in the tea leaves more manageable. Place a tiny Clear Quartz by your teacup to deepen your focus.
- Labradorite: Renowned as the stone of magic, Labradorite opens up spiritual perception and helps you tune into hidden messages in your readings.
Each of these crystals can be found in our online shop at www.kerrykulkens.com.au. Select the one that resonates with your reading journey!
Spells to Enhance Your Abilities
For those looking to infuse a touch of magic into their tea leaf reading practice, here are two simple spells:
- Clarity Spell: Light a white candle and focus on your question. Hold Clear Quartz in your hand while repeating, “Reveal the truth, hidden within; guide my hand and let me begin.” Let the candle burn while you read, helping reveal clear messages.
- Intuition Booster Spell: Before beginning your reading, hold an Amethyst stone and whisper, “With insight and vision, let the truth be seen.” Place the Amethyst near your cup to open your third eye as you interpret the shapes.
