Tea Leaves

The tea leaves card takes you back to the practice of the old fortune tellers, who in an age full of mystery and magic could catch a glimpse of the future in the shapes forming at the bottom of your cup.

It is time now for you to open your eyes and your heart and look into your own bloodline. Whether you carry Romani blood or not, you should acknowledge the sacred work of your forebears, because they will help you from the realm of spirit. With foresight and inner knowledge you will be able to read clearly the messages and the shapes of what lies ahead.

Verse
I see the truth within the tea.
The work of elders helps me see.
My eyes are open, whole and strong.
My future shows, it comes along.

Other meanings

Think of the magical stories of older times that you heard as a child. Always look at the larger picture. Meet your future with your eyes open. Relax and have a cup of tea.

About tea leaves
The tradition of reading tea leaves comes from Asia, the Middle East and ancient Greece. Once tea had reached Europe from China, traveling fortune tellers began reading European futures in tea leaves. The days when everyone sat around the table and grandmother read the leaves in the porcelain cup are behind us now, since loose tea has been replaced by the teabag.
