The Way of Tea Spread (3) by Glass Owl "Tea is instant wisdom — just add water!" ~Astrid Alauda This spread was inspired by a tea poem by Chio Jen (Tang Dynasty) which I found at www.panthermoontea.com/chafu---tea-poems.html. This spread's layout is in the shape of a bowl (or a tea cup without a handle.) The Way of TeaA friend presented me
With tender leaves of Oolong tea,
For which I chose a kettle
Of ivory-mounted gold,
A mixing-bowl of snow-white earth.
With its clear bright froth and fragrance,
It was like the nectar of Immortals.1----------3 ------2----- 1. The First Bowl of Tea ~ This washes the cobwebs from your mindThe first bowl washed the cobwebs from my mind —
The whole world seemed to sparkle.2. The Second Bowl of Tea ~ This cleanses your spiritA second cleansed my spirit
Like purifying showers of rain,3. The Third Bowl of Tea ~ This sets you free, allowing you to see a greater truthA third and I was one of the Immortals —
What need now for austerities
To purge our human sorrows?
Worldly people, by going in for wine,
Sadly deceive themselves.
For now I know the Way of Tea is real.

One person used the Ludy Lescot Tarot with this spread and I thought it was a fantastic idea. The card meanings in the deck’s little white book offer an unique flavor.

- By Chio Jen (Tang Dynasty)Tags: [HASH]mytarotspread [HASH]selfdiscoveryspread [HASH]threecardspread I like your view on tarot as a lifestyle and not just the readings. To me tarot is way more than just laying out cards and interpreting them. It is a science and I think not everyone is capable of reading them right. You can learn how to read them and how to use this information for your own. I like in which context you put tarot and that you present it to us as it is - reaching into and merging different areas of life! Best, Ivy |
