Redesigned spread layout! What do y’all think?

Well…Now What?

I created this spread to cheer up a friend who had just been through a rough patch. Despite having come out of the other side of a looooong and difficult situation, she was feeling a little lost and empty so I really wanted to empower her but at the same time give her some hope.

Hope this is useful to you! Happy tarot-ing!

Heatproof (Pokemon Inspired)

A spell to help you continue on when under pressure and keep going. Good for when you have a big or busy day that you are nervous about.

You Will Need:

🔥 Black Tea of your choice 🔥 Cinnamon (I use powder) 🔥 Cinnamon Incense 🔥 Orange Candle 🔥 Warm fuzzy blanket you like

Steps:

🔥 Heat your water for your tea, steep your tea leaves and cinnamon stick/powder in your tea for 3-5 minutes

🔥 While it steeps light your orange candle and incense in a room that is cozy and comfortable for you

🔥 Retrieve your tea and wrap yourself up in your warm blanket. Visualize this blanket acting like a cloak of protection for you, keeping away the flames of stress and pressure

🔥 Drink your tea watching the flame of your orange candle, feel it empower and strengthen you. Feel the warmth of the tea inside you and how it spreads through your body. 

🔥 Once you finish your tea blow out your candle and watch it and the smoke of your incense disperse into the air

🔥 Once you feel ready, begin getting ready for your day
