The Empress, Card 3

The Empress is card 3 in a tarot deck and is one of the 22 Major Arcana cards in your deck. 

The Empress is all about the divine feminine, sensuality, creativity, fertility, and abundance. Note the way the character has a star crown, showing her connection to divinity. The nature that surrounds her shows her Earth Mother connection. This card also represents Aspen's house witch and is close to our hearts. It's ruled by Venus and Earth, and if asking the cards a yes-or-no question, the answer is a Yes.

To represent The Empress, this tea is made with:

Rose Petals: Ruled by Venus and the water element. It is the premier herb for self-love, attraction, opening the heart chakra, and traditional beauty spells.

Raspberry Leaf: Closely linked to the Divine Feminine, pregnancy folklore, and motherhood. It provides grounding and protective energetic barriers. Also good to assist with cramps.

Damiana: Associated with passion, desire, and sensual energy. It amplifies intention-setting and enhances the creative life force connected to The Empress archetype.

Clove: A warming spice ruled by fire and Mars. It brings protection, abundance, and prosperity while adding depth and richness to manifestation work.

Mint: Governed by Mercury and air, mint sharpens mental clarity and communication. It brings freshness and vitality, supporting the nurturing abundance The Empress embodies.

All teas are handmade and therefore will have variations in each blend. Each tea is made with love, magic, and intention from the house witch. This tea is approximately 25 grams, which should serve between 10-12 separate brewings (twice as much if you double brew your herbs as I do!) Used and unused tea is compostable.
