Happy International Tarot Day, everyone! If you’re new to my blog, welcome! I’m writing this post today as part of the big International Tarot Day Blog Hop organized by Nym’s Divination, where a bunch of tarot bloggers are each writing about one of the 78 tarot cards. The lovely Starr preceded me with the Page of Cups, and Kriss is right after with the Queen of Cups! Be sure to check out their posts if you haven’t already (when you’re done reading mine, that is! 😉 ) You can view a master list of posts here!

My card is the Knight of Cups! This Knight is a sensitive soul who’s in touch with their emotions. They are charming, sensitive, and a true romantic. This Knight is an artist – a poet’s soul, a dreamer, someone who understands others and attracts them whether they intend to or not. The flip side of this is that they can be overly emotional, maybe even tending on the dramatic side of things. Still, the Knight of Cups is actually my favorite Knight of the tarot, so I’m excited to be working with this card’s energy today!

In the spirit of the natural charm of the Knight of Cups, I’ve put together this Knight of Cups Charm Potion to make the user more attractive in the eyes of others. Note that by attractive, I don’t mean that any sort of physical change will come over you; rather, it will cause others to be drawn to your natural charm. Whether you’re looking for a new friendship or a romantic encounter, this could bring more opportunities your way!

Knight of Cups Charm Potion

You will need:

• 1 teaspoon loose black tea, or 1 teabag
• 1/2 tsp rose water (you can buy this at the store or make it yourself!)
• 1/3 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp honey (or more to taste)
• Small, clean rose quartz crystal

What to Do

1. Prepare for this little ritual however you’d like. I personally recommend cleansing your altar or sacred space with whatever method you prefer. I also like to take a bath before I do a spell or ritual and envision any negative energy dissolving and flowing down the drain. A shower works, too! If you do that for this potion, focus particularly on dissolving any limiting beliefs you have about yourself. This potion is all about boosting confidence and revealing your natural charm!

2. Brew the tea as you would normally, making it as strong as you’d like. While the tea is brewing, gather the other ingredients at your altar or sacred space. Place the rose quartz in the center of the altar and make room to put your cup of tea once it’s finished brewing.

3. Bring the tea over to your workspace. You’re going to add the ingredients one by one, saying the following as you do:

“As roses draw bees, I draw others to me
As honey’s a treat, my words will be sweet
As vanilla blooms, I do too.”

Be intentional as you add the ingredients and picture your desired outcome in your mind. Is it you surrounded by new friends? Flirting with the cute barista? Try to picture it in your mind as you say the words.

4. Let the tea cool off enough for you to drink it (but not until it’s cold! Blowing on it a bit should help.) Before you drink the tea, dip the rose quartz crystal in it. As you hold the crystal in the tea, envision that positive energy you’ve channeled for the potion flowing into the quartz. Then drink the tea, feeling yourself filling with confidence and charm as you do so.

5. Carry the rose quartz in your purse or pocket as a little boost the next time you go out into a social situation. You’ll find that others are naturally attracted to your personality!

And that’s it! I hope you enjoy this lovely little pick-me-up potion. Once again, don’t forget to continue on to Kriss with the Queen of Cups, and head back to read Starr’s post on the Page of Cups if you haven’t already! Happy International Tarot Day! <3
