Game modes

Writing and Tea

Immerse yourself in tea times and let the written word flow and manifest. They say that the tea ceremony is a “meditation in motion.” Writing is too. We leave at hand two possible combinations of cards that will serve as inspiration when you pause, have a tea and get ready to write:


Take a verse and a question. From both letters, write a poem.
Extract a tea card and a question. Write from that scenario.


Tea Oracle

Ask a question and answer it with a verse and a letter from the Theomancy series. Take into account the list of symbols and their meanings. Ideally the question should be open, not seeking a univocal, exact or literal answer.

Tea ceremony

Experiencing new flavors in the world of tea. Choose a type of infusion, prepare it and savor it. Then, write a text, record ideas or sensations based on what you experienced. In the deck we share a selection of teas that can be easily found in Argentina. There are many more. Other varieties may be included and new combinations may be made.

Read the tea leaves

Prepare tea in threads and practice theomancy based on the meanings offered by reading its leaves (see selection of cards).

To serve the tea we suggest using a white cup. Once the infusion has been drunk, drain all the remaining liquor, covering the cup with a saucer. Move the grounds three times counterclockwise, turn the cup so that the handle is facing the consultant and prepare to read.
