A fun beginners guide to reading the symbols found in tea leaves! The ancient practice of tasseomancy, or tea leaf reading, originated in ancient China and became popularized throughout Europe by the Romani, who were renowned for their fortune-telling skills, and eventually became a widespread practice of divination around the world. It is one of the easiest forms of divination to learn all it takes is tea leaves, some hot water, and a creative mind! Tea leaf reading is a form of fortune-telling that uses the symbols and images left in a cup by the tea leaves after the liquid is gone. Those images much like the shapes we see in cloud formations can be interpreted by the tea leaf reader. It is a special and intimate form of divination since the questioner must hold the cup in their hands and drink from it. It allows for the innermost aura of the questioner to enter into the warmly held cup of tea, and for the cup itself to have close contact with the boundaries of the questioners body. This easy-to-use guide will teach you all the basics of getting started with this simple form of fortune casting. A 6″ x 6″ paperback book with 176 pages.
