Tea Leaves

Tea Leaves | Coffee Grounds | Dream Interpretation
How do you do it?
The methods for reading tea leaves are very varied, men this is the most frequently used method. You boil the water and put the leaves straight into the cup. The person who is going to be read drinks the tea until there are only the leaves and a little tea left at the bottom. He or she stirs three times clockwise, turns the cup around and taps the bottom three times so that most of the leaves fall out. Then the reader takes the cup and reads the remaining leaves.
What can you learn?
Tea leaf readers say they can see what’s coming. Patterns in lines, animals, plants and objects all have their meaning. A straight line, for example, means planning and peace of mind. Two parallel lines mean that a rewarding journey lies ahead. A circle with a cross on top is usually a bad sign, for example being locked up against your wishes, maybe in a prison or a hospital. A tree means success and an acorn good health. The closer to the top of the cup it is, the closer the event is.
Here is a list of symbols and their meaning, but I personally feel that you shouldn’t put too much trust in these ready-made interpretations. But there may be some help in them, as long as you don’t diskonnect your intuition!
