Adding clairvoyance to the ability will give you a deeper insight into the metaphysical energy surrounding the process. Reading tea leaves is a fun way to stimulate the imagination and tap into the unconscious mind and listen to your inner self for answers to problems or dilemmas you may be having. The process also links to Carl Jung’s theory of the ‘collective unconscious’, where one’s intuition is not limited by the constraints of space or time. It is through this that tealeaf readers can see a person’s past, present, or future.

The ancient practice of interpreting the patterns made by the tea leaves in the cup is called tasseography, also known as tasseomancy or tasology. “Tasse” or “tass” is an Arabic word meaning small cup or cup. The art also includes the reading of coffee grounds and wine sediments. In China and Japan, drinking tea had ceremonial use and a meditation aid. A reader would look for omens in the patterns and shapes left behind after drinking the tea. Although the tea leaf reading is associated with gypsy fortune tellers and Victorian parlor games, its roots began in Asia, ancient Greece, and the Middle East. In recent history, it has close ties to Scottish and Irish tradition, as well as the whole of Eastern Europe.

Historically, a psychic often had a special cup that they used for readings. Also, a special spoon can be used to give it a sense of ritual. The cup, saucer, and spoon should first be washed or cleaned by immersing in hot soapy water and rinsing with cold water. Modern psychics use mugs with astrological markings printed on the inside. This not only gives a reading of the tea leaves, but also provides information based on astrological signs. The cup should have a wide rim and be plain on the inside, as any pattern would conflict with the interpretation of the leaves.

Part of the ritual of reading the tea leaves is the act of sitting down and enjoying the tea in the company of other drinkers, as this allows you to relax and collect your thoughts. Usually, psychics choose not to use commercially produced small tea leaves, instead going for the larger type i.e. Jasmine or Erl Grey, etc. The person having the reading is asked to place a measure of tea into a hot teapot or directly into a porcelain cup. Some psychics ask the person receiving the reading to stir the dried leaves before placing them in the teacup or teapot. This is considered similar to shuffling the tarot cards before reading. Boiling water is poured over the tea while the person receiving the reading stirs the teapot or cup. At the same time, he or she should focus on the particular question to which they would like an answer. The teapot is shaken and the tea is poured into the cup.

When the tea is cold enough to drink, the person receiving the reading drinks the liquid while continuing to focus on the question. The person to whom the tea leaf is read should leave about a quarter inch of tea in the bottom of the cup. Then the cup must be turned with the left hand three times clockwise so that the tea leaves are suspended. It is then quickly turned upside down on a napkin, which has been placed on the plate, thus leaving the tea leaves on the bottom and sides of the cup.

To interpret the images, it can be helpful if you squint slightly while looking at the sheets and let your imagination run wild. Take a mental note of what you see; start reading the cup clockwise, the handle representing the day of the teacup reading should face the reader The leaves near the rim of the cup are more important than those near the bottom background. Some psychics say that images facing counter-clockwise represent that the meaning is moving away, while images facing clockwise mean that the person requesting the reading is moving. towards the event.

The interpretation of the symbols can be exactly as they appear, for example, a house, can mean contentment and home, or symbolically, that is, combined with a bell, they can mean good news or an invitation on the way. Contradictory images imply indecision in the person’s mind. Sometimes the top of the cup is considered lucky and the bottom unlucky, but you should use your intuition and common sense when deciding this. The size of the symbol can give you a clue to its importance. The edge represents the present or things that can happen in a few days or weeks. The factions predict the future.
