I have recently developed an addiction to tea, so it seemed only fitting to reasearch the area of divination related to tea. Tasseography. This is the study or tea-leaves, coffee grounds or, curiously enough, wine sediments. The technique i used was make a cup of tea with 1 tsp of LOOSE tea leaves in it. Drink it until theres only a little bit of moisture left in the bottom of the cup with the tea leaves. Rotate the cup 3 times clockwise. Tip in upside down on a saucer and leave until all moisture runs out and you think its the right time for you to pick it up. The you observe the patterns in the tea. The patters closer to the outer ridge apparently mean what is going to happen soon. And meanings of sybomls can change depending how deep they are in the cup. I saw a woman howlding a rock or stick, which translated to a woman with a burden. This apparently means an abusive or negative relationship or marriage. A dog in the middle of a cup. I translated the meaning to - Being protective of this women in question but could not be trusted. Then i saw a scorpion which apparently meant, defense and self protection.
Noting that a dog at the rim of the cup meant helpful, trustworthy and loyal, where if it was at the base meant completeley untrustworthy and quite possibly evil.
I was very fascinated with these finding and have been musing over them the last couple of hours. And i will kep you up to date on my current investigation with this branch of divination.
I have also been quite caught up in life in the forums. I have recently joined Pagan Forum and have become more active on Black Cat Wicca. Tried to join Traditional Witch forums but mine has been mucking up. Ill re try again tommorrow, to tired tonight. But Pagan Forum and my friends at BCW, Both lovely forums with amazing people. The people on BCW have been so welcoming and i have made some lovely friends on there. I also have started up a twitter account as my old one was becoming a bit plagued and i felt a need to make a new fresh one. @LittleOwlShada if wishing to follow, would love you forever :)
