Mystical Techniques: Tea Leaves

Tasseomancy is the term given to the art of interpreting patterns within tea leaves, wine sediments, or coffee grounds. It is considered that the grounds closest to the rim symbolize the nearest future while those closest to the bottom are considered to be in the more distant future.

Instructions for tea leaf reading are below:

1. Begin by calming your body and mind and make a pot of tea with loose tea leaves. As you sip your tea, think of a question and concentrate on it. For your first try, try a simple one.

2. When there is barely any tea left, turn cup counter clockwise three wise and cover with saucer then tip upside down to allow all liquid to drain out onto the saucer.

3. Look into the cup to reveal the remaining leaves and shapes that have emerged. Read in a spiral motion from the inside towards the outside.

Little is known about their lifestyle and tend to appear only when blizzards or freezing temperatures have forced mountaineers from the higher altitudes.
