I recently discovered the book Telling Fortunes by Tea Leaves written by Cicely Kent in 1922. This non-copyrighted text is available in ebook format as a free download at Project Gutenberg.
Kent advises beginner seers to "keep calm, open mind, and do not be in a hurry...." He also says "The gift of imagination is of the greatest possible importance in discerning the symbols which are of such endless shapes and variety."
Telling Fortunes by Tea Leaves also includes an extensive dictionary of symbols... a few examples:
BACON - Pieces of bacon signify good luck and profitable business.
EAR - A large ear shows you will be shocked by hearing some scandal or abuse; a normal ear means that you receive some interesting and pleasant piece of news or valuable information.
HAMMER - Troublesome little tasks which you are reluctant to undertake.
PAGODA - Foreign travels.
STAR - A lucky sign; if surrounded by dots, wealth and honour are foretold.
If you would like to practice divining tea leaves, peer into Danni's teacup, and see if you can interpret her leaf markings. Danni wants to know about her future love life. Danni sent me a photo of the inside of her teacup yesterday and is anxiously awaiting reader input. But don't stop there, there are few other teacups that were posted previously that you can also take a peek at and share your insights. Have fun!
If you are like me and enjoy browsing older occult texts Telling Fortunes by Tea Leaves is a true treasure. Another older text I discovered recently and downloaded for free is Palmistry for All by Cheiro.
