Tea Leaf Divination
Written by Mystikia It is known that this method of divination was practiced in China long before the habit of drinking tea spread to other countries.
This is one of the more simple forms of divination, as it takes just minutes to do. Make up the tea ( you can still use a tea-bag, just cut it open & use the leaves! ), & use a white cup, if you have one. When the subject ( or yourself ) has drunk as much of the as is possible, tell them to take the cup in their left hand & swirl the remains round three times towards the heart.
Place the cup upside down on a saucer. take the cup in your own hands & study the pattern that is left. If a trace of liquid is left in the cup, then you can forecast that there will be tears before the end of the week, but if there is none, then there will be sudden good news! The tea-leaves can make themselves into many different shapes. Concentrate on any shapes that you see. If you see a number, then that usually denotes a period of time, (1 would mean either 1 day, 1 week, 1 month etc. )
If you find a ring with a number, then a wedding will take place within that time frame. If the tea-leaf formations are towards the top of the cup, then a predicted event will happen soon. If they are at the bottom, then months or even years may pass before they happen. Look out for any letters that you see, as these give indication to the initials of someone whom may be involved.
