Tea Leaf Reading Meanings

Tasseography, or tasseomancy, is the conscious act of divining the future or reading spirit messages in the form of images left behind in a cup by loose tea leaves.

The interpretation of these images in cups is a beautiful dance between the reader and the spirit. The reader takes the symbols that appear and tells the story the spirit needs to share.

In my book: you will learn receive in-depth instructions on how to perform Tasseography, the history and folklore of tea, what different blends can mean for your readings, as well as what types of spoons to use to add more spiritual energy to your session.
