EGYPTIAN-STYLE TEA LEAF READINGS

http://www.oldwitchcraft.com/

To learn how to foretell the future and get answers and gain insight into your most urgent questions, Egyptian-style tea leaf reading is one scrying method that is a simple means of tapping into your intuition and developing confidence and imagination. It's easy to start and requires no special tools; only a cup of tea made from loose tea leaves is needed. Of course, you must drink the tea, as it is the configuration of the leaves at the bottom of the cup that is the object of divination.



When learning a new divination technique, I suggest getting a journal and writing down the time and date of your reading. This way, you can refer back to it after a period of time and re-evaluate your interpretations. This is particulalry useful when the situation surrounding the divination has changed.



In divination, your first gut reaction is the correct one. It is important to trust your intuition. Look at the leaves and go with your first instinct. Below is a list of symbols and their meanings.
