                                  The Art of Tea Leaf Reading - A Tempest in a Teacup?


Yes, I know that many people today claim this, but my Granny really DID read tea leaves and taught me how.  It is one of my most cherished memories of childhood; sitting by the coal fire with her old Brown Betty teapot near by, waiting in anticipation for the tea to brew. It was also one of the few times that I actually got to drink out of a “proper” china cup; they were patterned with a delicate violet flowers and were given to her when she married in 1907. I was very moved to inherit them from her when she passed on to that great tea party in the sky….

Tasseography, sometimes called tasseomancy, is technically a branch of divination where patterns or symbols made by tea leaves in a cup are interpreted. Not a science and not new, it probably developed in China, but it has also been associated with the Eastern European “gypsies”, the Scots, the Irish. Although enjoying a resurgence in New Age and metaphysical philosophy, it is also just plain fun and provides wonderful entertainment at a tea party on a cold afternoon with friends.
