      "There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot be much diminished by a nice cup of tea."

      Bernard-Paul Heroux

      Chapter 1: Tasseography

      Pictures in a cup

      The word Tasseography comes from the French word tasse (cup) and the Greek word graph (which refers to drawing or pictures). So Tasseography simply means pictures in a cup.

      Tea leaf reading, or Tasseography, is a method of divination that involves interpreting the meanings of images and symbols that appear in the tea leaves remaining in a cup after the tea has been consumed. Similar divination methods include looking at the images produced by flames in a fire, by throwing pebbles on sand, or by dropping hot wax into cold water. In many ancient cultures it was customary to look for signs and symbols predicting future events by examining the entrails of slaughtered animals.

      Ancient Romans practiced a similar form of divination which involved interpreting the sediment left on the bottom of an empty wine cup. But before you decide that reading wine sounds like more fun than reading tea leaves keep in mind that this method of divination only worked back in the days when there actually was sediment left in the bottom of the glass. Our modern methods of filtering wine mean that there is nothing left in the bottom of the glass to read.

      Reading coffee grounds

      In cultures where coffee is the primary beverage of choice, such as the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Latin America, people developed methods of reading the coffee grounds. To read coffee grounds you simply brew coffee using ground coffee beans without a filter, and when you pour the cup of coffee you allow some of the grounds to pour into the cup.

      Tea leaves and coffee grounds are simply tools. There is no magic in the tools themselves. Regardless of which tool you use, the method is pretty much the same. The reader sees an image and then interprets what that symbol means.

      It is not quite as easy as it sounds, it takes some practice because first the reader must recognize the images, then interpret the meaning of each of the images and then combine the meanings into a logical message. This requires imagination and intuition. Imagination allows the reader to see the images, and then intuition guides you to the correct interpretation.

      Use your imagination

      The imagination part is the difficult part for most people. The first time you look into a tea cup your initial thought is that all you see is a blob of tea leaves. The key is to relax, have a little fun, and let the images flow.

      Do you remember lying on the grass looking up at the clouds as a child? Small children have such wonderful imaginations that they immediately begin to see pictures in the clouds. However, we soon learn to suppress our imaginations in order to fit in at school and in society. The key to tea leaf reading is to release the imaginative child inside of you.

      What do you see?

      In the above picture there are 8 different images. Do you see them? Don’t read any further until you have found at least 2 different images. You know the images are in there, it is just a matter of relaxing and they will jump out at you.

      Don’t worry, this isn’t a test. There is no correct answer. A hundred different people can look at this abstract image and see a hundred different images.

      Actually, this exercise was just a trick. There is nothing special about this picture, I did not insert any special images. I created a random bunch of cloud like shapes in a few minutes with the airbrush tool in photoshop. The point was to show you that if you tell yourself that the images are there, if you expect to see something, you will begin to see them.

      Where are these ideas coming from?

      We all have intuition. The only difference between someone who considers themselves to be psychic and someone who doesn’t, is that the psychic has learned to listen to and trust their intuition.

      Exactly what intuition is, and where the information comes from is difficult to prove conclusively. I think that it is likely that sometimes we are accessing information that is stored somewhere in the dark recesses of our mind, the result of our own past experiences or things we have read, but something we do not consciously remember.

      Sometimes we are simply reading the body language and the energy around the person that we are reading for. This is the explanation that most skeptics prefer, suggesting that this is some sort of cheating. I have accentuated the word simply because it is not quite as simple as most skeptics would have you believe. Regardless, if the reader is sincere and is in no way attempting to manipulate or defraud anyone, and if the message received in this way benefits the person you are reading for, then I don’t think it really matters where the information came from.

      But often the information definitely comes from outside of us. Things we could not possibly know. Where does it come from? There seems to be a universal consciousness, superconscious mind, or universal mind that each of us can access. I think that this is where most inventions or other great ideas come from, which explains why two people who have had no contact with one another, who live on opposite sides of the world will come up with the same invention at the same time.

      Everyone has at one time or another had a really good idea for
