Tasseography

•Tea leaf reading•

You might be wondering where this unusual form of divination came from, so here’s a short history on tasseography. Shortly after tea was introduced to Europe, tea leaf reading, as it’s now recognized, was born. Similar divination tools had been used with an assortment of other materials. The art of tea leaf reading spread through Europe, and is now practiced throughout the world.

Doing a tea leaf reading involves you indulging in a delicious cup of tea and putting your sharp intuitive skills to work. After you enjoy your warm cup of loose leaf tea, you’ll leave the loose tea leaves at the bottom, where some of these leaves will form symbols, each having their own meaning. That’s where your keen intuitive abilities come in! Anyone can see a triangle at the bottom of a teacup, but your job is to intuit what it means for you or the person you’re reading for.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR A TEA LEAF READING

Tea cup with a wide brim that’s light enough to easily see your tea leaves.

Saucer

Loose leaf green or black tea, preferably organic.

Napkins

Pen and paper

Water

HOW TO PERFORM A TEA LEAF READING

1. BREW YOUR TEA

Gather all of your materials. Boil your water. Place about a teaspoon of loose tea in your cup. Pour your water in and steep tea to your preference.

For the next 3 steps, if you’re doing a reading for someone else, have them do the following steps.

2. SIP & SWIRL

Before you take your first sip, gently swirl tea counter clockwise three times. Sip and enjoy your tea, but don’t drink it all! When there’s about 1 tablespoon of tea left in your cup, swirl it again 3 times counter clockwise and think about or speak your query aloud.

3. CREATE YOUR TEA READING CANVAS

Turn your cup upside down onto your saucer to remove the remaining water, allow it a minute or so to drain, then turn it back up right.

4. LOOK FOR SYMBOLS

Look over your loose leaf tea pieces and see if any symbols or shapes jump out to you immediately. Don’t fret if you don’t see anything immediately, similar to scrying with a crystal ball, it can take some time for imagery to form for you. Try looking at the inside of the cup from different directions to see shapes. Keep in mind the images formed are formed from tea leaves, so you will really need to use your imagination.

5. RECORD & DECIPHER YOUR FINDINGS

If you do start to see some shapes, begin writing them down on your piece of paper so you can decipher them later, note where in the cup they are too. Now you’re ready to decipher your findings! Here’s a guide for the most common symbols found during tea leaf readings:

6. UNDERSTAND THE TIMELINE

Where your tea leaves are situated in your cup relate to when they will happen. This is why some of the tea leaf reading cups you find have circles inside of them. Timing is broken into thirds as follows:

Bottom third: farthest away from happening, think 3-5 years out.

Top third: will be happening in the near future, think within the next few weeks.

Middle third: will happen in about a year from now.

7. FORM YOUR READING

Like most divination tools, a honed intuition is key for success, so be sure to lean on any gut instincts as you form the story for your reading. Once you understand the meaning behind the symbols it’s time to put all of the information into a story that makes sense for you or the person you’re doing a reading for.

🌙

Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you’ll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter. Most people make too much of it. On these grounds a good fuck is not to be entirely scorned. But that’s the result of a chance meeting too. You’re damned right. Drink up. We’ll have another.

Shakshuka

I’m the kind of person that can eat breakfast at any time of day. It’s something that my mom teases me about pretty frequently. I don’t care if it’s cereal, pancakes or scrambled eggs, I’ll probably eat it for dinner. But my favorite brinner (breakfast and dinner) option off all time is Shakshuka.

Rich, savory and filling, Shakshuka is my go-to option for a healthy breakfast meal. It’s filled to the brim with veggies and killer seasonings, so I never feel bad when I come back for seconds. This version is also vegetarian friendly, so my veg heads celebrate!

Ingredients:

1 Loaf of bread 

6 Eggs

2 Cans of tomato sauce

5 Tomatoes

3 Bell peppers ( Red, yellow or orange)

2 Zucchini

2 Yellow Squash

1 Pkg of Mushrooms

1 Onion

3 Garlic cloves

1/4Tbsp Butter

2 Tbsp Salt

2 Tbsp Pepper

2 Tbsp Cumin

1 Tbsp Paprika

Directions:

*Note: I usually chop all of my ingredients beforehand so that I can just drop them all in the skillet at the same time.

Put butter, garlic and onion in pan and saute until fragrant.

Add mushrooms, bell peppers. 

After bell peppers have softened up a bit, add your squash and zucchini

Put a lid on the pan and let the veggies sit for a while until everything has softened

Add tomatoes and tomato sauce

Add all of your spices into the dish, making sure to stir well. 

Put the lid back on the pan, turn the flame on low and wait until the tomatoes reduce into a sauce. 

After the tomatoes have reduced, poach the eggs until your satisfaction.

Serve with fresh bread and enjoy!
