For our first lesson, we will devot ourselves to reading the tea leaves. Tea Leaves have been known to show us signs that will help to interpret the future. It is also among one of the easiest methods used in Divination, which is why this will be our first lesson.
What I would like for you to do is to collect a teacup from the shelf, come to me, and I will fill it for you. Then sit down and drink until only the dregs remain. Swill these around the cup three times with your left hand, then turn the cup upside down on its saucer, wait for the last of the tea to drain away.
You will interpret the patterns using pages five and six of Unfogging The Future. You may partner up if you wish. If you have any questions, I'll be moving around to help you out.
At the end of class, wash out your cups in the sink (please don't mess with anything on your way over to the sink, no matter how "shiny" it may be) and place them back on the shelf.
Your homework on this lesson is this: I would like for you to draw the signs that you found in your cup, then identify the signs to the best of your ability, and add what you think the signs may represent for the future. There should be a total of fours signs on your parchment, as for each turn of your cup can show a different sign.
It is due in a week. Excuses will not be tolerated as that gives you plenty of time to finish this assingment.
By the way, after you've broken your first cup, do you mind if you use the pink ones? I'm rather fond of the blue patterned ones.
(Forum Members: All you have to really do is put the name of four signs and what you think they interpret for you)
The Signs You May Find:
Heart: Someone close to you may be in love with you; however this can be considered just family members, but most likely it is friends or admirers.
Acorn: A windfall, unexpected gold. It could also mean the loss of money as well.
Cross: Trials and suffering may be ahead of you
Sun: Great happiness may be in store for you
Moon: Great sadness may be in store for you
Falcon: Signs of a deadly enemy approaches
Club: A possible attack in your future
Skull: Possible danger in your path
The Grim: One of the most rarest sign, in the art of tea leaves, it might signify death, but it could also represent an unexpected change in your life. It looks like a spectral dog.
