FORTUNE-TELLING BY GROUNDS IN A TEACUP
Pour your tea into a white cup and drain off the liquid, leaving the
grounds in the cup. Shake them well so as to spread them over as much
of the surface as possible. They will form groups of imaginary figures,
and the fortune-teller must exercise ingenuity to discover in these
figures resemblances to familiar things. To the inexpert eye there may
be nothing but detached particles of tea, but to the chiromancer it
will be easy to find familiar forms.
Long wavy lines are interpreted as meaning loss and trouble.
The more lines there are, the greater their influence.
Straight lines indicate long life and peace.
Circles indicate that money will soon be received, but if they are
connected by straight lines, there will be a delay.
