Telling Fortunes By Tea Leaves: How to Read Your Fate in a Teacup
Kent, Cicely
Fortune-telling
WALKING STICK.--The arrival of a male visitor.
WALL.--A thick, high wall denotes many difficulties in your life, and
that much courage will be needed to overcome them.
WALLFLOWER.--This sign indicates the serious consideration of a new
plan.
WARMING PAN.--This is a sign of comfort in small things and domestic
peace.
WASPS.--These insects are significant of distress caused by the sharp
tongues of those around you.
WATER.--This is usually recognised by a clear space entirely free from
tea-leaves at the bottom of the cup.
WATER LILY.--This flower proclaims a declaration of love.
WEASEL.--This animal shows cunning, and points to the sly behaviour of
someone with whom you associate, and of whom you feel no suspicion.
WEATHERCOCK.--This is a sign that you feel incapable of making up your
mind definitely on any matter without first consulting each one with
whom you come in contact, and in the end you settle upon an entirely
different course of action.
WEDDING CAKE.--This proclaims a speedy and prosperous marriage.
WHALE.--A prediction of personal danger which may be averted if you are
cautious.
WHEEL.--This is symbolic of the wheel of fortune and foreshows a
prosperous career or an inheritance of wealth; a broken wheel predicts a
bad disappointment as to an expected increase of income or a legacy.
WHEELBARROW.--This sign foretells a visit to the country or a pleasant
renewal of friendship with those who live in it.
WHIP.--To a woman this sign foretells vexation and trials in her
marriage; for a man, it has much the same meaning, and severe
disappointment will befall him.
WICKET GATE.--A small incident leads up to an important future event.
WIDOW'S BONNET.--This sign must be read in connection with other
symbols; sometimes it foreshows grief and mourning, or if dots are round
it, that a sum of money or a legacy may be expected from a widow.
WINDMILL.--A sign that you may hope to succeed in a doubtful enterprise.
WINDOW.--An open window shows that you are regarded with favour by many;
a closed one means embarrassment.
WINE CUP.--Joy and realised ambition.
WITCH ON BROOM.--You will be reproved by some of your friends who
consider that your interest in psychic matters is dangerous, but later
on you will be able to prove to their satisfaction that no harm has come
to it.
WITNESS BOX.--With bad signs around it, this would point to a personal
matter ending in a law court; otherwise, it denotes the taking place of
a trial in which you will feel special interest.
WOLF.--Beware of an avaricious and hard-hearted neighbour or friend.
WOMAN CARRYING A BURDEN.--An unhappy marriage or unfortunate love
affair.
WOMAN CARRYING A CHILD.--This shows distress, sometimes illness of
someone dear to you, or sadness through separation.
WOMAN HOLDING A MIRROR.--Clairvoyance and prediction of the future are
signified by this symbol.
WOMEN.--With bad signs, several women mean scandal; otherwise, society.
