SOME EXAMPLE CUPS WITH THEIR INTERPRETATIONS
The following twenty illustrations are photographs of cups which on
various occasions have been turned by consultants and interpreted by a
seer. The student will find these of much practical value in learning
what symbols to look for, and how to discern them clearly as the cup is
turned about in the hand.
The divination of each cup should be carefully studied with its
illustration; by this means the student will be enabled to grasp the
principles upon which to form a judgment of the cup as a whole.
Having mastered this, the knowledge gained can be supplemented by
reference to the alphabetical Dictionary of Symbols and Their Meanings
in the previous chapter.
To study the illustrations and their descriptions correctly, the former
must be turned about and about until each symbol has been identified.
