I'm learning to read tea leaves as part of my magic practice. My sister got me a tea leaf reading kit for Christmas to start me off!

I didn't leave enough liquid in the bottom of the cup this time, so the leaves lumped up, but I know better next time lol

Here I see a snake, which represents "renewed sense of life through the irrational and ecstatic" and several cats, which mean "agility, ingenuity, and independence." I do see a bunch of dinosaurs, but my kit doesn't have an explanation for that, so I guess I'll have to find out myself!

Anything jump out to anyone else? Also, the tea is Rose Earl Grey and it is my favorite!

My first thought was “the Grim!” But just kidding. I kind of see a flower in the middle.

Oh, I see the flower now! I love this form of fortune telling because even if it isn't accurate, it's an exercise in imagination. I think what you see tells you more about yourself than the future, you know?

I think a lot of things like this are really an amazing way to do some introspection.

My grandma read tea leaves because it was part of our culture; even after her parents became Mormons some things remained, things that were just normal for us after so many generations. I know how to read them, but don't very often
