Hi Sahar,
I have a few questions regarding coffee cup readings. I
accidentally
wrote my questions as a comment elsewhere but I hope to reach you via
email.
My first questions is regarding cup sizes. I read the answer you
gave
someone regarding the size of the coffee cup. My mother reads coffee
cups and
she is quite fantastic. More often than not, what she says comes true.
We used
to always do readings using the traditional straight side cups. But my
mother's
sight started getting worse some time ago so we have begun using tea
cups (not
mugs) instead because the mouth is a bit wider and she can see better.
Does that
skew the symbols by a lot?
Secondly, I read somewhere on the
website
that we are to drink the coffee, put the saucer on top, flip, shake, and
let
drain. That is not how Georgians (country, not state) do it. We tend to
drink
the coffee and then pour half in a direction facing us (this denotes the
past)
and the second half away from us (the symbols on this side indicate the
future).
Furthermore, for us, there is a section that indicates relatives and
their
futures. Is all this wrong or is it simply a form of reading that
developed in
that part of the world?
Thirdly, because of the way we pour,
sometimes we
see a line forming on the outside of the cup. The longer the line, the
longer
the trip we will take. For example, I live in New York City and am
planning a
trip to New Hampshire at the end of this month. For the last few weeks,
every
time I drink coffee, there is a small line that forms outside the cup.
We have
interpreted that as indicating my trip.
And lastly, sometimes my
cup is
extremely dark. My mother interprets that as a lot of worry coming my
way. Is
that what it indicates?
My apologies for the long letter.
Thank
you very much,
Sophie
hello Sophie,
thank you for writing in.
Did you read my book? I addressed these common issues in it.
Briefly, about size, the reply is really form my own personal experience,
that yes the larger the cup is, the more differently the symbols are formed. of
course you will see symbols, but to me they were !different" symbols and not as
clear. Perhaps one can read the symbol in a different way. Normally, I take very
small symbols to make up a more detailed story of the cup is trying to say. You
can still look at large symbols and the general outlook of the cup, this will
give you an over all indication.
Dark grounds are simply dark grounds- too much coffee. Although
traditionally, in our part of the world they used to say it is worry, or envy
too! I simply do not think it is because this is how coffee is formed in a cup-
you also have to think of the dynamic properties of fluid!
Long lines yes journeys.
Flipping it half way to the heart- and to the opposite side, up to you
really. It is just my way that I found to work for me all the time. Keep it
simple: swirl it few times, then flip it towards the heart.
Remember, I have suggested a template of what worked for me, but of course
you can also use your template, which is one side represents the past and the
other relatives and so on. keep practicing and see what works for you. that is
what is great about reading coffee grounds- we can each start with a base and
develop our onw style and method of what works.
All the best to you and to your mum- keep the tradition alive!
