tasseomancy
this is essentially a grimoire post that will be continually updated as I learn more about tasseomancy and go forward with learning and experience, but if it helps you, awesome!
keep in mind that my definitions for these symbols are my own. if they don’t line up with what you feel is true, or what is traditional, then go with what you deem correct! divination, and tasseomancy specifically, is subjective!
to perform tasseomancy:
1) make a cup of tea! preferably with loose leaves. focus on the question you wish to ask as you drink.
2) meditate. achieve as much mental clarity as possible for the time being and focus on a mantra/intention in your mind: “this reading will be as clear and accurate as possible.”
3) swirl the cup three times and flip it over onto a saucer or light surface to drain the tea. turn the cup back up and hold it in both hands. make note of what you see, and the placement of each symbol.
a guide to placements:
the current month should be facing directly outwards, with the third month being closest to your right hand, and the tenth month closest to your left. from the current month, they tick up to eleven months total going clockwise.
* not seen here-- directly over the handle represents yourself
alternatively, there are other cup techniques that can be used depending on the question asked. such as:
here, the relevance of the symbols in the leaves rely on what “ring” of concentration they lay on. the positivity or negativity of these symbols may also be determined by how close to the ***handle (i wrote rim on accident in the diagram) or the bottom of the cup they are.
alternatively, the closer to the rim the symbols are, the farther forward in time.
in addition, the concentration and orientation of the leaves may lead to a more accurate conclusion, such as:
closer to left hand - past concerns
closer to right hand - future concerns
concentration in bottom of cup - intense focus or stress
scattered, seemingly random cup - scattered energy or anxiety
well balanced concentration - stability, the correct path
symbols:
Crescent - receptivity, spirituality, introspection. “Look into yourself for the answer.”
Circle Segments - assimilation, two things becoming one, reunion.
Sum - beginning of something new, a segway, a good ending.
Fuller Circle Segment - near completion, growth, hard work coming to fruition
Motion/echo - something is trying to get your attention, something will be happening very soon, fast movement, communication
Bird facing west - good news in the next 2-4 months
Bird facing east - good news in the next 8-10 months
Bird facing north - good news in the current-1 months
Bird facing south - good news in the next 5-7 months
3 - this number could be relevant in some way
Fire - passion, fast movement, anger/resentment, lust
Water - intuition, calm, peacefulness, a period of rest
Bowl/Summer - The home, comfort, comfortable state of rest; big change or news in the summertime
Cup - celebration, joyous time, rewards
Aries/ram - strong emotions involved, passion, a fight
Orbit - magic is involved here somehow
