It's Tea Time

If you uttered to somebody nowadays that you believe your destiny can be viewed from the left-overs of your coffee mug or tea cup they would probably say!'you can what?' But rest assured; they would definitely contemplate your sanity. The crazier part is that people have actually accepted tea leaf reading as a believable fortune telling ritual for centuries. This is probably due to the fact that psychiatrists weren't around to prescribe medications for delusions or flat out stupidity.

Tea leaf readings originated in Asia and spread primarily from China. In ancient times it isn't all that hard to believe that well minded people could be suckered into this practice because there wasn't a window such as the internet or television to help you see how bizarre and unlikely to be true a practice like this is, I mean after all, people still thought the world was flat. So who could to say that the left over tasteless crap at the bottom of your cup wasn't a window to the universe? At the very most a tea leaf reading session should be done only by those that are less than gullible and view it as something of a hobby or social session for fun, not somebody who uses it to 'see the future' or has Ms. Cleo on speed dial.

If you won't be biting off your fingernails during the preparation process because you just can't contain yourself to find out what lays ahead on the road of life for you, then by all means you should invite some friends over, boil some water and throw some loose tea leaves in without the use of a strainer, and find a comfy environment to relax in and serve some hot tea.

Take a few moments to take in the pleasant aroma and sip the tea while engaging in healthy conversation. For giggles, you can leave half of a sip in your cup to swirl around and observe where the tea leaves settle. With very little light-hearted research you can find out the tea leaf meanings of the settled leaves and reveal what 'destiny will bring you'.
