Storm in a Teacup?

November 05, 2007

John D. from Aberdeen: "How does a coffee grounds reading actually work and where did this method of divination originate?"

The reading of coffee grounds is based on an oriental tradition whereby after drinking a cup of “mocha” the cup is inverted so that the grounds can be used to find answers to a current personal situation. To start with, the cup is tilted to distribute the coffee grounds around the sides. In a similar way to the card reader, the coffee grounds reader uses a particular system of interpretation, which may have been traditionally handed down through the generations of the family. The cup’s inner surface is often divided into sections in the mind’s eye, e.g. personality, relationship, business affairs, family, money. The coffee grounds are examined for certain patterns (waves, blots, etc.) – these are interpreted whilst taking into account the shape of the patterns in the respective sections.
