Fortune telling by coffee star. Predicting the future with coffee beans and a porcelain cup

Almost everyone has probably heard about fortune telling with coffee, but few know how to tell fortunes using coffee grounds. The history of this method goes back to Italy in the 18th century. Despite the age of the ritual, the methodology for carrying it out has hardly changed. As before, to find out his fate, the fortuneteller will need a Turk, pure water, fire and coffee. The cup and saucer should be porcelain, preferably in light colors and without a pattern, so that the resulting figures can be more accurately examined and interpreted.

Initiates recommend brewing a fortune-telling drink at the rate of two tablespoons of coarsely ground coffee and one spoon of finely ground coffee per cup. The mixture is poured with water, boiled in a Turk or coffee pot and poured into a mug, allowed to stand for about 3-5 minutes and drunk, leaving a little liquid at the bottom about the size of a tablespoon.

Then, repeating to yourself the question of interest, actively rotate the cup clockwise three times and turn it over on the saucer. Having slowly counted to seven, you can begin to interpret the resulting figures on the coffee grounds.

An important role in the interpretation of figures is their location on the cup. Those that are closer to the edge mean the near future; the further to the bottom, the longer it will take for events to be clarified in the process of fortune telling. The area of ​​the pen symbolizes the one who is telling fortunes and what is happening to him now. Figures located from left to right should be read as approaching events, and those located from right to left as something that is already leaving or will soon disappear from the life of the fortuneteller. If the general background turns out to be too dark, then everything in a person’s soul and thoughts is unclear and not very positive, but if there are more light tones, then life ahead is joyful and happy. When deciphering fortune telling, remember that full picture can be made by drawing an associative series of at least five figures. The meanings must be combined and then understood general meaning

This aphorism belongs to the ancient Greek writer Lucian of Samosata. There is, of course, some truth in these words, but man is such an interesting creature who always strives to look into the future. Most often just for the sake of curiosity.

So why not find out your destiny by?

For fortune telling, you need to prepare real ground coffee and pour it into a white or light cup. Before you start drinking it, formulate a question or make a wish. Then drink the coffee, leaving some liquid at the bottom. Take the cup to left hand and, focusing on your question or desire, shake the grounds in a circular motion three times. Women need to do this counterclock-wise, and for men - clockwise. The sediment should be distributed along the walls. Now cover the cup with a saucer, turn it upside down and let it sit for a few minutes.

You can start the fortune telling itself. Now take a look inside. Here are some tips for interpreting figures:

1. The most important symbols are located near the handle attachment point, less important ones are on the opposite side of the cup.

2. The figures to the left of the handle (in the “away” position) have a negative meaning, and to the right - a positive one.

3. If the figure is looking towards the handle, then it directly affects your life, if in the opposite direction - indirectly, indirectly.

4. The symbols at the top rim of the cup speak of the present, and those closer to the bottom speak of the distant future.

5. The figures at the bottom of the cup indicate events that will happen no earlier than in a year.

6. Coffee in a cup shows the future, and coffee in a saucer shows the past.

Look at the shapes in the next direction- from the edge of the cup to the center of the bottom, then horizontally from left to right, then from right to left, bottom and middle, and then you can turn to the saucer. Interpret the symbols collectively, that is, you don’t need to look at individual figures, try to look at the picture as a whole.
