FORTUNE-TELLING BY GROUNDS IN A TEACUP
Pour your tea into a white cup and drain off the liquid, leaving the grounds in the cup. Shake them well so as to spread them over as much of the surface as possible. They will form groups of imaginary figures, and the fortune-teller must exercise ingenuity to discover in these figures resemblances to familiar things. To the inexpert eye there may be nothing but detached particles of tea, but to the chiromancer it will be easy to find familiar forms.
Long wavy lines are interpreted as meaning loss and trouble.
