If you uttered to somebody nowadays that you think 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 certainly contemplate your sanity. The funnier part is that people have actually embraced tea leaf reading as a believable fortune telling ritual for centuries. This is probably due to the fact that psychiatrists were not administering psych evaluations and tossing out prescriptions to take care of delusions of stupidity at its finest. Tea leaf reading have origins leading back to primarily China and other parts of Asia. In ancient times it isn't all that hard to believe that well minded people could be sucked into this practice because there wasn't a window such as the internet or television to post in your face how bizarre and unlikely to be true a practice like this is, I mean come on, people still thought the world was flat. So who was 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 gathering should be done only by people that are less than gullible and see it as something of a hobby or social gathering, not somebody who uses it to 'see the future' or has Ms. Cleo on speed dial. If you won't be ripping out your hair 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 breaths to take in the pleasant aroma and slowly sip the tea while having healthy conversation. For giggles, you can leave a little tea in your cup to mix 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 'fate has in store for you'.
