If the pattern on the walls of the cup is light, transparent and openwork, this is a good sign.

What a novice sorceress needs to know: features of the ritual

There are no clear rules and dogmas that should be followed when guessing on coffee grounds. Over time, each sorceress develops her own ritual of divination. But there are general recommendations.

For fortune telling, take a light bowl and a plain saucer, without drawings or patterns.
There are two types of natural coffee – coarse and fine grind. This is necessary so that the resulting pattern is in relief.
Water for one drink.
Turku. Coffee is prepared there for divination.

The drink is brewed either by the questioner (magician) or by the assistant. The coffee is poured into a cup, allowed to cool, and the question they want answered is loudly and clearly formulated.

A tasty, aromatic drink should be drunk, and the grounds should be left at the bottom.

Fortune tellers say that three to five clearly defined symbols are enough for divination. Then the result will be reliable, and fortune telling will be effective.

Everything you need for fortune telling using coffee grounds

It is better to practice fortune telling on coffee grounds in solitude. Try not to let anything distract you and the questioner from the process. Do not tell fortunes in a cafe or in a large and noisy company. You cannot reduce the ritual to a game or a joke - the answer to the question will be incorrect, the information will be distorted, and the meaning of working with the magic drink will be lost.

Preparation

To prepare the drink, use coffee beans. Fry if the grains are not yet conditioned, and grind according to generally accepted rules, but so that the grind is not very coarse. Alternatively, you can use store-bought ground coffee, but not granulated or freeze-dried. Cook the resulting powder in a Turk, if possible, over an open fire. Do not add sugar, milk or lemon. The cup and saucer itself should be smooth, without ribbed surfaces.

Peculiarities

How to correctly interpret drawings in a cup

The main thing is to see the entire pattern. Isolate the main one from the many details, geometric shapes and symbols and work with it. The second stage is to understand that this particular figure is yours. She will tell you about the future, reveal prospects and warn about upcoming problems:

spots and symbols in the middle of the walls of the cup are events relating to the present time;
if the pattern is located along the bottom and on the lower wall of the vessel, this is not a very good sign;
the pattern that stretches to the handle will tell about the inner world, aspirations and desires of the fortuneteller;
the image located counterclockwise is something that will forever leave the life of the questioner;
the thicket swirling clockwise is the near future.

A little history of the drink

The Ethiopians were the first to prepare an invigorating drink. In any case, this is what is commonly believed - there is no reliable evidence. From Ethiopia, the tradition later migrated to Egypt and spread throughout the Middle and Near East. The Arabs called the drink “qahwa” - “dispelling sleep”.

The first official mention of coffee in historical sources dates back to the fifteenth century. It was only by the seventeenth century that it gained popularity in Europe. Around the same time, the drink began to be drunk in Russia, and in 1740 the first coffee house was opened. The Old Believers immediately ranked coffee as a demonic drink - on a par with tea. Believers felt the same way about tobacco. Innovations in general were poorly received in Rus', especially those that contributed to bodily joys. However, this did not prevent the spread of coffee fashion. The volume of imports soon grew so much that prices fell, and not only the rich could afford to drink an invigorating morning cup of drink.

Familiar symbols: the most common patterns

It is easiest to work with simple and understandable symbols - numerical designations, objects, plant or animal patterns.

It happens that coffee sediment is intricately woven into letters of the alphabet. The task of the soothsayer is to see the sign and, at the level of associations and intuition, understand how it will affect fate.

The question should be asked clearly and clearly. Vague and vague formulations mislead magical instruments and the fortuneteller. The answer will be as vague as the question.

If the grounds formed a heart symbol

The symbolism of most types of fortune telling is similar. So, arrows or peaks usually mean blows of fate or problems, and hearts - love relationships and new acquaintances.

Depending on the wording of the question, the age and gender of the questioner, a heart at the bottom of a coffee cup can mean several things.

easy, non-committal flirting;
the beginning of new romantic relationships;
confession of feelings and proposal to enter into legal marriage;
new relationships outside the family (lover or mistress).

These predictions are only true if the heart resulting from the coffee grounds is clearly defined and clearly visible.

If it is divided into two halves, foggy, vague and unclear, this can mean problems in your personal life, resentment, betrayal and disappointment.

Pay attention to the position of the heart in relation to the bottom and walls of the bowl. If it's written straight, you don't have to worry. Reversed - trouble awaits you. In some cases, the changed position of the sign symbolizes empty dreams, daydreams and fantasies that have no basis in reality.

If the grounds have formed the outline of a tree

Plant motifs and patterns are a separate topic in fortune telling on coffee grounds. In general, the sign of a tree with a clearly drawn crown and roots is a good omen. It all depends on what the question was and what the questioner puts into the symbol, its associations, aspirations and aspirations.

If you see a tree at the bottom of a cup, pay attention to the details surrounding it:

Pay attention to the location of the sign. If a tree is visible at the bottom of the vessel, then you will have to fight for happiness. There will be obstacles on the way of the questioner.

If the tree is located on the walls of the bowl, think about family. This is a sign that when choosing a path, you should consult with your immediate environment and not make a decision alone.

Coffee grounds in the shape of a dragon

The intricate patterns sometimes resemble the outline of a mythical creature popular in European and Chinese culture, the dragon. On the one hand, this is a good sign, which says that the problems will soon be resolved. On the other hand, the dragon is a multi-valued image. It all depends on who is being told the fortune and what question is asked.

If the person asking is a business person, then the appearance of the symbol promises profit and good dividends. But if the dragon appears in a crisis situation, then you need to be wary: perhaps the offer your partners came to you with is dubious.

The power of Slavic traditions

Long before the advent of Christianity, a completely different religion reigned in the Slavic lands - paganism. The Orthodox Church never managed to completely defeat and eliminate pagan beliefs, even after many centuries of struggle. They are still strong among the people today. Some people renounce Orthodoxy altogether, calling themselves the children of Perun and Lado; other believers (the majority of them) combine Christian and pagan traditions, without really thinking about the contradiction.

Such examples include divination and fortune telling on holidays. For example, in the winter before Christmas, girls and boys tell fortunes about their betrothed. Orthodox believers predict the weather on the Feast of the Intercession of the Virgin Mary based on the weather. And they even guess with cards and drinking coffee all year round, although both of them came to our lands already in the era of Christianity.
