Tasseography is a divination or fortune-telling method that interrogates patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds, or wine sediments. It derives from the French word tasse, which in turn derives from the cognate Arabic word tassa, and the Greek suffix -graph.Divination attempts to gain insight through intuitive interpretation.This is book collects interpretations of symbols I've heard and read about or seen used by readers, including my mother.You, as a reader, will develop your own vocabulary of the leaves. This is just a suggested starting-place.
