If you told somebody in this day and age that you believe your future can be viewed from the bottom of your coffee mug or tea cup they would probably say!'you can what?' But don't worry; they would certainly think you are crazy. The funnier part is that people have actually embraced tea leaf reading as a believable fortune telling ritual for hundreds of years. This is probably due to the fact that psychiatrists weren't around to prescribe medications for delusions or flat out stupidity. 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 real a practice like this is, I mean come on, people still thought the world was flat. So who could to say that the left over useless 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 view it as something of a hobby or social session for fun, not somebody who uses it to 'see the future' or has Ms. Cleo on speed dial. If you won't be biting off your fingernails during the preparation process because you just can't wait 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 room to relax in and serve some hot tea. Take a few moments to take in the pleasant aroma and sip the tea while having healthy conversation. For giggles, you can leave half of a sip in your cup to mix around and see 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 'destiny will bring you'.
