#coffee reading

Leerlo no es el único el arte, también lo es prepararlo 😶‍🌫️

Saber escoger el molido, medirlo bien y prepararlo correctamente para que espume y el asiento quede de forma correcta

How do I prepare it?

The coffee should be roasted over low heat. We pour the coffee into the kettle with the water, mix it and as soon as it’s ready serve it in a cup. Before you drink your coffee you ask the question to which you want an answer. After drinking it, you turn the cup in a circle two or three times to dissolve the sediment and then turn it upside down on the saucer, where you will leave it until the coffee dries - about 5 minutes. Now you are ready to "read"!

Usually, before turning the cup over, the coffee lady will say the name of the person concerned and the name of their mother.

How do I know the time of the events I am seeing?

The information of the cup is valid for about a year and depending on the position of the symbol inside the cup we can understand how close or far the event is. The closer to the rim the symbol is, the sooner what we see will happen: it could be today or up to 2-3 weeks. As you read downwards, the time that the events will appear also moves away. At the bottom are the most distant events, which can be up to 11-12 months away. We start the reading from the side that is the handle, following the direction of the clock. The symbols near the handle represent events that may happen immediately, while as we cycle through the reading the events move away in time. The symbols that appear to the left of the handle are from the past. The side of the cup on which the handle is located corresponds to our personal life, while the opposite side corresponds to social life and the unexpected.

Meanings of different symbols:

The clearer the symbols, the more good fortune awaits you. If they are not clearly visible, then difficulties and obstacles await you.

Coffee Reading by Sage Aune

There’s so many different symbols and catalogues of meanings you see when first starting… and not all of them may line up. But that’s not a problem to be worried about.

If you’re just starting to preform readings i’d suggest picking between using a clear divination cup or one that already has its own symbols.

If you choose the former I suggest finding a long base list of associations to use, or if you’re more comfortable freehand a list of associations but mind you I’d encourage it to be long because in the moment associations can be more about what we want and less about reality.

If you choose the latter be ready to research the cup and practice you’ve chosen.
