Description:
A Wisewoman's Book of Tea Leaf Reading presents a traditional approach to tasseography, the practice of interpreting patterns formed by tea leaves in the cup. Pat Barki explains a family method passed down through generations of wise women, with attention to preparing for a reading, maintaining focus and understanding the symbols and impressions that emerge.
The book combines practical instruction with the atmosphere of folk divination and the Old Religion, encouraging readers to build confidence through experience rather than follow rules without thought. It is an appealing guide for anyone interested in tea leaf reading, intuitive divination and domestic magical traditions.
A scarce Capall Bann title with strong appeal for collectors of practical divination, folk witchcraft and early 2000s pagan publishing.
