The art or reading tea-leaves is called Tasseography and it goes back thousands of years to ancient China when tea was first drunk. The practice developed when tea drinkers started to interpret the shapes of the tea leaves that were left in the bottom of their cups and they found they could predict the future from this. I have never given a reading using the tea leaves as most of the time I give a psychic tarot reading over the telephone or in person.
I do sometimes give a psychic tarot reading in person when someone wants to come and see me or if they want me to go out to them. I do enjoy doing regular party plan readings where there are a group of women gathered together for an evening of psychic tarot reading. When I was at school I was introduced to a lady who read the tea leaves, I got to know her because we were sent to help the elderly in their homes as part of a community program.
This lady was well known in the area for reading the tea leaves and I spent a lot of time with her. I would look into the tea leaves and wonder how on earth she could get so much information from them. I would secretly wish she would give me her powers and although I never asked for this directly from her, I do believe this lady had a great impact on my spiritual evolvement. I was invited to go to the spiritualist church in London with this lady and I really enjoyed going there with her, she was part of a little community there and I quickly made friends.
I was not able to go as often as I would have liked, and I realize now that I was to develop my psychic ability independent from the spiritualist church. Night after night I would practice putting playing cards out and guessing which card would come next and I was starting to get them right. I would also do abstract art where I would just draw a picture of what came into my mind, and then I would do an interpretation on the pictures. I eventually bought a pack of tarot cards and I would look at the cards and go with my first instincts about what I could pick up from the cards.
When doing a psychic tarot reading you are thinking in pictures and the emphasis is on going with what you feel rather than what you think. This was the hardest part of learning to do a psychic tarot reading because like most people my mind was trained to think logically. It took a lot of practice and eventually through meditation and learning from other psychics I was able to perform some of the most amazing psychic tarot readings.
