The Art of Tasseography
-
The Idea
Tasseography is an ancient form of divination from the East using the dregs of tea. This is a domestic form of divination that is steeped in history. It is done by the querant drinking a cup of loose-leaf tea while asking a question to the reader. The reader will then perform the ritual of reading the symbols left in the cup using the leaves and the negative space. The starting cost is $35 a person, and there is a travel fee for gatherings outside of Clarksville TN.

The Process
At your gathering, a semi-private to private space will be prepared. Electricity and water are required. The readings are done with black tea. This can be plain or mixed with other herbs and will be supplied by me. l will take each person one-on-one for a 20-minute reading. Their questions and answers are confidential. They will leave with their tea cup and any additional tea not used.

Tea Leaf Reading Group Class
Tea leaf reading classes consist of learning a bit of the history and various methods. I will perform a group reading and then each person will get a chance to do their own reading as well. I will help each person look through their cup and break down the process. Depending on the size of the group, this class can last from 1-3 hours. The starting cost is $50 a person and there is a travel fee for gatherings outside of Clarksville, TN.
