Hello Tom and hello everyone in this new year!
Well, actually, regarding the practice of reading coffee grounds, the belief is that each person leaves traces of themselves in their coffee cup through the way they hold the cup and drink. Traces of their past, their environment, and often their future.
Once the liquid part of the coffee has been drunk, place the saucer on top of the cup and turn it three times clockwise while thinking of a very dear wish. Then, turn the cup upside down, still with the saucer on top, toward yourself, and let it cool naturally. Once everything has cooled, lift the cup and begin to interpret the shapes and figures you recognize, starting from the heart of the cup and gradually moving in the direction you choose. Apart from interpreting the figures, with time and practice, a kind of mediumship develops that helps the reader go further in their interpretation. However, the context of the coffee grounds may be very different from the one the person asking for a reading is inquiring about. For example, someone may ask a question about their love life, but the grounds may well reflect a professional context or something else entirely. The cup reflects the state of mind of the person who drank the coffee, which may be entirely different from what they themselves are thinking about!
Finally, after reading the coffee grounds in the cup, the contents of the saucer are poured in, and the reading is concluded with the saucer, which generally represents the spiritual aspect of the person, more so than events.
I developed this reading of Marc for others, but I can never see anything in my own cup.
Regarding the site where I had found a virtual version, the problem is that it is not in French (nor in English). However, I will see if I can find one on a French-language site.
After all, since there are no “rules” of interpretation and very few complete books on this art, it would indeed be difficult to try to provide flawless definitions and interpretations.
I'll keep you posted, Tom!
Thank you for your interest & see you soon!
