It is extremely important to brew coffee correctly. Well-ground coffee is mixed with sugar, poured with cold water and brought to a boil over low heat, but do not boil. In this case, a layer of thick foam forms on top.

Swirl the coffee grounds around the bottom until it coats the bottom. Tip the cup onto the saucer, allowing the coffee to spread and tell your fortune. After a few minutes, when the water has drained and only semi-dry grounds remain on the walls, fortune telling can begin.

Patterns « To to myself" - this is what it was; at the bottom of the cup - today; “from myself” - what will happen. If you look closely at the abstract line drawing, you will see images. But keep in mind that the symbolic interpretation of drawings is an extremely individual matter, and each advisor who tells fortunes for another may have his own interpretation of the patterns.

The choice of cup is also important. On white, coffee residues are better visible.

The prediction must be directed mentally at the person who is awaiting his fate. The drawing may not always be recognizable; it is enough for the sediment to hint at it.

Intuition and imagination play an important role in prediction. When reading a cup, there is no need to rush; study the full picture, giving greater importance to those symbols that are more clearly visible.

Often the outlines in the cup are blurred and have no shape, perhaps this is the influence of the state of the person.

Time- this is the place of sediment. If the pattern is formed close to the edge of the cup, you are given the opportunity to see the events of the near future.

Cup handle- this is the house where you live. The proximity and distance from home depends on the position of the sediment in relation to the handle of the cup. The pattern to the left of the handle represents past events or unused opportunities. To the right is the future or present, usually good, except when this side is covered with an unclear thick layer.

In what order to look into the cup:

1. First of all, look along the edge of the cup towards the bottom towards the center.

2. From left to right horizontally.

3. From right to left horizontally.

4. Bottom and center.

Fortune telling on coffee grounds is popular, intriguing with signs of fate and fatal symbols at the bottom of the cup. This method of fortune telling was used hundreds of years ago, with the fortune teller pronouncing a secret spell known only to initiated individuals. Today, the principles of the process remain unchanged.

[Hide]

Carrying out the ritual

Fortune telling on coffee grounds is easy to do on your own at home if you have the necessary attributes:

• white porcelain cup;
• natural ground coffee;
• Turk.

The key to correct fortune telling is the observance of the ritual, which is performed as follows:

1. In a Turk, hand-ground coffee beans are brewed and special magic phrases are pronounced. For brewing you will need a mixture of coarse and finely ground grains in a 2:1 ratio. The sediment from such a thicket is easier to decipher.
2. Competently formulate a question with a clear and most accurate formulation of what exactly needs to be learned from higher powers.
3. After boiling the aromatic drink, pour it into a cup.
4. You need to hold the porcelain container in your hands and mentally concentrate on your inner experiences.
5. Drink a warm and infused drink, leaving a small amount of liquid at the bottom. After making circular movements in the air three times with your left hand, the contents are tipped onto a clean saucer.
6. Having counted to themselves to 10, the cup of coffee is put away and they begin the mysterious ritual of fortune telling based on the drawings on the saucer.

If, during fortune telling, 4–5 images emerge from the coffee grounds, the ritual was a success; 1–2, it is worth repeating again.

The meaning of size, color and location of signs

The size of the pattern will tell you about the degree of influence of the predicted event on a person’s life. The pictures on the bottom will tell you about past events, and the pictures on the edge will tell you about the future. It should be borne in mind that if you see a lot of dark spots on the bottom - the burden of unresolved matters, and the predominance of light ones speaks of a carefree and happy existence. In addition, the smaller the distance between the signs and the center of the cup, the closer the moment of fulfillment of the prediction.

Interpretation of symbols

Images must be interpreted based on an understanding of the meanings, as well as relying on intuition and internal sensations.

In the video from the School of Life channel. ru you can see how to tell fortunes using coffee grounds.

Human figures

In this fortune-telling, human figures are often encountered that have a symbolic meaning:

1. Damn - arguing with fate is a rash step.
2. A devil with horns is a sign of temptation, addiction to the forbidden, betrayal, illness, and troubles.
3. Angel - recovery soon, happy news that will solve all problems.
4. The figure with wings is an astral image; a person is under the protection of a strong Guardian Angel, who protects him everywhere. At the right moment, the issues will be resolved in the best possible way.
5. Fisherman - a relationship with a loved one will last for many years.

Body parts

It is not uncommon to see various body parts at the bottom of a coffee cup. There are images that are familiar to humans, as well as those supplemented by other drawings.

Heart

In fortune telling, it marks joy on the love front and a lot of attention from the opposite sex. Characterizes readiness for emotional experiences. In the near future, fate will bring you together with a person who will radically change his views and moral values.

In addition, the interpretation of the sign is as follows:

• the image of a heart with an arrow in fortune telling using coffee grounds means the infidelity of a partner, the end of a relationship, protracted quarrels in the family, the collapse of dreams and plans;
• an inverted heart is a symbol of being in an illusory state, of knowing true love.

Eyes

The eyes seen on the coffee grounds are a symbol of observation and research qualities. Care is required when accepting proposals from business partners.

Depending on which eyes you saw, the interpretation will be as follows:

1. Sad ones with drooping corners symbolize a state of depression, melancholy, and loneliness. Bad news is expected. Lack of opportunity to demonstrate talents and gifts.
2. A triangle figure can be seen near the eyes - no matter what, you will be lucky in the near future. Positive changes are just around the corner.
3. Large, beautiful - a symbol of patronage and proper distribution of energy.
4. Convex, round eyes - a suspicious and cowardly character, the hardships of married life, the likelihood of betrayal.
5. Sly, narrow Asian eyes on the surface of the coffee grounds - it is recommended to remain calm, conservatism, secrecy, and it is better to keep plans secret.

Lips

We can safely call it a sign of stability:

• in the center of the cup - a symbol of a strong financial position, a secure existence;
• below - characterizes a reliable person who you can safely rely on;
• open - those around you watch your person’s actions with curiosity and bewilderment;
• the outline of a face nearby is a sign that one of the most important meetings in life is approaching;
• lips near the field - an adventure of a romantic nature, a likely happy marriage in the future.

Animals

Quite common designs made from coffee grounds are animals, which usually have a favorable meaning for the fortuneteller. But they can also warn about something or give a hint.

For example:

- an impressive and interesting rite of deep antiquity.

However, our ancestors not only knew how to lift the mysterious veil of the future, but also knew that the ritual itself coffee fortune telling And interpretation the signs of his drawings are just a hint, inexplicable by reason, of the forces of nature, which only warn of possible events and can indicate danger, without giving unambiguous recipes for happiness and precise answers to the questions posed.

Coffee fortune telling originated in Italy several centuries ago. The Italians also compiled a list of symbols used in them. These superstitious people seriously believed that any correct prediction was sent to the seer by the devil himself.

And although our contemporaries would do no harm in believing in such speculation, the mysteries of the future, even for educated people of today, contain much that is fascinating and frightening.

Which coffee to choose

Natural coffee (two thirds of the composition is coarse and one third fine). The best option for carrying out the ritual is a mixture of three tablespoons of coffee per liter of water. The sediment from the bottom of the coffee cup will tell you about the future.

The ritual of those distant times is very similar to the one that modern fortune tellers perform today, and its basic principles have hardly changed. It's quite simple. For a successful ceremony fortune telling on coffee grounds, you need to pour the ground beans into the coffee pot. Then, adding water, put on fire and bring to a boil.

What kind of utensils are needed for fortune telling using coffee grounds?

In order to carry out the ritual correctly and follow all the details exactly, you need:

Porcelain coffee cup. It is better if it is monochromatic and light, and its inner walls must be completely smooth and white.

Fortune telling technique using coffee grounds

Step 1. Before starting the ritual, you need to concentrate as much as possible, try to clearly and clearly imagine what you are interested in and what you would like to receive by performing coffee fortune telling, future, which is possible, and pictures of the past, with which the most vivid experiences are associated.

Step 2. Freshly brewed coffee should be poured into a cup and the drink should be allowed to sit for a few minutes. After this, offer a drink to a person who wants to know the fate and secrets of the future. And he should drain the cup almost completely, leaving only a little, in a volume approximately equal to a tablespoon, with liquid and grounds at the bottom.

Step 3 . Coffee fortune telling The fortuneteller will now continue. He should thoroughly shake and stir the remaining contents, once again focusing on the main purpose of the prediction. Here you need to make three circular movements, always clockwise, distributing the coffee grounds along the walls so that the contents of the cup reach the edges.

Step 4. Next, turn the cup over and place it on the saucer, and mentally count to seven. Focus on the images is the most important thing in the ritual. And the ancients believed in the deep meaning of the connection that arises at this moment between the fortuneteller and higher powers. And if the predictor did everything somehow, then they believed that such a seer should not be trusted.

Previously, during fortune telling, various magic spells were often read, but modern fortune tellers have simplified this ritual a little, but this does not mean that fancy coffee drawings cannot provide answers to the questions of curious questioners.

How to correctly interpret the arrangement of figures

After all the necessary requirements have been met exactly and the actions have been carried out correctly, you should carefully examine the patterns and stains formed on the walls of the cup, which are of great importance.

Coffee fortune telling gives figures, which can be clear, but also subtle. And the clearer the images, the greater significance they can have for the fate of the questioner.

For the correct interpretation of signs, not only the meaning, but also the location of the figures is important. And the images can be depicted both at the bottom of the cup, and from right to left and from bottom to top, telling about passing events in the life of the questioner. And those going clockwise, as well as down from the top edge, talk about what is included in a person’s life.

For ease of understanding coffee grounds patterns, you need to take the cup by hand. And then the right-sided drawings will tell about the past, and the left-sided ones will tell about the future.

The symbols located at the very top rim speak of events that should be expected, but the lower the patterns go, the more distant the past they show. The spots near the handle of the cup tell about the fortuneteller, and on the opposite side they tell about other people.

1. Events of the present or near future.
2. Distant future events.
3. Obstacles and failures.
4. Personality characteristics of the fortuneteller.
5. That which will pass away or move away and become less significant.
6. Something that will occupy your thoughts and become part of your life.

How to interpret symbols

Unraveling the meanings of the mysterious patterns that sediment leaves behind is a real art. For those who understand little about fortune telling, it is difficult to see signs of the future and omens of fate in the blackness of the spots.

But for true fortune tellers such puzzles are not something complicated; they know everything by heart coffee grounds symbols and can easily explain them.

There are even special tables with the meanings of the fancy pictures and lines that remain on the walls of the coffee cup. But a real predictor guesses a lot himself, since images often speak for themselves about events, dreams, thoughts and feelings of people.

Interpretation: figures

For example, a heart figurine cannot mean anything other than news of a romantic relationship. And if it has clear contours, then the pattern communicates great passion, a declaration of love or a whirlwind romance. But blurry outlines or a heart split in two cannot bode well.

Often when fortune telling by coffee, the symbols resemble a tree. And such a sign can have a wide variety of meanings. A spreading tree testifies to the tortuosity of paths, the many options for events and the large choice that fate provides to a person.

A fruitful tree foreshadows the birth of an heir or gifts, joyful events in life or financial well-being. A broken tree indicates the failure of endeavors. And large roots indicate major obstacles that arise on the way to the goal.

The outline of a dragon portends good luck in business and transactions. But dubious offers should be rejected. They will most likely end sadly. The dragon can tell girls about the strong feelings of one of the men around her. But for married women it is a symbol of discord in the relationship between spouses.

Interpretation: letters

Among the signs appear letters. Coffee fortune telling often presents such surprises. They can mean the names of familiar and unfamiliar people, the names of some events.

Some of them represent happy omens, others prophesy troubles and failures. In each individual case there may be a different interpretation, but there are also common interpretations.
