Tea Leaves

Reading tea leaves is one of the easiest forms of divination. By placing tea leaves in a teacup, you can use your inner eye to see a shape through the leaves. Drink tea from the teacup until only dreg remain. Swirl 3 times with left your hand. Turn over on a saucer and wait for the last of the tea to drain away before reading it. The following key will tell you what each shape means.

Key

Bowler Hat - going to work in ministry
Falcon - deadly enemy
Dog - grim
Club - attack
Flower Pot - going to loose all money in gambling
Acorn - find/win unexpected gold
Cross - trials and suffering
Sun - great happiness
Skull - danger in your path
Sheep - going to be poor in future
Hippo - going to be a dedicated parent
Star - famous very soon
Saturn - hair will take a nasty turn
Rose - romance will soon affect life
Troll - have a non-trustworthy friend
Spectacles - you are being watched by a spy
Squid - a close friend will drown
Tailcoat - your future job will bring you much honor
Lion - you will do a brave action
Cloud - your eyesight will not be good much longer
Cornucopia - your hearing will worsen soon
Badger - you will do a great deed



Crystal Ball Gazing

Crystal ball gazing is one of the trickiest forms of divination. Like reading tea leaves, you must find a shape within the ball using your inner eye. The figures you see in a crystal ball have the same meaning as the ones you see in the tea leaves. However, unlike tea leaves, ball gazing requires a great deal more concentration and silence. Block out all noises and distractions. Never take your eyes off the ball, and keep dead quiet.



Fire Reading

To do a fire reading, you must first, of course, have fire. The larger the easier, for the flames are carrying more magic. A single flame posesses only a little magic, therefore trying to read candelight or a torch is impossible unless the reader is highly skilled with the inner eye.
Stare into the fire. Imagine the flames as living people. Listen to its roaring. If you are serious enough and listen carefully to the fire noises, it will think you are polite, and will speak, show shapes, or turn certain colors. Of course, you are the only one who can see this happening. If another witch or wizard is watching and not concentrating at all, he or she will not see what you are seeing. If you want to do it with another person or group, hold hands with them and have everyone concentrate. This is more difficult, for if one person is not concentrating hard enough, it's ruined.

Key: Colors

White - happiness in life
Yellow - you will win gold
Tangerine - you will soon have a well-deserved, relaxing vacation
Red - romance will fill your life
Green - an unexpected death will occur to a loved one
Azure blue - you will become a musician
Navy - who you thought was your friend will betray you
Violet - your future occupation will be playing a sport
Light Brown - you will lose in gambling
Dark Brown - you will win in gambling
Black - grim

All shapes you see mean the same as they do in ball gazing and tea leaf reading.
