Amazing, Heartfelt Text on the Metaphysical Arts

I bought this book because of my curiosity about tea leaf reading, and I was skeptical. Now, I not only feel knowledgeable, but I feel as if this is a method that can really work. First, the authors did an exceptional job researching tea--its history, its forms, its cultural relevance. By the time I got to the tasseomancy section of the book, I already felt I knew enough about tea to treat it like the special substance it is. You will fine none of the cheesy descriptions often found in other books on divination. Tasseomancy is described in vibrant detail as a psychological effort among the questioner, the reader, and the patterns in the leaves. I finished this book feeling greatly advanced in my metaphysical studies. In my opinion, this is a must have on the shelves of any diviner, metaphysicist, magician, occultist, or even just a tea enthusiast.
