The Tea Leaf Reading Community
Fortune Telling Tea Cups appeal to four social communities, namely:
- Those who perform divinations with tea leaves
- Those who are sitters or querents of tea leaf readers
- Those who collect fancy and novel tea cups
- Those who collect the tools of divination in general
Many people (myself included) belong to more than one of these four communities -- and these links will help you find more information about all four communities.
