Your Fortune in a Tea-Cup Postcards
From Mystic Tea Room
Revision as of 22:15, 27 December 2020 by Catherine Yronwode (Talk | contribs)
In this set of 12 postcards, issued in Great Britain some time between the First and Second World Wars, we have essentially a series of flash cards or teaching instructions in cup reading. These British tea leaf postcards were intended to be sent as greetings or distributed at a party, but they can also be used by fledgling tasseomancers as study cups on the way to learning a basic list of tea leaf symbols. Because the printed interpretations are so brief, i will, at a future time, add some further explanations of how they were derived.
