Tasseography

It’s amazing when I think about being introduced to a fortune-telling tool when I was just a young lad. In the 1950’s reading tea leaves was all the rage. It went out of fashion (especially in Canada) when coffee at Tim’s became the norm.

Take a look at the illustration above: what do you see? My first impression was a camel and a pyramid, so a trip to Egypt might be on the cards. But other people will see other things, so it’s like an inkblot Rorschach test. I wonder if that’s where he got his ideas from.

I suspect that my early brush with Tasseography may have given rise to my lifelong spiritual quest. Hmm.
