“Tea leaf divination isn’t
just for witches: it is a natural practice that can be enjoyed by all
tea drinkers. This book transported me back to my time in England,
sitting in an English cottage, with a tea cup and a silver spoon.
Reading the Leaves is well researched; however, what makes its
worth and power is experience. Both Leanne and Sandra have a heritage
of knowledge that has been carried in families through the
generations. Their ancestors have brought forward the method you will
learn in this fun and informative read. In particular, I was impressed
by their chapter on timing, which is always a challenge, even for
authorities in occult divination. Their method by which timelines are
captured brings accuracy to readings regarding past, present, and
future. I am excited to try the recipes they have included, which are
a delicious way to support divination, and add to the magic.”—Laurie Cabot, author of The Power of the Witch, Love Magic,
and The Witch in Every Woman
"This book is
incredible. The combination of rituals and customs of a bygone era,
storytelling, and straightforward practical instructions makes this
book the quintessential practical handbook for anyone wanting to tap
into this ancient form of divination. The authors have successfully
applied their skill and years of experience to create a brilliant and
accessible handbook for everyone, regardless of experience. As I read,
I envisioned how easy it will be for me to share this book with
friends and co-workers who may or may not be witches. It’s that
universal. Although a practitioner of cartomancy for the most part of
four decades, I have never been drawn to the practice of
tasseomancy—until now. Sandra and Leanne instantly drew me in and made
me want to put the kettle on to brew some tea and get down to the
business of Reading the Leaves."—Mary-Grace Fahrun,
author of Italian Folk Magic: Rue’s Kitchen Witchery
"I was not a tea-leaf- or coffee-grounds-reader before. I
am now. That’s the highest praise I can give to a book that sets out
to teach a technique. It hooked me with the presentation. It drew me
in with clear explanation of history, theory, and method. It delivered
in terms of enabling me to do the thing it describes. I am a better
Sorcerer for having read Reading the Leaves."—Jason Miller, founder of Strategic Sorcery
"A smart, fun dive into a path of intuitive discovery. As I read,
I felt like I was a having a conversation, over tea, with two
powerhouse psychics who prove reliable and fresh, and care deeply
about my experience. Packed with useful information as well as
grounded reassurance, Reading the Leaves is a solid
resource and an awakening into new powers."—Tama Kieves,
bestselling author of Inspired & Unstoppable: Wildly Succeeding in Your Life’s
Work and Thriving Through Uncertainty
"Smart,
modern, practical and witty! Thorough and thoroughly inspired with
rituals, recipes, symbolism, and timelines for manifestation,
Reading the Leaves is the definitive accessible guide to
tasseomancy for our time. Wright and Marrama have
accomplished something truly magickal. Like a whisper from behind the
veil, they have channeled the essence of a largely Victorian occult
practice and catapulted into the mainstream magickal practice of today
with grace, beauty, practicality, intelligence, and wit.
Reading the Leaves is an impressive addition to the modern
magical bookshelf, honing in on the ethics of prognostication, paying
homage to the past, while being completely relevant to both secular
magic practitioners as well as cunning folk. Let them lead you on a
thrilling dive into the psychic depths of the teacup. From
establishing the conducive atmosphere for divination, to choosing the
perfect cup, as well as hundreds of symbols, Wright and Marrama serve
the tea and keep it hot. With illustrations and explanations,
Reading the Leaves is a must read for advanced practitioners
and newcomers to tasseomancy alike."—Judy Ann Nock, author
of The Modern Witchcraft Book of Natural Magick
"It is clear when first peering into Reading the Leaves that
it is a labor of love. Its style invokes a Victorian elegance infused
with a grandmother’s wisdom. You can almost smell the tea brewing
from the kettle as you sit in a parlor lit by dim candlelight. Leanne
Marrama and Sandra Mariah Wright weave a spell throughout the
pages of this book, taking the reader on a journey from ancient China
into your very own kitchen. Reading the Leaves is more than
just another guide to divination. It is a window into the magic
found within the lives of these two women and the people that they
have touched with their magical gifts. This will be
a foundational work on the subject of tea leaf reading that will
be a much-cherished addition to anyone’s book collection. Upon reading
this book, you will never have an empty tea cup—only a doorway to
destiny!"—Brian Cain, author of Initiation into Witchcraft
"Reading the Leaves is an empowering
work of divination that reveals the hidden wisdom sprinkled across
the bottom of an ordinary teacup. Salem witches Sandra
Mariah Wright and Leanne Marrama offer an hospitable welcome into the
charming but oft-mysterious world of tea leaf reading that makes
it accessible to everyday people trying to make sense of their lives
and provides tools of understanding using this time-honored
method of foreseeing the past, present, and future. From the history
of tea-leaf reading, to the symbols one might find in the cup, to
recipes, rituals, and even communication with departed loved
ones, Reading the Leaves bridges old-world wisdom
with modern insight in what is sure to be a classic of the genre!"—Christian Day, author of The Witches’ Book of the Dead
