The Coffee Reading

The person whose future is to be predicted must drink the coffee themselves.
Drink along one side of the cup. Turn the cup over the saucer and place the cup on it.
Take a question or wish in mind and turn the cup overhead three times clockwise.
Let the cup rest until the coffee grounds have dried a little and place some
metal on the inverted bottom of the cup, a wedding ring or a coin.

When the cup has cooled, the reader looks for a place where the light comes from behind.
Draw two imaginary lines from the cup handle, one lengthwise and one widthwise,
the cup is now divided into four imaginary parts.

The part to the right of the vertical line are the good messages in the prediction,
the symbols on the left of the same line indicate the less positive messages.
Below the horizontal line we see the long-term events and above the line the
daily course and short-term business.
