Fortune Telling on Coffee Grounds. A Self-help Guide for Everyone. Arina Apraksina
common in large cities where there are large cultural communities. Coffee workshops and tasseography courses sometimes include coffee ground reading in their programs as a way of attracting visitors.
So, as we can see, in all cultures the basic principle of coffee grounds reading is to interpret symbols and signs. These can be anything from animals to letters or numbers. Coffee grounds reading is often passed down from generation to generation and is part of the cultural heritage. Individual symbols may have different meanings depending on the cultural context. For example, the image of a snake may be a positive symbol in one culture and a negative one in another. In some cultures, coffee grounds reading may have serious social significance and be used to solve important issues such as choosing a life path or a partner, while in others it remains only a form of entertainment. Thus, coffee grounds reading demonstrates both the universality of interest in the mystical and the unknown, and the uniqueness of each culture in interpreting this practice.
