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.
