Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.

Same thing in buddhism. If I quote a thing that makes no sense to me or anybody, it's legit because a famous teacher said it. But if I just freestyle my own observation, that's a no no.

99% of culture is tradition. Which is just an echo, banging out of the past. It ain't aware or intelligent. Brains of a canopener.

You read the tea leaves after you've had tea. The Old Ones don't appreciate food waste.

Everyone knows proper ravioli divination is done by consuming the can of ravioli, then listening carefully to the indigestion.

Chef boyardee isn't even food.

Of course not! He’s a chef. And he’s dead. What kind of necromancy cannibalism are you into? 🤮

Chef B died for our ~~sins~~ spaghettios

Tinnitus ruined my practice of it.

You eat the can of ravioli cold after a night of drinking vodka, then you read the diarrhea splatter.

Ah, diarrhivination.

Because wasting perfectly good* food is unwitchy. You wanna divine using a can of ravioli? Empty it into a pan, cook it, and observe how it cooks as the sauce boils over. Meditate on the movement of each raviolo. Then - and this is the important part - let it cool a little, season it, and eat it.

(edit: I mean good as in edible, not good as in high quality)

Now I REALLY want to meet the person who does this form of divination. Because you KNOW there’s at least one.

If you're that interested I made another comment detailing how to do it.

There is a lady on TikTok who does readings of taco bell quesadillas.

Oh I have guide on how to do this BTW. Lemme find it...

Tasseography

/ "Tea Leaf Reading," and adaptable to other randomized splatter patterns

I use this as an introspective / meditative experience. It's kind of like a complicated Rorschach evaluation of yourself that you can use to bring your subconscious thoughts forward. You just sit and meditate on your mental state in the context of your past, present, and future and in four primary domains (see below). It would work with any random splatter pattern: instead of a handle you would read it starting at where you're standing relative to the image and move your way around it clockwise starting at fire and proceeding through to earth. Although, as others have stated, beginning with food waste whether it's ravioli or the entrails of a slaughtered animal is likely not good even from a practical and non-metaphysical perspective on the concept of karma.

Process

  1. Use a cup with a handle or identify / create a mark for the side the cup is held by.
  2. Brew a cup of loose leaf tea (not in a bag / infuser or poured through a filter).
  3. Meditate while drinking the tea.
  4. Leave only a small amount of water.
  5. Hold the cup upright in the left #hand
  6. Swirl the cup gently clockwise.
  7. Invert the cup over a saucer or dish.
  8. Wait at least a minute but not more than 5.
  9. Pick the cup up with your right hand.

Regions

See the [[Tree of Life.canvas|Tree of Life]] (this is part of an obsidian notebook)

(Short version):

  • fire = inspiration / the soul
  • water = the emotions and close interpersonal relationships (family / close friends)
  • air = knowledge and more distant social relationships (coworkers, clients, and acquaintances)
  • earth = money, possessions, and other fruits of one's labor

Simple Symbols

Ebb, flow, and centering of #energy, #karma, and/or [[10. Wheel of Fortune|luck]]

  • Lines: efficient orderly flow of energy
  • Broken Lines: rapid chaotic flow of energy
  • Wavy Lines: long circuitous flow of energy
  • Arrows / horseshoes: directional flow. The arrow points to where the energy is focused / the energy collects in the curve of the horseshoe.
  • Dot / Solid Circle: burst of energy
