A book by Tabitha Dial

Review by Christiana Gaudet

I love tea, especially loose-leaf tea. I love divination. Given these two facts it’s odd that I have never learned to read tea leaves.

Well, not that odd, because I never before had access to a clear system for learning tasseomancy. Tabitha Dial remedies that with her book, Creative Divination: Read Tea Leaves & Develop Your Personal Code.

Tabitha Dial separates herself from the emerging sea of young divining authors by being an exceptionally good writer. Her personable style is neither forced nor cheesy. While her tone is informal, she provides information that is clear, deep and actionable.

In this 223-page book, Dial shares the ancient tradition of tea-leaf reading, but with a twist. She teaches you how to find, develop and understand your own set of tea-leaf symbols.

No matter the medium, divination is hard to teach because its methods are so unique to each person. Dial has found a way to communicate this fact and has set up a series of exercises to allow all seekers to experience it first-hand.

You can perform all 79 tea leaf reading exercises in the book in order or skip around exploring the exercises that call you. However you enjoy Creative Divination, I am sure that spending time with this book and your tea cup will leave you with a new way to speak with the Universe, and a new understanding of yourself.
