Grounds for thought: Using coffee for a psychic reading

Turkish coffee reading is an ancient form of tasseography (interpreting patterns in tea leaves, coffee grounds or wine sediments). Turkish coffee is like strong espresso, with grounds left at the bottom of the cup. The sediments remaining are used in the reading. Practitioner Roya Razavi, of Rock Hill, says that a lot of what she intuits is where a person’s blockage is. “I notice where they cannot progress and move further in life. It’s never what I want to tell them or what they want exactly to hear, but whatever they’re supposed to hear.”
