Divination is a fairly easy concept, though the signs aren't always easy to read. To perform divination, let some water boil and pour it into a mug, preferably a large one. Take some stray tea leaves or a tea bag and cut it open, then spoon out enough of the leaves to make a small pile on the tip of a teaspoon. Dump the leaves in the water, not in it, then sit for a few minutes while they settle.

It is good to think about something while you do this - a specific question about the future, like if you will have romance with a certain person or if money will come along from a job offer. When the leaves are settled or move very little, take a look at them from different angles and try to make out what shape it is.

Typical shapes are:
-Crescent moon
-Lilly (Water lilly)
-The shape of a butterfly wing (often coming off the side with a handle)
-A large, thick cluster of leaves on one specific side and a few stray ones otherwise
-Tree

I will post pictures of what it would look like if you had each one of these shapes so you can get a general idea, but remember that not all of them will be exactly that shape and they can sometimes be hard to identify.

If you wish to, you can post your results of divination.

The Lilly:
The lilly symbolizes that success in the near future. Whatever your question was; whether it be asking about romance or health, it means that you will likely have good fortune in that area soon.

The Crescent Moon:
The crescent moon symbolizes that one is going to have good fortune in the area of getting a task done. You will find yourself in the near future suddenly being compelled to complete or start something new, which in turn will lead to a good bit of luck, depending on what it is you choose to do.

Cluster With Strays:
The cluster symbolizes a building or destination, inwhich the scattered and stray leaves symbolize people. You will take a journey or a trip soon and will eventually meet someone you know well while there or meet someone that you get to know when you're there. Whether the person is good or bad is undecided.

The Tree:
Much like the lilly, the tree symbolizes success in the future, and is usually a symbol of growing either in knowledge or in spirituality. In either case, it is a time to open your mind a bit more and take in your surroundings.

The Butterfly:
The butterfly wing or seeing the shape or outline of an actual butterfly symbolize confusion that has been brought on by the endulgance of too much pleasure. This means that a person will likely have a lot of sexual pleasure or good luck in their future, which in turn can be seen as a good streak. It will, however come to a slow end eventually, and good happenings will come out in proportion afterwards.
