So tea leaf reading um when we think of tea leaf reading as a form of divination um it's a little bit different than something like reading tarot cards where it's out in the open I mean you can walk down to Jackson square in New Orleans and see 20 tarot card readers on the street with their little booth set up But tea leaf reading is a little bit harder to find And the reason for this is that tea leaf reading originated as a domestic form of divination So people did tea leaf reading in their home and in their kitchen When tea leaf reading spread to the United Kingdom um witchcraft was illegal Actually witchcraft was illegal in the United Kingdom until the 1950s
