Last week me, Malina and Emilia visited Merve. She promised us at Turkish Delight, an event organised by ISCAP that she will read our future in a coffe cup. She told us that she is not an expert but she will try.
It was the first time that someone read my fortune in a coffe cup. I was eager to know my future although I had doubts that the prediction will be truth.
Merve prepared the coffe. She had coffe from Turky. She tod us to drink a glass of water before we drink the coffe. It is important that when you drink the coffe you enjoy it.
I was very attentive to all the steps of this ancient process. I learned a lot about furtune reading in coffe but personally i could not do it. Merve loked on a turkish site to interpret some simbols.
The bottom of the cup represents your hearth and the walls your mind. My heart is not complicated, but my mind is. I have a lot of things on my mind and i have to relak, to enjoy each moment.
She told me a lot of things that were truth. Most of them werer general.
At the end I made a wish amd this wish will come truth in 40 days.
I will return at Merve to find out more about my future.
Under is the interpretation of some simbols found in the turkish coffe cup reading:
Apple: Fertility and creativity.
Arch: Money in business matters.
Bread: Nurture your desires, hopes and dreams.
Bridge: A major decision needs to be made - which way should you go?
Camera: Someone is attracted to you.
Coins: Money is on the way.
Diamonds: A marriage proposal is expected? If the person is married, this may be a symbol of money and material wealth.
Flowers: Flowers indicate happiness.
Genie Lamp: Your wish will be granted.
Harp: Traditional romance.
Heart: A love affair, if the heart is broken or misshapen then the person is broken-hearted.
Knots: Concern over something, take care that it does not negatively affect your health.
Road: Creative opportunities are bringing you to another level.
Ship: A business opportunity is presenting itself.
Hope i made you curious to know more about this art.

Omg! I don t believe in fortune telling! Once, someone red my hand. She said i will marry with a boy named Valentin. I still wait :))
ReplyDeleteAnd i think that wouldn't came true.
I don't believe in fortune telling. i think are just lies to make liars rich... :) but..here it is for those who guess the future, or other things for money...
However, I like your presentation, it's very suggestive..
I think it is quite interesting....And I have to recognize that I was to somebody to read me in coffe.... but it was the first and last time .... I don't belive in this........I think that each person makes his on destiny...:*:*:*
ReplyDeleteI don`t think that someone can tell the name of the person that you will marry. There are a lot of persons who pretend to guess your future for money. In Romania there are a lot of gypsy women that say that practice black or white magic and can help you solve problems or that they make witchery. I also don`t believe in this. But there is a big diference between this and astrology or fortune telling. The last are arts and there are a lot of books about it.
ReplyDeleteI discovered this recently and I would like to know more about it.
But at the end we can all change our destiny. Fortunetelling is not an exact science and i suppose this is why there are so many questions about it.
I can t be very sure about it. Merve was the firt who read my fortune.
But we can all chose to believe or not.
Very interesting. It is the first time I ear about fortune reading in coffee... Well, I have a theory - suppose you say someone that this and this will happen to her. That person will start looking for that everyday. she will do things that might lead her to the situation forecast before. and this will raise the probabilities to that thing happen. If you know that something might happen to you, you will start looking for it... We are also what we think and sometimes we attract things just with the power of our minds and thoughts
ReplyDeleteYes, this is truth. If you know something bd will happen to you than you will try to evoit it. Predictions are some guide lines that can`t tell things exactly.
ReplyDeleteLike most of the things fortune telling should be used with moderation.
We have the power to change our fururethrough our actions.
