THE BLURB:
If you have already enjoyed learning from Leaping Lizard's
Tarot, Palm Reading or Fidh Lan reading DVD sets, then you
already know the type of unique and easy to learn
instructional DVDs they create for those who have an
interest in learning to do readings.

In this new 2 DVD set Leaping Lizard is tackling a subject
matter that is seldom written about and one which can be
daunting for the new reader to learn.

As they have done in the past, you begin with your host, a
reader with over 37 years of experience, who leads you step
by step into learning how to read Tea Leaves. Dean will
teach you, as he does members of the lay public and new age
customers. He will teach you the "For Real" methods used by
tea leaf readers around the globe.

Using one on one narratives and interesting animated
segments, you will learn how to interpret the various blobs,
clumps and smears within the bottom of a tea cup. But that
is not all... Leaping Lizard is really going all out to try
and give you a lot of BANG for your buck!

Because there is so much information in this set about
symbolism and shapes, DVD disc 2 will have PDF files you can
print out to study and learn from.

Also included is bonus material in the form of several OTHER
methods of readings that are similar to Tea Leaf Reading-
these include:

Blei Giessen - A German method of divination using metal
figurines that are melted down and tossed into water. Still
practiced today, this New Years Eve tradition is relatively
unknown in the USA.

Wax Splatter Readings - This traditional method of reading
popular among Santaria and similar religions, involves
colorful wax, splattered into a dish of water. A Nice
alternative to Tea Leaf Reading in many circumstances.

Dry Tea and Herb Readings - What do you do if you are not
allowed (Or interested) in serving or drinking tea? Here is
a way to do tea leaf readings that using DRY tea or other
herbs. Never shared before.

Lip Stick Print Reading - WOW this is a popular one with the
ladies and for those who perform in convention environments.
A simple lip print on a card and ALL can be revealed... Ok,
maybe not all.

And as usual, there will be some discussion of the business
aspects of doing readings, Logistics of Tea Leaf Readings,
What kind of tea to use, how to use Bag Teas and Loose Teas
and much more!

Note - It is recommended that you be somewhat familiar with
some other type of reading such as Tarot, Runes, Ogham or
Fidh Lan Sticks.

Total Running Time Approximately: 2hr 17min

MY COMMENTS:
With coffeeshops being quite popular, this two disc provides
a variety of readings that can be used at such places, plus
ones that are similar in nature. Tea leaf readings are
probably just as well known, thanks to movies and TV, as
palm reading and Tarot cards. It's all just a matter of
seeing images in the leaves and interpreting them.

The first disc contains all the information on tea leaf
readings. The second disc contains sample readings, plus
details about the business end of doing tea leaf readings.
What kinds of coffeehouses, what to charge, and how to
conduct the business are some of the topics discussed.

Besides tea leaf readings, this disc also includes some very
interesting additional readings. I particularly am
delighted about the lipstick readings. There are two types
in this category. The first is reading the actual lipstick
itself. The second is reading the lipstick print that's
made when someone wearing lipstick kisses a piece of paper.

There's a chapter on Blie Giessen, which frankly I knew
nothing about. As the blurb indicates, it involves melting
metal figures. It is, indeed, quite interesting. Wax
Splatter Readings are also included on this set.

The two DVD set also includes a couple of PDF files. One is
Tea Leaf Reading pitch book for BOR sales which is very
useful. The other is a quick reference guide with notes for
much of the material included on this disc.

If you're looking for some unique readings, then this is
something that will certainly interest you. The information
in this is enough to get you started learning and doing
these readings.
