How to read Camel in tea leaves
Camel in a tea leaf reading points to A responsibility satisfactorily carried out; sometimes frustrated plans and endless delays; a camel laden means wealth from an unexpected source abroad; A burden to be patiently borne. Read it as a tea-leaf sign first: the shape, cup position, and nearby clusters matter as much as the dictionary meaning.
In tea-leaf reading, camel is not read as a perfect picture. It is read as a cluster of damp leaves, stems, dots, and empty porcelain that briefly resembles the sign. The stronger the resemblance and the clearer its position, the more weight the symbol carries.
This entry is based on paraphrased notes from Highland Seer and Cicely Kent, with wording rewritten for the Tasseography.org tea archive.
For comparison only, the coffee-reading archive also has a related coffee symbol page: Camel in coffee grounds.
