How to read Poppy in tea leaves
Poppy in a tea leaf reading points to Is significant of a pleasant occurrence in the early summer. 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, poppy 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 Cicely Kent's tea-leaf symbol book, rewritten for the Tasseography.org tea archive.
