The Tea Leaf Reading Community
Fortune Telling Tea Cups appeal to four social communities, namely,
- those who perform divinations with tea leaves
- those who are sitters or querents of tea leaf readers
- those who collect fancy and novel tea cups, and
- those who collect the tools of divination in general.
Many people (myself included) belong to more than one of these communities -- and these links will help you find more information about all four communities.

Collecting Fortune Telling Cups
As the proprietor and docent of The Museum of Fortune Telling Tea Cups and Saucers, i do occasionally sell antique, vintage, and new fortune telling cups. Please find a list of cups and saucers that are for sale at our Gift Shop.
And please understand that any cup you see in the Museum, but that is not listed for sale in the Gift Shop is ... not for sale. I only sell duplicates from my collection.
Collecting the Tools of Divination
The Yronwode Institution for the Preservation and Popularization of Indigenous Ethnomagicology (YIPPIE) maintains a large physical collection of divination tools of all types. In addition, YIPPIE publishes online bibliographies of books that deal with various forms of divination, for the use of scholars and enthusiasts.
In addition, my shop, The Lucky Mojo Curio Co., sells many types of divination tools from a variety of cultures, including playing cards, tarot cards, oracle cards, Ouija spirit boards, pendulums, crystal balls, scrying stones, rune sets, and books on how to become a fortune teller. These are offered to the public here:
