Photographic Readings

How does it work?

Before we begin, I want you to understand something essential: a photographic reading is not merely an image sent off for interpretation—it is a quiet ceremony, a moment of intention, and the beginning of a conversation between you and the unseen patterns shaping your path.

Your journey starts by watching one of the How to Get the Perfect Reading videos below. These will guide you through preparing the space, selecting your vessel, and capturing the image in a way that allows the symbols to speak clearly. Think of this step not as instruction, but initiation—learning the dialect of a very old symbolic language.

Once you’ve familiarized yourself with the process, choose the form of divination that resonates with you. Each method reveals a different texture of truth:

  • Tea leaves offer gentle insight—emotion, intuition, shifting inner tides.

  • Coffee grounds speak plainly, rooted in honesty and practicality.

  • Wine dregs carry memory, passion, and the weight of choices already set in motion.

  • Soot speaks the language of fire—transformation, endings, and what persists.

  • Candle drippings form messages in shape and shadow—what is forming, dissolving, or echoing beneath your question.

  • Wax on water is fluid prophecy: timing, motion, and what waits just beyond the visible world.

Whichever method calls to you, follow its process with patience and curiosity. When the ritual is complete and your reading rests before you, take several photographs—different angles, good lighting, and enough detail that the symbols can be read clearly. The videos will show you exactly how to capture what matters.

When you purchase your reading, you’ll find a form. Fill in your question with as much—or as little—detail as feels right. Some people write a single sentence. Others share the story behind the question. Both are welcome. Just remember to attach your photos before submitting.

Once your reading is submitted, you can expect a written response within 24 hours. Your final interpretation will arrive by email as a full-page, stylized parchment document—something you may print, keep, tuck into a journal, or revisit whenever the message feels relevant again.

I ask, with sincerity, that you complete the entire ritual before purchasing. Each reading requires care and focus, and because the work is done by hand and uniquely for you, all readings are non-refundable.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this moment in your story.

When you are ready—truly ready—the ritual begins.

Tea Readings

A tea reading is the art of interpreting the shapes, shadows, and symbols left behind in your cup. It’s a moment of quiet clarity—where the leaves settle, and the truth rises. Each cup reveals a story unique to you, offering insight, guidance, and a glimpse into the currents moving beneath your everyday life.

Turkish Coffee Reading

A Turkish coffee reading unveils the hidden patterns formed by the fine grounds left in your cup. As the dregs cool, they crystallize into symbols, scenes, and warnings—whispers from the deeper currents of your path. This ancient divination offers direct, grounded insight with a boldness as strong as the brew itself, revealing what needs to be seen with remarkable clarity.

Dreg Readings

A dreg reading looks into the remnants left at the bottom of a finished drink—wine, spirits, or any potion with weight and character. As the liquid recedes, the remaining sediment settles into symbols shaped by your question and your energy in that moment. These markings offer grounded, unfiltered insight, revealing truths that rise only when everything else has drained away.

Wax & Water Drippings

A wax-on-water reading captures the moment molten wax meets cool water, solidifying into shapes that speak in the language of symbol and shadow. Each drip hardens into meaning—forms that reveal direction, obstacles, and possibilities rising beneath the surface of your question. It is a gentle yet potent form of divination, where clarity emerges the instant chaos settles.

Soot Readings

A soot reading is the art of holding a plate over a candle’s flame and letting the rising smoke paint its quiet story. The soot gathers in delicate, unpredictable patterns—strokes shaped by breath, intention, and the unseen currents moving through your life. These markings reveal symbols of guidance, warning, and opportunity, offering insight drawn from the dance between light, shadow, and the questions you carry.

Candle Drippings

A candle-drippings reading studies the trails of wax that form as a candle burns—those natural ridges, folds, and pools that gather along its sides and at its base. Each flow tells a story: the path the heat carved, the resistance it met, and the shapes it chose in response to your intention. These formations reveal symbols of movement, blockage, desire, and transformation. It is fire speaking in slow motion, leaving behind a map of meaning as the candle gives itself to the flame.
