Thank you A gracious and loving thank you to our
Guardian Angels that watch over us each day; the Archangels that protect and
guide us with their loving and healing presence, a special and humbled thank you
to Archangel Michael; immense gratitude and thanks to the Light Workers of the
Divine Light source that resonates from Spirit our Father the creator and mother
Gaia; to the Light Entities of the Casa de Dom Inacio, Medium Joao, the Ascended
Masters for their wisdom and blessings; to the Spirit Guides that walk our life
path with us; to my dear friends (Julie, Rosa, Anka, Boshko, Mila, Mili,
Mirjana, Mirko, Milica, Luke, Cheryl & Michael, Paul & Theresa, Maria & Eddie,
Ang & Andrew, Wendy & Eddie, Perrene & Juan, Angela & George, Therese, Lyn,
Paris, Celeste and Fay); to my immediate family: my father Zarko & mother
Ilinka, my sister Suzanna; to my father’s family line Sladojevic and to my
mother’s family line Knezevic; my in-laws Chris & Ray Ligertwood; my
sister-in-law Sam; Stephanie; my aunty Jela and cousin Aleks; my godmother Rada;
to my friend and energy healer Sabrina; Pojo; and finally my husband Barry for
always encouraging me and believing in me. Love you all dearly. My parents migrated from Banja Luka (a small town in
Bosnia Herzegovina) to Australia when my father was in his thirties and my
mother had just turned eighteen. If I had to share one of my most frequent
memories during the course of my childhood, it was the consistency with which my
parents enjoyed their afternoon coffee, together every day, including those
additional times the coffee would appear on the occasional visit of relatives or
friends. More interestingly, I cannot recall a time when the
coffee cup would not get turned over for the purpose of a reading. As a child I
would often wonder, how could the future change at such a considerable pace on a
daily basis? I would think, what could possibly be revealed in the cup today
that wasn’t there yesterday? And yet this question did not seem to faze any of
the hopeful recipients in the slightest, at least not once the attention was
drawn to the Reader, who held that cup attentively in the palm of their hand.
Those waiting patiently for their turn would carefully watch the rapid eye
movement of the Reader as the Reader skimmed the coffee cup images. You could
monitor the slightest change in the Reader’s facial expression, where for all of
just a few seconds, the eager receiver of the reading (‘Receiver’), was trying
so very hard to decipher what the Reader had discovered and was about to share. The scene would unfold rather dramatically from here
on. The Receiver would attentively listen to the Reader’s every word. This
display of intensity was always engaging to watch. The Receiver’s face would
become most serious as if his or her life and happiness depended on what was
about to be shared by the Reader. You could see the weight of hope rest in the
Receiver’s eyes. After watching so many receive readings from my
mother, who was taught by her mother, the most common theme that each Receiver
seemed to share was the display of hope and longing for good or favourable news,
for good changes to follow suit or for helpful guidance to a certain conundrum.
And it is at this juncture that I have come to realise that as a Reader you have
a great amount of responsibility. The way in which you read a coffee cup and
share its information could impact greatly on the future mindset of a Receiver
and therefore even impact on future events. I love the expression ‘no one has a crystal ball’
because it is entirely true! And yet here we are endeavouring to read into the
future as best we can, whether it is through a coffee cup reading, tarot- or
oracle-card reading, clairvoyant psychic reading, dream interpretation or some
other means. What I believe is this: WHAT is revealed and WHEN it is revealed to
a Reader is for the benefit of the Receiver and for the Receiver’s highest good,
whether it is positive or negative news. To explain further, the form of news
received is to the future benefit of the Receiver, and this means as Readers we
want to aid in the beneficial transformation of an individual (being the
Receiver) towards his or her overall happiness and wellbeing. This is the sole
purpose I retain when conducting any of my readings. My goal is to execute a
reading with love, light, good intent and gracious Angelic guidance. I believe the images formed in a coffee cup are
whispers from our Guardian Angels, Spirit Guides and loved ones from the other
side, who are all lovingly endeavouring to share in the wisdom that flows from
the Divine source of love, from our father Spirit or, if you prefer the term,
God. Whatever your religious belief, or no belief for that matter, please feel
comfortable resting with the tools you find in this book. It is all applicable
to all who seek to use their inner compass, their sixth sense and inner guidance
or gut feeling. As long as your intentions stem from love and willingness to
grow and learn as a physical and spiritual being, then I have no doubt you will
enjoy the fun and exciting journeys inside this book. My hope is this book will reinvigorate the almost
lost and forgotten pastime of coffee cup reading. I wish to bring it back into
the forefront of Readers’ minds, as a useful and informative tool for fortune
telling. I would love to witness a coffee cup reading revival. Just as it once
was, back in the day, in my parents’ village in Banja Luka, the casual joining
of friends, family or neighbours, to share in the daily banter and reconnection
of feelings. All the while a swell of anticipation ensues as everyone patiently
sips at their coffees, until a Receiver turns over their cup ready to embark on
the untold stories of their future. I hope you sincerely enjoy this book and have many
fun coffee reading adventures to follow. READ A SAMPLE: There are many tales of the way the coffee cup reader
came into existence. My mother tells tales of the gypsies reading coffee cups to
barter for village produce as they trailed through the dirt roads of her home
town when she was just a girl. But rather than delve into the history of coffee
cup reading, this book is aimed at encouraging you to take up the gift and the
art of coffee cup reading. Coffee cup reading is conducted in many European
countries as well as the Middle East. It is most popular in Lebanon, Turkey,
Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, and Macedonia, just to name a few. The
coffee used for the purpose of a coffee cup reading is not your regular instant
coffee or percolated coffee. It is a very fine blend of coffee, mostly sourced
here in Australia where I live, in specialised delis or coffee houses, and
sometimes if you are lucky you can find a couple of different brands in your
local supermarket. This type of coffee is more widely known in English-speaking
countries as ‘Turkish Coffee’. There are many different ways of referring to this
style of coffee. Some examples include Minas, Minas Santos, Greek Coffee and
Lebanese Coffee. You may also find that the name of the coffee depends on the
country you reside in. For example, if you are in Greece or ordering coffee in a
Greek restaurant you would most likely see the term ‘Greek Coffee’ on the menu.
For convenience, I will refer to this type of coffee as ‘European Coffee’
throughout the course of this book. In a nutshell a coffee cup reading should be a quiet
moment of serenity in which you designate a little time from your day to kick
back and relax, enjoy the aroma and potential wonders that will unfold for you
as you contemplate the endless possibilities, twists and turns your life could
take. It is a time of reflection and a chance to consider how far you have come,
where you are in this moment in time and what positive outcomes you would like
to see unfold for yourself in the future. I am so humbled that you chose to undertake this
journey and peep behind the curtain, to join me on the other side of the table,
seeing things from the Reader’s view and opening yourself up to a new world of
loving guidance and support.
