From the point of view of the scryer telepathy can be of two kinds, experimental and spontaneous. -from "Telepathy" Perhaps the first comprehensive exploration of the ancient art of crystal gazing ever written-and still considered the best-this intriguing 1924 volume roams the history of civilization, from Greece and Rome to modern Europe to aboriginal Australia, to gather fascinating commonalities in the global practice of "scrying." Besterman, a student of the paranormal, discusses: . scrying in legend and tradition . scrying in literature . the procedures of scrying . related phenomena: automatic writing, hauntings, and multiple personalities . why scrying works . and more. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Besterman's A Dictionary of Theosophy. British bibliographer, and editor Theodore Besterman (1904-1976) is remembered chiefly as a scholar of the philosopher Voltaire, though his interests ranged from anthropology to the paranormal.

Your Future in a Cup is a "how to" foresee the future using the ancient Middle Eastern, Turkish, or Greek custom of divining with coffee grounds. The author leads us on a step-by-step journey through the 10 chapters of Section I - from preparing the coffee to interpreting the images. Interspersed throughout the text are fascinating examples of readings from the author's files. Many startling, sometimes beautiful, untouched photographs of images formed in cup and saucer grounds illustrate the principles being taught.
The second half of the book consists of an extensive list of symbols and their meanings. If, for example, the image of a particular animal is seen in the grounds, its interpretation would be found in Section II, listed alphabetically under "Animals." The symbols' interpretations are culled from many cultures, historic and contemporary, and from mythology, folklore, literature, religion, and the author's personal experience.
Here is the authoritative work on the subject, written by a metaphyscian, teacher, author and 35-year practitioner of the mystical arts and sciences.
