Hello, everyone, and thank you for supporting "It's All Ephemera"!

In this month's homage to the past, we again visit England, the original home of tea room culture, with half a dozen wonderful examples of the unexpected, the odd, and the downright strange. A tea room in a windmill, a tea room hung with portraits of dogs in human clothing, a tea room overgrown with house-plants, a tiny tea room in an old blacksmith's forge that advertises the British tour of a well-known African-American blues singer in 1934. You know me by now, i hope. I write informative web pages on hoodoo, fortune telling, and world-wide folk magic which you can read for free -- but sometimes i just have to cut loose and show you the tea room that was donated to the town of Lickey by a scion of the Cadbury Chocolate family in 1904, because, well, just because.

Yet More English Tea Rooms:
[PATRONS GET THE SECRET URL IN EMAIL ONE YEAR BEFORE IT OPENS TO THE PUBLIC]

This week's web page continues my project of curating, scanning, and uploading rare old tea room postcard images and contextualizing them with accompanying descriptions. There are now 40 vintage postcards in the current iteration, "Yet More English Tea Rooms" -- which goes online tonight for my Patrons, in gratitude for your support. The public will not see it until June 7, 2027, at which point it will be opened for all to enjoy.

The Mystic Tea Room web site is dedicated to the traditional art of fortune telling by tea leaves, also known as tea leaf reading, cup reading, cup tossing, divination by tea leaves, tasseomancy, and tasseography. If you are not yet familiar with the public portion of the site, check it out!

Thanks to my Patrons, who contribute as little as $8.00 per month for an exclusive one-year sneak-peek behind the scenes, i am able to write a new web page every week on the history of folk magic and divination. After a year, these pages are given to the public to read for free.

You can't read tea leaves without tea, so tasseomancers tend to become tea-lovers, and that means sampling many types of tea. You can't buy tea without a tea company to grow it and importers to blend and pack it. And the tea companies can't tell you how wonderful their tea is without promotional material. Back in the early 20th century, at the height of the proliferation of grocery distributors, every tea company handed out brochures and booklets to magnify the glory of their products, and since this era was also the height of graphic art and design, the tea company booklets were works of stupendous artistry. This week we present a wonderfully illustrated gallery of antique and vintage tea company booklets. Tea leaf reading is one of the Mystic Arts -- but as a reader, i always put the emphasis firmly on Art. These lovely graphics are now on display at the Mystic Tea Room web site for everyone to enjoy.

Now until Midnight PT 1-888-4-HOODOO Ext 1111
HoodooPsychics.com !

The Lilac is a hardy, fragrant Spring-flowering shrub native to Europe and Eurasia. In the Victorian Language of Flowers, it symbolizes the first emotions of love; however, it also holds the meaning of an old love or a lost love and for that reason it was once considered a flower appropriate for widows to grow in the front yard and bring into the home as a cut flower. Its fragrance is strong, beautiful, and inspirational to most people, so a large bunch of home-grown lilacs, while not a dainty bouquet, is a magnificent gift when calling on a friend for a day's visit. I am keeping my regular Friday office hours (4:00 PM to Midnight Pacific Time) at Hoodoo Psychics today. Call me for a quick, accurate tarot or pendulum reading or for easy-to-follow spell-casting advice. -- Miss cat, 1-888-4-HOODOO, extension 1111.
