Claire Goodchild Event at the Indigo Bay & Bloor

Event Review: Claire Goodchild's Tea Leaf Reading Masterclass at Indigo Bay & Bloor

On the evening of October 26, 2024, I had the pleasure of attending a magical event at Indigo Bay & Bloor in Toronto, hosted by the brilliant Claire Goodchild. The occasion celebrated the launch of her highly anticipated book, Harney & Sons: How to Read Tea Leaves: A Card Deck and Guidebook for Divination.

As someone intrigued by divination, I was excited to dive into the art of tea leaf reading (tasseomancy). This centuries-old practice interprets the patterns formed by tea leaves at the bottom of a cup to uncover insights into one’s subconscious or future.

The evening began with Claire sharing a fascinating overview of the history of tea leaf reading. She explained its roots in ancient Chinese and European cultures, highlighting how this simple ritual has offered people clarity and spiritual connection for generations.

The true magic unfolded when Claire guided us through reading our own tea leaves. She demonstrated how to interpret the symbols left behind and offered tips on identifying meaningful patterns. What I loved most was Claire’s warmth and accessibility—she made the process feel easy to grasp, even for beginners.

We also explored the beautifully crafted card deck accompanying the book. With 66 cards representing tea-related symbols, the deck serves as a tool to deepen the practice. Claire walked us through a few symbols that are thoughtfully categorized—Love, Clarity, Success, Change, Omens, and Inspiration—making it simple to tailor readings to your needs.

The highlight was pairing the tea with these interpretations. Claire encouraged us to connect with our intuition, observe the patterns in our cups, and focus on the feelings that surfaced. It was a calming and reflective exercise, showing how something as ordinary as tea can hold profound meaning.

Now available at Target, and Amazon. The book and deck are perfect for tea lovers and spiritual explorers alike. Packed with practical advice and historical insights, it’s a guide to finding clarity and connection, one cup at a time.

Claire’s event was a captivating experience, leaving me inspired to embrace stillness and trust the messages found in the leaves. If you’re seeking a unique way to explore your intuition, this book and deck are a must-have. Cheers to tea, magic, and reflection! ☕️✨
