Method & Sources
How our readings are produced, what they draw on, and where their limits lie — transparency about sources, method, and editorial care.

Who is behind the readings
The content is compiled by a small editorial team with a long-standing interest in tasseography (coffee-ground reading), dream interpretation, chiromancy (palmistry) and tarot. We treat these traditions as cultural heritage and describe them respectfully and factually, without claiming supernatural effect.
How the AI reading works
When you upload a photo or describe your dream, an AI language model (Claude by Anthropic) analyses the image or text and maps the signs it recognises to the meanings in our editorially maintained symbol lexicon. The AI invents no truth — it links visible shapes to traditional meanings and composes a coherent text from them. Every reading is one possible interpretation, not a fact.
What the lexicon draws on
Our symbol meanings follow several handed-down reading traditions — Ottoman-Turkish and Persian coffee-ground reading, the Central-European and the Russian-Bulgarian schools — and for dreams the psychological line (Freud) and the oriental-Islamic tradition (Ibn Sirin). We compare sources, note divergences, and flag where meanings differ by school. Recommended literature is listed on our book pages.
Editorial care & freshness
All texts are written natively in five languages (German, Turkish, Arabic, Persian, English) rather than machine-translated. We review content regularly, correct errors, and add new symbols and topics. The date of the last update is shown on every knowledge page.
Limits & responsibility
Our readings are for entertainment and self-reflection. They are no substitute for medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. Do not base important decisions on them alone. If you are in distress, please reach out to professionals or a counselling service.
