Meaning in the coffee cup
What does Turtle mean in the Ottoman-Persian reading?
The turtle teaches you patience and quiet endurance, for what ripens slowly lasts long. It heralds at the same time news that is making its way to you from afar.
What does Turtle mean in the Russian-Bulgarian reading?
The turtle speaks of patience, of a protective shell, and of slow but sure progress. Do not hurry, for step by step carries you exactly where you wish to be.
What does Turtle mean in the German / Central-European reading?
The turtle counsels you to take everyday matters at an easy pace, for what you do calmly turns out best. Whoever keeps house slowly and steadily ends up with more put by.
Where in the cup does Turtle appear — and what does that change?
At the upper rim the turtle promises that patience soon pays off; deep at the bottom it is a long, steady ripening, and opposite the handle the awaited news nears from far away.
