Money in the cup

In folk reading, small round shapes stand for exchange — for what you give and what comes back to you. They promise neither a sum nor a date; they speak of the value of your work and of the time having come to say it out loud. Scattered far apart from one another, they call for a steadier hand.

Position changes the tone: nearer the rim speaks of what is close, nearer the bottom of what is further off; a clearer shape speaks louder than a faint one.
