Held By The Master

Held By The Master

Every cup tells a story. Yours begins before it reaches you.

The Origin Story

A few years ago, I had the privilege of teaching over 200 students the art of reading, tea leaves, cards, and scrying across crystal, black mirror, candle wax and oil. All of it delivered via Zoom, across eight weeks, to a community of learners who brought with them a depth of respect for the practice that genuinely moved me.

When those students purchased their teacups from me, many of them came back with a request I had not expected.

They asked me to perform a reading with their cup before it came to them.

In their tradition, when a master reads from a newly purchased cup, the cup becomes spiritually aligned, awakened to its purpose, already held in intention, already connected to the person who will use it. For my students, this was not an add-on. It was the beginning of the relationship between reader and cup.

I have thought about that ever since.

Every Fortune Teller Teacup I make is hand-crafted and finished in 24ct gold, designed to be read for a lifetime. It has always felt right to me that a cup like this should begin its journey properly, not sitting quietly in a box waiting to be discovered, but already known. Already read. Already yours.

That is what Held By The Master is.

Using the cup that will come to you, I read it before it leaves my hands. I document every symbol I find, what it means, what it is drawing your attention toward, what it is asking you to sit with. You receive that reading as a keepsake document, something to return to whenever you need it. And your cup arrives already spiritually aligned, already carrying something of your story.

Where there is tea, there is love.

FAQ

How does the written reading work?

Which cup is included?

Every Held By The Master package includes one Navy Blue Zodiac Fortune Teller Teacup, hand-crafted and finished in 24ct gold, carrying all twelve zodiac symbols on the cup and saucer.

How do I book my Zoom session?

Once your written reading has been delivered, you will receive a private booking link to schedule your Zoom session. All sessions must be used within 12 months of your purchase date.

What if I cannot use my sessions within 12 months?

Sessions not used within 12 months of purchase are forfeited. This is communicated clearly at the time of purchase and in your confirmation email.

Can I purchase this as a gift?

Yes. At checkout, simply include the recipient's name and email address and a note will be included with the cup explaining the experience that awaits them.

Do I need any experience with tea leaf reading?

None at all. The reading is performed by me, for you. Your only role is to receive it.

This is not a product with a reading attached.

This is a cup that already knows you.

Where there is tea, there is love.
