Oreomancy: Tasty Fortunetelling
Sometime, just for fun, I step away from the traditional serious professional psychic and medical intuitive work and teach something that touches on metaphysical history as well as letting my students have fun. Several years ago, I was holding a workshop to a group of gals on traditional tea leaf reading. it was then that I also introduced them to other fun food divination tools. While I taught this manner of fortune telling or psychic divination tongue in cheek (or perhaps cookie in cheek) it was extremely gratifying to find that using Oreo cookies as a useful and accurate divinatory tool really worked.
Oreomancy is quite simple. Hand a cookie to the Questioner and have them hold it between their palms, focusing on the issue. After a moment or two, they twist the Oreo quickly clockwise to separate the top part of the cookie from the bottom. Beginning with the cookie in Questioner's left hand, the Oreomancer takes this chocolate wafer and reads first the past and or present. The cookie in the right hand of the Questioner pertains to the future.
Easy interpretation tip...just remember, the Oreo "Stuff in the Middle" is the stuff of life! To help you get started with the details, here are some classic Oreomancy interpretations after the twist has been completed:
All the Stuff is on the left cookie -- You're at a point in your life where you're leaving a great deal of stuff behind and starting with a clean slate (cookie) for your future.
All the Stuff is on the right cookie -- You have a lot of stuff to look forward to! There is a full future ahead, with lots of yummy abundance.
S shaped Stuff line -- Super Stuff! You have super things in your past or future (depending on left or right wafer.)
Ripped or jagged stuff line -- Take care of your stuff better! Your pushing and tearing things, going to fast in life and need to slow down and treat you and your stuff with more TLC.
Stuff dripping over the cookie's edge -- the stuff of life is spilling out all over. Time to declutter and get everything back where it belongs.
Smooshed and flattened Stuff -- You're forcing life too hard and trying to push to much to get things to fit life the way you want. Take is easy with your stuff! Be more gentle with how you treat the stuff of life!
Stuff flew out and landed on the ground -- Things are falling between the cracks and you aren't revering life or treating your stuff as precious. Warning, this can lead to you and your stuff of life getting seriously stepped on.
Stuff forms the profile of a face -- You have someone leaving or coming in to your life (depending on whether the face is on the past/present or the future wafer.)
I think you get the idea. Next time you enjoy a package or Oreo cookies, don't forget to try a little Oreomancy and savor the Stuff of Life!

Oh what a pleasure to read about Oreomancy! I have been told I see something in everything and this gives me some ideas for directions to use that gift. I have been dreaming of a modern-day Hogwarts School of Magic and I imagine classes with you could be a lot of fun. Wish I lived out your way. Many blessings.
