Cafe latte in a mug under glazed with orange and over glazed with reds and blues. The so-called “art” looks like a head of garlic with a split where the root should be. If you have a good imagination, it might also be a tiny dancer atop voluminous skirts.
Tiny dancer
atop skirts so large
they could fill A. Ballroom.

“Let’s dance!”
A cafe latte in a steel blue and white cloud-pattern mug sits on a white countertop. There is a small spill of milk on the counter. A white figure contrasts what the brown of the background coffee. Vaguely humanoid, the figure is generously curvaceous like the Venus of Willendorf, but with arms curved out to either side. A pale aura behind the figure’s torso is reminiscent of wings or a cloak.
Spilt milk
“Come along with me,” said Auntie Ve,
“Pay no attention to the men behind the wall.”
Good trouble beckons.
“It’s time,” she reckons,
“To take back our dreams.”
Will you heed her call?

Cafe latte in blue and white cup. On an even field of golden brown, a mess of milk adorns the surface. A tulip curves along the left third of the cup, its petals blending into a roiling arch across the far side of the cup. On the right, the arch breaks into two small pendulous blobs, uneven elongated globes hanging by thin stems with the rightmost having two small leaf-like (or sepal-like) projections where the stem meets rounded blob. In the center of the cup, the turbulence washes down across the surface in a wide band, the coffee barely visible in places. The band falls down the center of the cup and then swoops to the right along the near side, narrowing and fading out just below and between the blobs.
The sweet morrow
A tulip bloomed
hurling chaotic light
across restive clouds
in an unsettled sky.
Rain showers,
pools,
and sloshes.
Pendulous plums
will wax and ripen,
mellow in the sun.
The sage sees past, present, and future connected in odd and […]

Cafe latte in a hand-made cup that is glazed with blue and white like clouds or bubbles. The coffee background is a relatively even orange-gold-brown with just a few lighter swirls. The milk draws a cube-like object resting on a puddle. Out of the top of the cube arise shapes reminiscent of flames or petals or wings.
Spring approaches.
A plant sprouts from melting ice, spreading seed-leaves wide,
stretching shoot to the sun-warm sky.
The witting watcher knows when the ground is ready beneath the ice and waits no more. They weave their roots in an embracing tangle with […]

A chaotic river of white milk meanders through gradations of golden dark coffee in the cloud colored cup. On close inspection, the surface is broken by countless tiny bubbles. The rim of the cup betrays a few speckles of espresso that sprayed from a channel in the espresso puck.
Chaos.
White splits the surface of brown and gold with meanders and oxbows. Myriad tiny bubbles from beneath effervesce as they reach the surface.
The unimpeded path is not the way.
Look beneath for inspiration and follow the contours of a land split by […]

A hand-thrown ceramic cup with white and blue bubble or cloud patterns holds a caffe latte. Across a field of light brown flies a long dragon-like creature with many legs and antlers or feathers sweeping back from its head. Behind its tail, shockwaves roil in chaotic swirls.
When the dragon flies in March,
all who would drive us back to winter, beware!
For the wingëd lion is the herald of the folk,
a banner unfurling, calling all to its path.
The beast does not long for gold,
but for the hearts of those who do.
Oligarchs, kings […]

Cafe latte poured in a hand-made cup, glazed in white and steel-blue. Dozens of concentric arcs of different shades of creamy white steamed milk and brown coffee join together, from which emerges a distinctly asymmetrical pattern, reminiscent of leaves and a stalk of slightly bulbous flower buds. Darker loops and lobes surround the flowers.
Amidst chaos and layers of meaning, a flower tries to emerge. Uneven, the stalk rises as though formed by the lines of force that surround and support it, showering out from the apex before sweeping back to the origin.
The center holds amidst uncertainty […]

My morning coffee, a latte in a hand-thrown cup. On a field of mostly smooth light brown, with just a few variations of shade around the edges, rises a bright white shape. It starts wispy and thin at the near edge, and thickens as it rises, undulating slightly until the center of the cup, where it breaks into short bulbous protuberances on the left, right, and back, and continues rising in a thicker central stalk that the bends to the right, forming a circular top with an irregular hammerhead shape pointing to the right. Out of the top of the hammerhead rises a nimbus that echoes the shape of the top of the stalk.
Good morning from a bleak, cold, and grey day in the Berkshire hills of Nova Anglia. Counting down three days to having real heat again in the house, I am staying warm by burning electrons and snuggling under blankets. Without the sun today, I may need to […]

On a white countertop sits a hand-thrown ceramic cup with a rounded handle, glazed in a cloudy pattern of creamy white and dusky blues. In the cup is a caffe latte, a double shot of espresso with steamed, micro-foamed milk. The light, velvety texture of the milk contrasts with the smooth brown of the coffee and milk mixture behind it. Bulbous lobes of lighter mixture spread from the front center of the cup around the edges to either side and around to the three and ten o’clock points. It’s a bit asymmetrical. Between these lobes rises a bright white organic shape, reminiscent of a small balsam fir tree.
Good morning from southwestern Nova Anglia. It was -12 °C when I arose, with a blue sky and high wispy clouds. Now, the leading tip of a tongue of denser lake-effect clouds is reaching out to us from Lake Ontario to our northwest.
This morning’s casting of […]

Latte in a dark ceramic cup glazed in flat orange on the lower half and an irregular deep red with blue tones showing through. Against the backdrop of warm brown, waves of white milk and coffee gather into a brighter white abstract shape that is reminiscent of a seated figure in profile, clad in a hooded monastic robe and looking down towards whatever she is cradling in her arm. A faint ring of milk is just above her bowed head.
May this day bring us closer to peace.

Orange and blue cup. There are no regular patterns in the latte. Mad swirls of dark brown espresso and just a few slips of white like a dragonfly tossed in a tornado.
Chaos.
Today was a challenge. The espresso over-extracted. The milk too heavy. Pouring hand, stiff and painful.
#today #coffee #LatteDivination #Galamancy
A cup on a white countertop. The cup is hand-thrown with a commodious handle. Cloud-like patterns of white and slate blue adorn the cup. In the cup, a double espresso caffe latte. The background, the smooth toast and caramel colors of a Capuchin monk’s robes. A pattern in micro-foamed milk. Overlaid and overlapping. A bright white orb. A thick winding stem reminiscent of Jack’s magic beanstalk, the leaves stubby and thick below, twisted and crooked above. To the left of the orb and stalk a few wisps of milk against dark brown? A long curving beak? A hint of an eye and the curve arching down like a white breast, and ending with a curve. A tail?
What orb behind yonder beanstalk rises or sets? Neighboring singularity accreting or a singular neighboring avian excreting?
What do you see? What does it mean?

A chaotic pattern of gentle brown swirls and menacing white shapes formed by steamed milk and espresso in a hand-thrown and -glazed mug with a cloud pattern.
Here is your occasional look into the future. Make of it what you will.

A crooked and rambling plant depicted in milk on espresso. The background is a pattern semicircular streaks of lighter and darker browns, with the right side darker and more foreboding than the left. The plant has opposite lanceolate leaves on a single stem that weaves back and forth. It looks like something you might see growing out of a crack in the pavement. The overall gestalt feels ragged but triumphant, as the brave little plant struggles forth from the shadows on the right.
As always, poured without thinking and just letting the milk do what it will.
What is the milk telling us this morning? What do you think? Did your milk give you any signs today?

Latte in a mug. Two squiggly paths of milk foam ascend out of a cloudy miasma. The background is a confused pattern of different shadows of brown.

There's still time to change the road you're on.”

Monday morning maunderings.
First off, the obligatory #Galamancy. As usual, poured without much conscious thought at all, given my not-yet-caffeinated state. My loose intention before I pour is to let my hands and the milk do what they want and to see what […]

I have cast the milk of future knowledge into the first sacred coffee of the new year to divine what 2025 will bring. Make of it what you will.

Cafe latte in a ceramic cup that is glazed in cloud and sky. The milk forms a white, vaguely plant-like but not quite symmetrical image on a background it smooth light brown coffee and milk.
Today’s casting of the milk.
