Description: One morning, as the sun cast its gentle glow through the kitchen window, I reached for my morning coffee ritual. With the aroma of freshly brewed java filling the air, I took a sip and settled into the comfort of my routine. Little did I know, this morning would unfold into a tale of mystery and fascination. After finishing with my coffee, I set the nearly empty mug sideways in the sink. Hours passed, and as my family and I returned to the kitchen, we noticed something peculiar. The remnants of coffee had dried in the mug, forming a curious and unmistakable image—a face, eerily lifelike, staring back at us from within the cup. Intrigued and slightly unnerved, we called to our family and friends to witness this unexpected phenomenon. We marveled at the uncanny image, debating its origins and significance. Unable to shake the feeling of awe, we decided to preserve the mug, its eerie portrait a testament to the inexplicable moments life can offer. Years have passed since that fateful morning, yet the image remains as clear and memorable as ever. Now, as we prepare to part with this extraordinary piece, we hope it finds its way to someone who shares our appreciation for the bizarre and the unexplained—a collector who will cherish this artifact as a glimpse into the mysterious intersections of brewed coffee and the brooding expression found in this mug.

The terms derive from the French word tasse(cup),which in turn derives from the Arabic loan-word into French tassa, andthe respective Greek suffixes -graph (writing), -mancy (divination), and -logy(study of). History Dwaasheid van het bijgeloof (Foolishness of superstition), a 1782 engraving by Daniel Chodowiecki.Tasseomancy followed the trade routesof tea and coffee and was practiced by both Baltic and Slavic nations. It isclosely related to the Romani people, whosenomadic lifestyle contributed to the spread of the practice. While tea leafreading originated in China, likely soon after the creation of tea, variousregions practice it with slight variations. Indicating that this form ofdivination was an oral tradition. It is not considered a closed culturalpractice, but oftentimes it is traditional to ask permission from a Romanielder as a sign of respect. [citation needed][1] Western tasseography can be linked tomedieval European fortune tellers who developed their readings from splattersof wax, lead, and other moltensubstances,[2] which are related to many similar andestablished rituals in Asia such as pagtatawas.[3] According to different sources, coffeefortune-telling first appeared in the Ottoman Palaces in the 1500s. Arabiccoffee is a coffee culture that later spread from Yemen to the rest of theMiddle East, Ottoman Empire andthe Balkans, and then to many parts of the world. Coffee started somewhere inthe Arab world and West Asia. When they werebored, the concubines in the Ottoman harem used to drink coffee and tell eachother fortunes to chat and gossip.[4] Method of tea-leaf reading Spring Pouchong tea (Chinese: 包種茶; pinyin: Bāozhòngchá) leaves that may be used for tasseography divination The Encyclopedia of Occultism &Parapsychology, Fifth Edition, Vol. 2, edited by J. Gordon Melton, notes: After a cup of tea has been poured,without using a tea strainer, the tea is drunk or poured away. The cup shouldthen be shaken well and any remaining liquid drained off in the saucer. Thediviner now looks at the pattern of tea leaves in the cup and allows theimagination to play around [with] the shapes suggested by them. They might looklike a letter, a heart shape, or a ring. These shapes are then interpretedintuitively or by means of a fairly standard system of symbolism, such as: snake (enmity or falsehood),spade (good fortune through industry), mountain (journey of hindrance), orhouse (change, success).Melton's described methods of pouringaway the tea and shaking the cup are rarely seen; most readers ask the querentto drink the tea off, then swirl the cup. Regarding interpretation of leaves,according to James Randi, "Leaves on the bottom, we're told, indicate thedistant future, those on the rim the immediate future. Tea leaf stems representpersons. Fat stems are fat people, for example."[5] Fortune telling tea cups Zodiac cup andsaucer with zodiac signs and shamrock Although many people prefer a simplewhite cup for tea leaf reading, there are also traditions concerning thepositional placement of the leaves in the cup, and some find it easier to workwith marked cups. Beginning in the late 19th century and continuing to thepresent, English and American potteries have produced specially decorated cupand saucer sets for the use of tea-leaf readers. Many of these designs arepatented and come with instructions explaining their mode of use. Some of themost common were those that were given away with purchases of bulk tea.[citation needed]Coffee reading Cleas an ćopáin - Cup tossing, 1842 engraving by Nicholas JosephCrowley Coffee reading (Arabic: قراءة الفنجان, romanized: qirāʾat al-finjān; Persian: فال قهوه; Turkish: kahve falı; Greek: καφεμαντεία; Serbian: гледање ушољу) is traditionallypracticed using Arabic or Turkish coffee, as they produce a very thicksediment. The coffee in the cup is consumed, and the sediment is left tosettle. There are several variations of coffeereading. They commonly require for the cup to be covered with the saucer andturned upside-down. In the Turkish tradition, coffee-readers often interpretthe cup as being divided into horizontal halves: symbols appearing on thebottom half are interpreted as messages regarding the past, and symbols on thetop half are messages regarding the future. The cup may also be interpreted invertical halves to determine "yes" or "no" answers as wellas the overall outcome of the events represented by symbols. For example, somefortune tellers may "read" symbols in the "left" half as"negative" events or outcomes, while symbols in the "right"half are "read" as "positive". Other readers may adhere tothe belief that the cup is capable of revealing insights about the past, but itcannot predict events beyond forty days into the future. The saucer may also beincorporated into the reading. As with the cup, different variations exist forwhat the saucer represents, including whether the saucer sticking to the cupindicates a "positive" or "negative" outcome.[6] SymbolsWhen a cup of tea or coffee has beendrunk, a sediment often remains. This sediment can be known to formpatterns or symbols within it, leaving a perfect canvas for interpretation.There are many possibilities of images appearing in a cup.[7] Images formed in a cup are created anduniquely seen by the reader, so it is often said that the only limitation forcup reading is the imagination of the reader themselves.[8] Symbols can be many things, includingphysical objects and abstract concepts. Often, the reader will interpretsymbols together for a prediction as well as acknowledging their individualmeanings.[7] Symbol interpretation can be drawnfrom history, statistics, pop culture references, and often nature or how weinteract with the world.[1] There are also many classic imageinterpretations that were developed in Great Britain in the late 1800s astasseomancy gained popularity as a parlour game.[7] In popular culture Qari'at al-Finjan (قارئة الفنجان), a classic Arabic song In the Harry Potter books written by J.

Tea-Cup Reading, and the Art of Fortune-Telling by Tea Leaves, by 'A Highland Seer', from Project Gutenberg THE NEXT INFORMATION IS FROM WIKIPEDIA AUGUST 5, 2024 Pareidolia (/ˌpærɪˈdoʊliə, ˌpɛər-/;[1] also US: /ˌpɛəraɪ-/)[2] is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none. Pareidolia is a type of apophenia. Common examples include perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations; seeing faces in inanimate objects; or lunar pareidolia like the Man in the Moon or the Moon rabbit. The concept of pareidolia may extend to include hidden messages in recorded music played in reverse or at higher- or lower-than-normal speeds, and hearing voices (mainly indistinct) or music in random noise, such as that produced by air conditioners or by fans.[3][4]Etymology The word derives from the Greek words pará (παρά, "beside, alongside, instead [of]") and the noun eídōlon (εἴδωλον, "image, form, shape").[5] The German word Pareidolie was used in articles by Karl Ludwig Kahlbaum—for example in his 1866 paper "Die Sinnesdelierien"[6] ("On Delusion of the Senses"). When Kahlbaum's paper was reviewed the following year (1867) in The Journal of Mental Science, Volume 13, Pareidolie was translated into English as "pareidolia", and noted to be synonymous with the terms "...changing hallucination, partial hallucination, [and] perception of secondary images."[7]Link to other conditions Pareidolia correlates with age and is frequent among patients with Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies.[8]Explanations Pareidolia can cause people to interpret random images, or patterns of light and shadow, as faces.[9] A 2009 magnetoencephalography study found that objects perceived as faces evoke an early (165 ms) activation of the fusiform face area at a time and location similar to that evoked by faces, whereas other common objects do not evoke such activation. This activation is similar to a slightly faster time (130 ms) that is seen for images of real faces. The authors suggest that face perception evoked by face-like objects is a relatively early process, and not a late cognitive reinterpretation phenomenon.[10] A functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study in 2011 similarly showed that repeated presentation of novel visual shapes that were interpreted as meaningful led to decreased fMRI responses for real objects. These results indicate that the interpretation of ambiguous stimuli depends upon processes similar to those elicited by known objects.[11] Pareidolia is the illusory facial recognition in faceless objects. Pareidolia was found to affect brain function and brain waves. In a 2022 study, EEG records show that responses in the frontal and occipitotemporal cortexes begin prior to when one recognizes faces and later when they are not recognized.[12] By displaying these proactive brain waves, scientists can then have a basis for data rather than relying on people’s words. After a collection of the data, scientists can develop further information on the people’s words. These studies help to explain why people generally identify a few lines and a circle as a "face" so quickly and without hesitation. Cognitive processes are activated by the "face-like" object which alerts the observer to both the emotional state and identity of the subject, even before the conscious mind begins to process or even receive the information. A "stick figure face", despite its simplicity, can convey mood information, and be drawn to indicate emotions such as happiness or anger. This robust and subtle capability is hypothesized to be the result of natural selection favoring people most able to quickly identify the mental state, for example, of threatening people, thus providing the individual an opportunity to flee or attack pre-emptively.[13] This ability, though highly specialized for the processing and recognition of human emotions, also functions to determine the demeanor of wildlife.[14][self-published source?]ExamplesMimetolithsA more detailed photograph taken in different lighting in 2001 clarifies it to be a natural rock formation. A mimetolithic pattern is a pattern created by rocks that may come to mimic recognizable forms through the random processes of formation, weathering and erosion. A well-known example is the Face on Mars, a rock formation on Mars that resembled a human face in certain satellite photos. Most mimetoliths are much larger than the subjects they resemble, such as a cliff profile that looks like a human face. Picture jaspers exhibit combinations of patterns such as banding from flow or depositional patterns (from water or wind), or dendritic or color variations, resulting in what appear to be miniature scenes on a cut section, which is then used for jewelry. Chert nodules, concretions, or pebbles may in certain cases be mistakenly identified as skeletal remains, egg fossils, or other antiquities of organic origin by amateur enthusiasts. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Japanese researcher Chonosuke Okamura self-published a series of reports titled Original Report of the Okamura Fossil Laboratory, in which he described tiny inclusions in polished limestone from the Silurian period (425 mya) as being preserved fossil remains of tiny humans, gorillas, dogs, dragons, dinosaurs and other organisms, all of them only millimeters long, leading him to claim, "There have been no changes in the bodies of mankind since the Silurian period... except for a growth in stature from 3.5 mm to 1,700 mm."[15][16] Okamura's research earned him an Ig Nobel Prize (a parody of the Nobel Prize) in biodiversity in 1996.[17][18] Some sources describe various mimetolithic features on Pluto, including a heart-shaped region.[19][20][21] Seeing shapes in cloud patterns is another example of this phenomenon. Rogowitz and Voss (1990) showed a relationship between seeing shapes in cloud patterns and fractal dimension. They varied the fractal dimension of the boundary contour from 1.2 to 1.8, and found that the lower the fractal dimension, the more likely people were to report seeing namable shapes of animals, faces, and fantasy creatures.[22]Mars canalsMain article: Martian canalsMap of Martian "canals" by Percival Lowell A notable example of pareidolia occurred in 1877, when observers using telescopes to view the surface of Mars thought that they saw faint straight lines, which were then interpreted by some as canals. It was theorized that the canals were possibly created by sentient beings. This created a sensation. In the next few years better photographic techniques and stronger telescopes were developed and applied, which resulted in new images in which the faint lines disappeared, and the canal theory was debunked as an example of pareidolia.[23][24]Projective tests The Rorschach inkblot test uses pareidolia in an attempt to gain insight into a person's mental state. The Rorschach is a projective test that elicits thoughts or feelings of respondents that are "projected" onto the ambiguous inkblot images.[25] Rorschach inkblots have low-fractal-dimension boundary contours, which may elicit general shape naming behaviors, serving as the vehicle for projected meanings.[22]Banknotes Owing to the way designs are engraved and printed, occurrences of pareidolia have occasionally been reported in banknotes. One example is the 1954 Canadian Landscape Canadian dollar banknote series, known among collectors for the "Devil's Head" variety of the initial print runs. The obverse of the notes features what appears to be an exaggerated grinning face formed from patterns in the hair of Queen Elizabeth II. The phenomenon generated enough attention for revised designs to be issued in 1956 which removed the effect.[26]Literature Renaissance authors have shown a particular interest in pareidolia. In William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, for example, the titular character points at the sky and "demonstrates" his supposed madness in this exchange with Polonius:[27][28] HAMLET Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in the shape of a camel? POLONIUS By th'Mass and 'tis, like a camel indeed. HAMLET Methinks it is a weasel. POLONIUS It is backed like a weasel. HAMLET Or a whale. POLONIUS Very like a whale. Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote a short story called The Great Stone Face in which a face seen in the side of a mountain (based on the real-life The Old Man of the Mountain) is revered by a village.[29]ArtSee also: Hidden face Renaissance artists often used pareidolia in paintings and drawings: Andrea Mantegna, Leonardo da Vinci, Giotto, Hans Holbein, Giuseppe Arcimboldo, and many more have shown images—often human faces—that due to pareidolia appear in objects or clouds.[30]The Jurist by Giuseppe Arcimboldo, 1566. What appears to be his face is a collection of fish and poultry, while his body is a collection of books dressed in a coat. In his notebooks, Leonardo da Vinci wrote of pareidolia as a device for painters, writing: If you look at any walls spotted with various stains or with a mixture of different kinds of stones, if you are about to invent some scene you will be able to see in it a resemblance to various different landscapes adorned with mountains, rivers, rocks, trees, plains, wide valleys, and various groups of hills. You will also be able to see divers combats and figures in quick movement, and strange expressions of faces, and outlandish costumes, and an infinite number of things which you can then reduce into separate and well conceived forms.[31]Salem by Sydney Curnow Vosper (1908), a painting notorious for the belief that the face of the devil was hidden in the main character's shawl Salem, a 1908 painting by Sydney Curnow Vosper, gained notoriety due to a rumour that it contained a hidden face, that of the devil. This led many commentators to visualize a demonic face depicted in the shawl of the main figure, despite the artist's denial that any faces had deliberately been painted into the shawl.[32][33] Surrealist artists such as Salvador Dalí would intentionally use pareidolia in their works, often in the form of a hidden face.ArchitectureIllusory woman in the Niğde Alaaddin Mosque portal Two 13th-century edifices in Turkey display architectural use of shadows of stone carvings at the entrance. Outright pictures are avoided in Islam but tessellations and calligraphic pictures were allowed, so designed "accidental" silhouettes of carved stone tessellations became a creative escape. Niğde Alaaddin Mosque in Niğde, Turkey (1223), with its "mukarnas" art where the shadows of three-dimensional ornamentation with stone masonry around the entrance form a chiaroscuro drawing of a woman's face with a crown and long hair appearing at a specific time, at some specific days of the year.[34][35][36]Divriği Great Mosque and Hospital in Sivas, Turkey (1229), shows shadows of the three-dimensional ornaments of both entrances of the mosque part, to cast a giant shadow of a praying man that changes pose as the sun moves, as if to illustrate what the purpose of the building is. Another detail is the difference in the impressions of the clothing of the two shadow-men indicating two different styles, possibly to tell who is to enter through which door.[37]ReligionFurther information: Perceptions of religious imagery in natural phenomena There have been many instances of perceptions of religious imagery and themes, especially the faces of religious figures, in ordinary phenomena. Many involve images of Jesus,[25] the Virgin Mary,[38] the word Allah,[39] or other religious phenomena: in September 2007 in Singapore, for example, a callus on a tree resembled a monkey, leading believers to pay homage to the "Monkey god" (either Sun Wukong or Hanuman) in the monkey tree phenomenon.[40] Publicity surrounding sightings of religious figures and other surprising images in ordinary objects has spawned a market for such items on online auctions like eBay. One famous instance was a grilled cheese sandwich with the face of the Virgin Mary.[41] During the September 11 attacks, television viewers supposedly saw the face of Satan in clouds of smoke billowing out of the World Trade Center after it was struck by the airplane.[42] Another example of face recognition pareidolia originated in the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral, when a few observers claimed to see Jesus in the flames.[43] While attempting to validate the imprint of a crucified man on the Shroud of Turin as Jesus Christ, a variety of objects have been described as being visible on the linen. These objects include a number of plant species, a coin with Roman numerals, and multiple insect species.[44] In an experimental setting using a picture of plain linen cloth, participants told that there could possibly be visible words in the cloth collectively saw 2 religious words, those told that the cloth was of some religious importance saw 12 religious words, and those who were also told that it was of religious importance, but also given suggestions of possible religious words, saw 37 religious words.[45] The researchers posit that the reason the Shroud has been said to have so many different symbols and objects is because it was already deemed to have the imprint of Jesus Christ prior to the search for symbols and other imprints in the cloth, and therefore it was simply pareidolia at work.[44]Computer visionGiven an image of jellyfish swimming, the DeepDream program can be encouraged to "see" dogs. Pareidolia can occur in computer vision,[46] specifically in image recognition programs, in which vague clues can spuriously detect images or features. In the case of an artificial neural network, higher-level features correspond to more recognizable features, and enhancing these features brings out what the computer sees. These examples of pareidolia reflect the training set of images that the network has "seen" previously. Striking visuals can be produced in this way, notably in the DeepDream software, which falsely detects and then exaggerates features such as eyes and faces in any image. The features can be further exaggerated by creating a feedback loop where the output is used as the input for the network. (The adjacent image was created by iterating the loop 50 times.) Additionally the output can be modified such as slightly zooming in to create an animation of the images perspective flying through the surrealistic imagery.Auditory In 1971 Konstantīns Raudive wrote Breakthrough, detailing what he believed was the discovery of electronic voice phenomena (EVP). EVP has been described as auditory pareidolia.[25] Allegations of backmasking in popular music, in which a listener claims a message has been recorded backward onto a track meant to be played forward, have also been described as auditory pareidolia.[25][47] In 1995, the psychologist Diana Deutsch invented an algorithm for producing phantom words and phrases with the sounds coming from two stereo loudspeakers, one to the listener's left and the other to his right, producing a phase offset in time between the speakers. After listening for a while, phantom words and phrases suddenly emerge, and these often appear to reflect what is on the listener's mind.[48][49]Deliberate practical useMedical education, radiology imagesCross-section of male nematode worm Ascaris Medical educators sometimes teach medical students and resident physicians (doctors in training) to use pareidolia and patternicity to learn to recognize human anatomy on radiology imaging studies. Examples include assessing radiographs (X-ray images) of the human vertebral spine. Patrick Foye, M.D., professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Rutgers University, New Jersey Medical School, has written that pareidolia is used to teach medical trainees to assess for spinal fractures and spinal malignancies (cancers).[50] When viewing spinal radiographs, normal bony anatomic structures resemble the face of an owl. (The spinal pedicles resemble an owl's eyes and the spinous process resembles an owl's beak.) But when cancer erodes the bony spinal pedicle, the radiographic appearance changes such that now that eye of the owl seems missing or closed, which is called the "winking owl sign". Another common pattern is a "Scottie dog sign" on a spinal X-ray.[51] In 2021, Foye again published in the medical literature on this topic, in a medical journal article called "Baby Yoda: Pareidolia and Patternicity in Sacral MRI and CT Scans".[52] Here, he introduced a novel way of visualizing the sacrum when viewing MRI magnetic resonance imaging and CT scans (computed tomography scans). He noted that in certain image slices the human sacral anatomy resembles the face of "Baby Yoda" (also called Grogu), a fictional character from the television show The Mandalorian. Sacral openings for exiting nerves (sacral foramina) resemble Baby Yoda's eyes, while the sacral canal resembles Baby Yoda's mouth.[53]In popular cultureSee also: Among Us § Memes and modsMany Internet memes about the online game Among Us exploit pareidolia, by showing everyday items that look similar to crewmates from the game. In January 2017, an anonymous user placed an eBay auction of a Cheeto that looked like the gorilla Harambe. Bidding began at US$11.99, but the Cheeto was eventually sold for US$99,000.[54] Starting from 2021, an Internet meme emerged around an online game called Among Us, where users presented everyday items such as dogs, statues, garbage cans, big toes, and pictures of the Boomerang Nebula that looked like the game's "crewmate" protagonists.[55][56] In May 2021, an eBay user named Tav listed a Chicken McNugget shaped like a crewmate from Among Us for online auction. The Chicken McNugget was sold for US$99,997 to an anonymous buyer.[57]Related phenomena A shadow person (also known as a shadow figure, shadow being or black mass) is often attributed to pareidolia. It is the perception of a patch of shadow as a living, humanoid figure, particularly as interpreted by believers in the paranormal or supernatural as the presence of a spirit or other entity.[58] Pareidolia is also what some skeptics believe causes people to believe that they have seen ghosts.[59]See alsoClustering illusionEigenfaceHitler teapotMadonna of the ToastMondegreenMusical ear syndrome – similar to auditory pareidolia, but with hearing lossOptical illusionPerceptions of religious imagery in natural phenomenaSignal-to-noise ratioReferences "pareidolia".
