check the signs

I do this sometimes 2 times a year, but usually in the early fall.  Go out and collect some acorns... I  crush them up, and let them dry for a few weeks.  then I put the crushed acorns in a fireproof dish, and set them on fire.

You watch them burn and make a wish for the coming year.  After they finish burning... us them like you would tea leaves, and read the signs in the ash. Same signs as tea leaves, but you get much more of a reading with the acorns.
