Theory part

When you pour jelly on top of your morning porridge (dark blueberry and lingonberry jelly are best), add light vanilla cream on top. Did you know that now is your chance to see your success in the day ahead if you can read the patterns formed by vanilla cream.

Vanilla in this context means a spice obtained from the plant Vanilla planifolia. Under no circumstances should synthetic vanillin (C8H8O3) be used.

How does vanilleography work?  

Like all prediction practices, reading vanilla patterns is based on the concept of energy control. As we focus on our magical intentions, vanilla patterns become energetic reflections that can predict future events until the next morning.

First of all, you need to think about the size of your porridge portion. There must be plenty of room for berry jelly. What matters in pouring vanilla cream is whether you do it right-handed or left-handed. It is important for pattern formation. The most reliable result ( forecast ) is obtained when you do it spontaneously and act as you would always do. In the amount of vanilla cream you need to curb your desire so that there is enough space to form a pattern.

"Acerca de la predicción de vainilla del sur de México, About Southern Mexico Vanilla Prediction" - written by Alejandro Álvarez in 1881  - offers a comprehensive list of standard vanilla cream symbols and their meanings. The most suitable contemporary topics from Álvarez's book have been selected for this presentation.

Moon Phase Patterns  

Several of the patterns formed by vanilla cream resemble the phases of the moon. The following are, according to Álvarez, the most typical structures. It must be remembered that manuality has a significant effect here. The pattern is formed differently when the pouring force is directed from the left or right. It must be taken into account in the interpretation.

1. -2.  Crescent Shapes: Sharp shapes to the right reflect the progressiveness of your day’s activities, your earlier ideas at the beginning become clearer and clearer, you can hopefully launch new activities.

3. - 4. Half Moon shape on the left: Today you express willpower, determination and active self-confidence.

5. Full Moon mode: Today you get the energy you want for the final completion of your performance. You will feel complete satisfaction with yourself and your accomplishments. Completion can cause a feeling of emptiness and with it insomnia.

6. - 7. Half Moon shape on the right: The day will be marked by cooperation and sharing of experiences. Likewise, there is an assessment and consideration of new goals, but not so much decision-making.

 8. - 9. Crescent Shapes: The sharp shapes left give you energy to complete your unfinished business within a day, with the risk of lingering boredom, procrastination and failure. If you succeed now, your day will be marked by inner peace and maturity.

10. New Moon shape (i.e. cream at the end): One might think that the absence of cream is irrelevant, but it reflects the distraction and confusion that had already begun the day before. It has been due to excessive focus on something or to future activity. The risk of damage due to negligence increases.

After detecting these basic forms, attention must be paid to the deviations of the contours and their position from the eater. Minor deviations from baseline away from the eater do not affect basic interpretation. Instead, nearby changes interfere with and weaken the energy provided by the baseline pattern for the probable realization of the prediction.
