6. Bölüm: Fortune-Telling, Nazar & Turkish Superstitions
Listen now
Description
In Turkey, fortune-telling (aka 'fal') is both a cultural tradition, a social pastime, and a form of therapy.  In this episode, we're spilling the tea -- or rather the Turk kahvesi grounds -- with Kaan from Symbol Cafe in Beyoglu. He'll take us step-by-step through a coffee cup reading and explain some of the other age-old superstitions. Most importantly, he'll teach us how we can protect ourselves from that infamous Evil Eye.  Please subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Facebook or Instagram @TheTurkishBreakfastClub... or be cursed with seven years of fuzzy audio quality!
