Description
In Secrets of Romani Fortune-Telling, Paulina Stevens and Jezmina Von
Thiel introduce the history of the Romani people and their infamous relationship
to fortune-telling. They share divination methods, tools, and techniques that
have been created, adapted, or popularized by the Roma, including card
reading, palmistry, dream divination, and tea leaf and coffee reading. They also
share exercises to strengthen your intuition and discover your natural gifts and
explain how divination helps with shadow work, blockages, and self-awareness.
Fortune-telling is both a job and a spiritual practice for Roma. The authors,
cohosts of the Romanistan podcast, share their knowledge from their own
experiences of being raised to be fortune-tellers, providing tips on how to
emulate the professional polish that Roma have perfected over the centuries,
as well as guidance for reading for clients with acumen and cultural awareness.
Secrets of Romani Fortune-Telling also features additional resources,
enabling readers to further explore Romani culture and spiritual practices.
