Fortune telling with playing cards is a lost art. This is most unfortunate as the regular 52 card deck is an incredible filter for psychic intuition and a mouthpiece through which spirit guides may speak. Telling Fortunes by Cards originally publish in 1914 goes into great detail about the card reading practices on Romani Gypsies and Middle Eastern seers and teaches the reader how to lay card spreads and interpret the common deck of playing cards. Little is known about the author Mohammed Ali but those who travel in spiritual circles can be grateful to him for having compiled such an informative work on the subject of playing card divination. This current edition features an introduction by New Orleans Voodoo priest and psychic James Duvalier.
