Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Cards, Playing Card Deck! BRAND NEW

Description: Fortune Telling Playing CardsOriginally designed just after the turn of the century, this deck makes a good, accessible deck for people who want to tell their fortunes on the coffee table over tea. It's certainly easier than reading tea leaves, and that's part of its enduring popularity.Based on the divination system of Madame Lenormand, mystic to the wealthy and powerful of 19th century Europe, this deck has the symbolic meanings of the cards written right on their faces. The entire system fits neatly in the little leaflet that accompanies the deck. The system isn't trivial, but in conjunction with card meanings that don't have to be looked up, a novice can sit down and make a reading in just a few minutes, with no awkward pauses.And with time and practice, any reader can be come positively facile with the provided tableaux, and be able to move on to more complex and specific techniques. This is certainly among the best-known fortune-telling deck in the US, aside from such Tarot decks as the Rider. It has been in continuous publication since its introduction in 1904, and remains to this day essentially unchanged.The Encyclopedia of American Playing Cards says of it: "Gypsy Witch celebrated Fortune Telling cards by Madame Lenormand, copyrighted 1903 by Frederick J. Drake Co., first published by Home Game Co., in 1904. This deck has been published continuously and is currently being made by US Playing Card Co., using the same faces. The recent edition has a witch on the backs replacing the original river scene."As with every other fortune telling deck, each card has a specific symbolic meaning, which becomes significant in the context of its position in the layout. The cards all contain original, standard faces, reduced so that the meanings and illustrations can occupy the remaining space.
