Fortune Telling Cards

These are certainly among the best-known fortune telling cards in the U.S., 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 Encyclopaedia 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 U. S. 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 of the cards has a specific symbolic meaning, which becomes significant in the context of its position in the layout.

The gypsy witch fortune telling cards all contain original, standard faces, reduced so that the meanings and illustrations can occupy the remaining space.

A Lot less scarier than Tarot cards.

I got these because Tarot cards scare the death out of most people, we had a girly night in, the vino was flowing and we all had a turn, amazing stuff was told to us all, we had a brill time and felt better after we had our predictions, cos the biggest part of us was down right unhappy, until we had the good news of course.
