Russian Gypsy Fortune Telling Cards

Ms. Wakame says:

It’s interesting how Touchkoff talks about her personal experiences with the cards in the introduction:

“My own life has been affected by the cards. I began using them in my late teens. At that time I wsa afraid of them because the HEARSE card kept coming up for me all the time, warning me of serious illness or death. I also had what seemed to be a short life line on my palm. I stopped using the cards, thinking that by avoiding the issue I would somehow escape the imminent death that I saw.

Then when I was twenty-one, my legs began to go numb, and I lost control of my bladder and bowel functions. Still I avoided going to the doctor, hoping it would go away. Finally I had to go to my doctor as I could no longer walk. A nonmalignant tumor was found in my spine. I was rushed to the operating table, and five hours later, was free of the growth.

Miraculously, the next time I did the cards, the HEARSE card did not appear. This was my first insight into the positive powers that the cards hold. They were there to warn me of danger, not to predict my demise. Had I gone to the doctor earlier, I would have had a much easier year and spared myself the embarrassment of not being in control of my body functions…”

If anyone is interested in reading more, I got this off the excerpt from the Look Inside feature on Amazon.

I am of the Rromani Karldarash (Russian) Rromani tribes.
These are replicas of Rromani card origin. Not just Russian but
Russian Rromani (authentic Gypsy). They were not created at the
time of the late eighteen hundreds or nineteen hundreds they were
just shared by the Rromani woman with a non Rromani woman out of
friendship and trust. Their are many various tribes of Rroma and
many various oracles as a result but they have elements within all
that unite them. They do not tell you your future they help you
with wisdom about the future that was and is already being created
from within and around you. They offer a channel to the higher
power within each universal, so that you can hone your instinctual
awareness to align your mind with your divine. The reason people
know it is there reading is that is speaks to you in a way that you
know it is only picking up the voice of the higher wisdom and warns
against listening to our lower negative whisperings wishing to
deceive and harm us. Like the story of the angel on one shoulder
and the Devil on the other. In essence it comes from the “good
guys” within each of us, above, below, within and all around. There
is much history unprecedented not yet revealed to most in regards
to the stereo types, persecution and a 1000 year misunderstanding
about the real Rromani and the spiritual traditional culture still
lived and practiced till today by many Rromani world wide. The
medicine cards, fortune telling cards(spiritual,physical fortune)
are a true blessing and a wonderful complimentary healing art, to
many of the east meets west alternative ancient healing arts now
found in our Western world. As Ms Wakame said I have witnessed all
of my life since the age of eight years old as I am a tribal member
and traditional “Dobodni” oracle reader of the Rroma myself.
Blessings to this good medicine and to the people it helps bring
spiritual awareness, enlightenment and instinctual atonement to;
good fortune to you all<3
