The Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Cards trace their lineage to Mlle Lenormand, the legendary 18th-century French diviner whose predictions shaped European history. This 55-card system democratizes divination through accessible methodology—each card features numbered illustrations with printed meanings, eliminating the need for external interpretation guides. The deck bridges cartomancy and traditional card play, incorporating jokers for dual functionality. Since its 1903 introduction, the Gypsy Witch system has remained a cornerstone of American fortune-telling practice, valued for its straightforward symbolism and contextual depth. The included instruction booklet presents two reading layouts—abbreviated and extended—allowing practitioners to adapt their practice to available time and inquiry complexity. At 2.25" x 3.5", these cards offer a historically grounded alternative to tarot, particularly suited for those seeking direct, unambiguous guidance rooted in proven divination traditions.
