Beschreibung

"This book introduces the history of the Romani people and their infamous relationship to fortune-telling, which is both a job and a spiritual practice for Roma. The authors, cohosts of the Romanistan podcast, share their knowledge from their own personal experiences of being raised to be fortune-tellers, providing tips on how to emulate the professional polish that Roma have perfected over the centuries, as well as guidance for reading for clients with acumen and cultural awareness"--
