Gypsy Rickwood's Fortune Telling Book | Free Book
Gypsy Rickwood
This intriguing book on the mystic art of fortune telling was first
published in the 1920s, and is very scarce in its first edition.
OBSCURE BOOKS PRESS has now re-published it using the original text.
Gypsy Rickwood wrote this book "for the English speaking public in the
hope that would give good counsel to many, and some amusement to those
who regard it simply as a game." His method is a very old one,
practiced by wandering tribes of gypsies long before it was ever set
down roughly on paper, and the answers to the questions have been
slightly modernized by the original translator. One hundred and twenty
five pages are divided into the fifty four questions which a fortune
teller is most likely to be asked. These are almost always on four
main subjects: - Concerning Life. - Concerning Love. - Concerning
Chance. - The Last Lap. (Old age and the distant Future.) The gypsy's
reply depends upon a turn of the card, with some 3000 answers listed
in the book. The author emphasises that the accuracy of the answers
depends largely on the sincerity of the questioner. If questions of an
unsuitable nature are asked, the answers should be given in the same
frivolous vein! This is a most entertaining little book which will
prove both a source of amusement to some and thought provoking to
others. "From the truth to a lie is but a hands-breadth." Romany
Proverb.
