spiritual readings Methods

Common methods used for fortune telling in Europe and the Americas include

astromancy, horary astrology, pendulum reading, spirit board reading, tasseography

(reading tea leaves in a cup), cartomancy (fortune telling with cards), card

reading, crystallomancy (reading of a crystal sphere), and cheiromancy (palmistry,

reading of the palms). The latter three have traditional associations in the popular

mind with the Roma and Sinti people (often called “gypsies”).

Another form of , sometimes called “reading” or “spiritual

consultation” does not rely on the use of specific devices or methods, but consists

of the practitioner transmitting to the client advice and predictions which are said

to have come from spirits or in visions. This form of tarot readings is

particularly popular in the African-American community.
