Fortune Telling Fun
This websites intent is to acquaint the visitor with various fortune telling systems and mystical items, and suggests how to actively use them for entertainment purposes. Because this field is so diverse, we have chosen to focus mainly upon Cartomancy. While the various fortune telling system histories and metaphysical associations are intriguing, they are of only incidental import to a practicing fortune teller, and so are only mentioned in passing. Although gentle tool handling is strongly encouraged, this website does not concern itself with how these tools might be used, cleansed, or otherwise treated for spiritual or esoteric purposes.
Forewarning: Anyone interested in the idea of Fortune Telling needs to realize the depressing fact that the overwhelming majority of persons that seek out professional Fortune Tellers will not be interested in being told the truth. These clients only want validation for whatever they have already decided that they need or want, and will probably get irrationally upset and lash out at you personally if you report something contrary.
