Russian Fortune Telling

Like many civilizations in the world, even Russia has its own method of fortune telling that is famous in the country.

In Russia, mostly gypsies are the ones who tell the future. They are widely traveled, and they never live in one single place their entire life. People have respect of their foretelling capabilities because they can read the omens well.Most of the gypsies who tell the fortune in Russia are very old and can be nearly 80 years old. So, people completely believe when they have something to say. Many gypsies actually died during the World War II. However, those who survived have made sure that they passed on their knowledge. Even today the offsprings of the gypsy survivors in Russia practice fortune telling as their profession.

Russian fortune telling by gypsies involves using a deck of cards. There are several pictures on the cards like the road, dog, horseshoe and many more. Several of these pictures represent good and bad omens. The gypsies will split these cards into half and scatter them into 25 cards of each set. This means each card has four smaller cards. They are laid down in five rows of five cards each. The reader will then rotate and make a set of one card. Depending on what each quarter represents, the prediction is made.
