“To most people the world “Gypsy” conjures a host of exotic images and far-away places. Although the typical layman may claim complete ignorance of real-life Gypsies, one thing he is likely to know is that Gypsies tell fortunes. Throughout their nine-hundred-year migration from India, Gypsy women have indeed earned their livelihood through fortune-telling. In numerous and diverse settings, including the contemporary United States, Gypsies have continued to offer spiritual services to the surrounding non-Gypsy population.” From the “Rev. Sister Navajo: Reader and Adviser—Deciphering Gypsy Fortune-Telling Handbills,” by Carol Silverman
