There is evidence that fortune telling was practiced in many ancient cultures, even as far back as 4000 BC. The image that most people conjure up when thinking about fortune tellers is based on Romani fortune tellers, who sold fortunes at fairs by reading palms, tarot cards, scrying crystal balls and who created charms and spells for customers. Fortune telling was an important part of Romani tradition and this pattern is based loosely on traditional Romani dress.
