Editorial Reviews

Review
Following on from her unexpected success with The Good Spell Book, Kemp stays in that novelty/gift book market with an appealing cloth-bound volume decked out with ribbon page marker, "hand-written" special recommendations ("If you don't have a crystal ball, use a bowl of water") and a smattering of floral illustration as a suitably decorative way to encourage divination. While it might not really be possible to locate your future partner with an apple seed, it's fun to experiment along with cartomancy, candle magic, dice, tea leaves and even bay leaf prediction. This is fun, makes an attractive present, and ties in with the surge of interest in all things esoteric and alternative. As astrologer Kemp concludes, "Beautiful and wonderful things do happen, we attract them to us by living in the hope and expectation of them." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Have you ever wondered what good things the future will bring? Whats next for your love life, your career? Look into your crystal ball with the help of this enchanting little handbook for aspiring fortune-tellers that shows you how to develop your sixth sense and to glimpse your futureor that of others. Filled with practical advice, gypsy folklore, and both ancient and modern divinations, this delightful book will reveal the future to all those who believe. Like its predecessor, The Fortune-Telling Book looks like a family treasure that has been passed down through generations. Ribbon markers, handwritten notes, and mysterious keepsakes are tucked between the pages. Kemp includes only the most user-friendly techniquesmost of the divinations are simple enough to be used as party games. The Fortune-Telling Book uses common objects like a bowl of water (in lieu of that crystal ball), playing cards, tea leaves, dice, and other items found in every home.

4.0 out of 5 stars More than just tarot, July 5, 2003
By Robin M Goffinet (Richmond, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This handy book gives alot of ways for divining the future. It contains scrying, tea leaves, and using regular playing cards to tell the future. Doesn't go into a lot of detail on everything but is a good place to start if you are a beginner. I love the way the book is fashioned, kind of like a personal diary.
