Now you can tell fortunes just as the Gypsies have done for hundreds of years when you use Ray Buckland's "Gypsy Fortune Telling Tarot Deck." The Gypsies have always been associated with the Tarot, and may even have been the group that introduced them to Europe over 600 years ago. Ray Buckland, famous for his works on Witchcraft, is from a Gypsy (Romani) family and reveals the secrets of Gypsy fortune telling with this deck and forty-eight page booklet. Although the traditional Tarot deck with its Major and Minor Arcana totalling seventy-eight cards was used by Gypsies, such decks were often hard to obtain. Thus, many Gypsies altered standard decks of playing cards to use for Tarot readings. This deck is based upon the one Ray Buckland's grandmother used. The cards are the size of a deck of playing cards, so they are easier to carry than other decks. The twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana are numbered starting with one and have images from Gypsy life, usually involving the "vardo, " or Gypsy wagon. The booklet not only gives the meaning of the symbols but also the way the cards should be interpreted. The Minor Arcana cards look like a regular deck of playing cards, but the aces each have a different "vardo" on them and there are four face cards in each suit. The people on them are typical Gypsies. Again, the booklet explains the way to interpret the cards. The booklet includes a full ten Tarot spreads that you can use, some published here for the first time. If you are interested in Gypsies or the Tarot, you must have this deck.

Finally there is a Tarot that embodies the spirit of the Gypsies. The Buckland Romani Tarot is a beautiful new deck that follows the traditional form of the tarot, but incorporates Gypsy forms and symbol. Drawing on his experiences with his Romani (English Gypsy) family, Raymond Buckland has teamed with artist Lissanne Lake to produce a beautiful deck that embodies the rich traditions and deep, earthy wisdom of these passionate people. Anyone who is familiar with the cards will enjoy this refreshing new approach, and anyone new to the tarot will enjoy the ease of use and down-to-earth nature of this attractive deck. The accompanying book presents a full set of fresh, insightful interpretations written specifically to match this deck, along with traditional meanings. It also includes a Romani-English word list, historical background on the Gypsies, guidance on caring for and using the cards, and a selection of spreads. Many books on the tarot are so obscure and complex that they end up discouraging everyone but the advanced practitioner. In contrast, this book is written in simple language, that makes reading and studying the tarot a joy. In addition, it relays fascinating historical facts about the Gypsies. Although the exact origins of the tarot are shrouded in the mists of antiquity, we know one thing for certain-it is the Gypsies who are most directly responsible for keeping this ancient fount of wisdom from fading into obscurity. Now Raymond Buckland finally gives them the credit they are due. Discover how, in their wanderings, they have preserved the arcane wisdom of many lands and civilizations. Let the Romani Tarot help you see the world through Gypsy eyes.
