Basic Gypsy Domino Fortune Telling
Gypsies are said to practise a very old system of
fortune telling and divination with a standard Double-Six domino set.
As with all divination methods, the person conducting the reading should
use their own intuition and instinct to interpret a more specific
meaning in the tiles, and only use the meanings described here as a
general guide.
Be warned that reading your own fortune or repeating
the process more than three times in a week for a single individual, may
bring bad luck and backfire on both the subject and the interpreter.
Superstition also holds that readings made on a Monday or Friday are
unlucky.
The person seeking a reading from the dominoes
should shuffle them all face down while silently asking a question in
their mind that
they seek guidance on, or just generally considering
their possible future life outcome.
(Note that 0 represents the blank suit value)
The general interpretations of the individual suit values are
as follows:
- 0 = The subject who seeks an answer to a
question or insight into their future
- 1 = Journeys or travel
- 2 = Relatives, loved ones and close friends
- 3 = Romance
- 4 = Wealth, material prosperity and
finance
- 5 = Work and career
- 6 = Fortune and luck
Each tile should be positioned and read horizontally
with the two suits on either end of a tile interpreted from left to right.
The subject should draw a domino from
the mixed boneyard with their left hand and set it horizontally in front
of him/her. This shows their fortune for
roughly one month ahead.
