On Stomach Pains and Stolen Mojos – A Health Reading
We often speak of ‘feeling things in our gut,’ but the connection between the mind and the stomach is more than just a figure of speech.

Keeping a Relationship - A Gypsy Fortunetelling Cards Reading
Piatnik’s Gypsy Fortunetelling Cards have a rich and diverse history of practical use in Europe. It all began in the 19th Century Austro-Hungarian Empire, where they first appeared, alongside other similar oracle decks, under the name Aufschalgkarten, usually consisting of 32 cards. This coincides with the popularity of a reduced Piquet deck of 32 playing cards used for divination in Central Europe. But in contrast to Lenormand decks which relied on the comparison with the playing cards through the use of small insets, they are unnumbered and bear no references to other fortunetelling systems.
