Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune-Telling, with a Gypsy-English Dictionary

First published in 1891, Charles Godfrey Leland’s Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune-Telling is a fascinating and unsettling journey into the mystical traditions of the Romani people. This remarkable work preserves spells, charms, and divinatory practices whispered through generations, revealing a hidden world of sorcery, spirit-conjuring, and prophetic arts.

In these pages are detailed accounts of love spells, protective charms, curses, and rituals of healing, alongside methods of fortune-telling by cards, dreams, and signs. Leland not only records these practices but also provides a Gypsy-English dictionary, unlocking the secret language behind the mysteries.

Part folklore collection, part occult manual, Gypsy Sorcery and Fortune-Telling remains one of the most important records of Romani magical traditions—an intimate glimpse into a world where every word, charm, and gesture carried power over fate and fortune.
