It’s the official book trailer for Secrets of Romani Fortune Telling, the debut book by Paulina Stevens and Jezmina Von Thiele, creators of Romanistan podcast. Secrets of Romani Fortune Telling is available for preorder until October 7th, its official release. Preorders are incredibly helpful. Secrets of Romani Fortune Telling is the story of Romani fortune telling as a survival trade, as well as a how-to guide to popular divination for beginners and seasoned diviners alike from two generational fortune tellers. ‘Roma’ refers to the Indian diasporic ethnic group more commonly known by the slur/misnomer Gypsies, a word that many Roma reclaim proudly but it is not for others to use/ appropriate. (Not to be confused with Romanian.) You might have read that Gypsies are mysteriously linked to fortune telling, but these books don’t tell you the real story. Fortune telling, the labor of divination, is one of many survival trades that some Roma have practiced through centuries of persecution since leaving India. This book is for anyone wanting to have a more culturally aware and authentic relationship with tarot, palmistry, and tasseomancy (tea & coffee reading). We also share our stories growing up in this work, and perspectives from other Romani practitioners & creatives. 🧿We are on book tour, visiting wonderful venues such as ChagallPAC, HausWitch, Deadwick's Ethereal Emporium, Barnes & Noble, and many more for book signings, talks, Q&A, & workshops! The tour will culminate with the Welcome to Romanistan Festival in New Orleans from December 3-8, in parthership with Bimbo Yaga Productions. Visit romanistanpodcast(dot)com for the schedule, ways to support, & prizes! Please share with/ tag your favorite diviners, witches, and curious friends 💚❤️💙Book by Paulina Stevens & Jezmina Von Thiele. Published by Red Wheel / Weiser Books. Trailer & music by Viktor Pachas. #secretsofromanifortunetelling #booktrailer #weiserbooks #romanistan #romani #roma #romany

Happy Pride from your friendly neighborhood Gypsies! & Happy Gypsy, Roma, Traveller Hostory Month too! We love our LGBTQIA+ listeners & Romani community, whether your in or out of the closet (your choice). In a time when queer, trans, & Romani identities are criminalized, we encourage you to “do crime” by existing, surviving, & thriving. Pride month was started by Black and Brown trans folks & drag queens fighting for their right to be in the Stonewall Riots of June 28, 1969. Gypsy, Roma, Traveller History Month has been around since 2008, and gives us an opportunity to learn & share our past. There’s a lot to celebrate now, & there’s a lot to fight for still. Thanks for listening. 💚❤️💙#gypsyromatravellerhistorymonth #pridemonth #pride #romani #roma #romany #romanistan #romanistanpodcast #podcast #queer #trans #nonbinary #lgbtq #lgbtqia #bi #gay #begaydocrimes #begaydocrime #soundsgayimin #soundsgay #outofthecloset
