The Fortune Teller (1895) by Art Nouveau painter Mikhail Vrubel, depicting a cartomancerThe Cartomancer fortune-teller (c. 1508, Lucas van Leyden)
Cartomancy is fortune-telling or divination using a deck of cards.[1] Forms of cartomancy appeared soon after playing cards were introduced into Europe in the 14th century.[2] Practitioners of cartomancy are generally known as cartomancers, card readers, or simply readers.
Cartomancy using standard playing cards was the most popular form of providing fortune-telling card readings in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The standard 52-card deck is often augmented with jokers or even with the blank card found in many packaged decks. In France, the 32-card piquet stripped deck is most typically used in cartomantic readings, although the 52 card deck can also be used. (A piquet deck can be a 52-card deck with all of the 2s through the 6s removed. This leaves all of the 7s through the 10s, the face cards, and the aces.)
In English-speaking countries, the most common form of cartomancy is generally tarot card reading. Tarot cards are almost exclusively used for this purpose in these places.[3]
