Fortunetellers can use many tools — candles, incense, a crystal ball — but if they are practicing cartomancy, they’ll have a deck of cards. The word “cartomancy” comes directly from the French “carte,” meaning “card,” and “-mancy,” which is a combining form that implies divination. A standard deck of 52 playing cards includes the suits of clubs, diamonds, spades, and hearts, but if the cartomancy comes from a tarot deck, there are many different styles. Additional suits include wands, cups, swords, and coins, all open to interpretation.
