Then  there  are  the  Roma  people  who  use  reputed  occult  powers,  usually  Tarot,  palmistry  and  curses  to  gain  favor  from  the  Gadje  (Gentiles).  It  is  likely  that  their  reputed  powers  led  to  persecution._Many  use  the  cards  to  get  impressions,  others  recognize  rules  for  what  each  card  means.  Palmisty  is  another  system  that  can  go  either  way.  Some  really  have  psychic  gifts  and  some  are  frauds  and  there  is  no  way  to  know,  although  those  that  do  not  require  gifts  are  usually  truly  psychic,  although  palmistry  has  never  shown  much  success.
