Secrets of Romani Fortune Telling: Book Signing & Tarot Workshop with Jezmina Von ThieleSeptember 13 | 5-7 PM
Join local author, educator, podcaster, and fortune teller Jezmina Von Thiele (they/she) for an evening of story, spirit, and tradition. Jezmina will share what it was like to grow up in a multi-generational Romani fortune-telling family, and how that lived experience informed Secrets of Romani Fortune Telling by Paulina Stevens and Jezmina Von Thiele—part memoir, part practical guide, and part cultural reclamation.
After the talk, enjoy a free 30-minute workshop on how to read tarot intuitively, rooted in Romani practices and accessible for all levels. There will also be time for Q&A, and copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. The full event will run about an hour.
The Roma—also known by the slur/misnomer "Gypsies"—are a diasporic ethnic group originating in Northern India and spread throughout Europe and the Americas. For centuries, Roma have survived persecution through survival trades like fortune-telling, metalworking, horse trading, etc, passed down through generations. This event honors that history, offering insight into a living tradition that is often misunderstood and appropriated.
Come learn, listen, and connect to an ancestral practice in the spirit of cultural exchange and community care.
