For centuries, a great mastery of magic through their divinatory arts has been related to the history of the Gypsy people. These divinatory arts were carried out mainly through the crystal ball, the cartomancy or the reading of the lines of the hand. Their fame was more than justified, because their premonitory gift wasn't something fictitious, but could be checked with facts and evidence, and a special relationship with the time of casting and curing the evil eye was associated to them.
In reference to the cartomancy, the Gypsy people even have their own Tarot, of which there are already references in the fifteenth century, a few years after they began to travel Europe (it isn't known whether from Egypt or India); and they also have their own Horoscope, which, like the Western one, is divided into a dozen signs.
