Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante,
Had a bad cold, nevertheless
Is known to be the wisest woman in Europe,
With a wicked pack of cards. Here, said she,
Is your card…
The Wasteland, T.S Eliot
Cross this vending machine with silver and writer and fortune teller Kym Deyn will tell you your future.
Inspired by folk wisdom, the mysteries of the tarot, and vintage fortune telling machines like the famous Zoltar, Kym has produced a series of fortune telling cards that include a micropoem, lucky numbers and inauspicious days.
These cards are placed at the intersection between poetry and serendipity, words and magic. They are for wondering, for lifting back the veil in the same way a child lifts a rock in the woods: to peer at something strange. Think of the delicious otherworld of the fairground, filled with lights and spun sugar, tightrope walkers and fortune tellers.
