  1. I don't know what they are called. However, it looks like cards that a gypsy or voodoo reader would use, it has several different ways of divining from them - the letters, the regular cards in the corners, and the actual picture, the astrology sign as well as the pictures at the bottom - I'm not sure at all what the pictures at the bottom might be. I think it was made for people who use more than one magic in their divinations - or combine magics. Maybe a form of santeria or voodoo.... I would assume it is very powerful and you should use with caution - take them to a local metaphysical store to see if they can give you more info. Or to an old psychic.
