2005-01-22: Not Madame Sosostris

Place Denfert-Rochereau, Paris (14e), France

Madame Ranah, who had set up shop Saturday on the Place Denfert-Rochereau, seems to be a gypsy of all trades. The yellow sign, not really legible in this resolution, reads: "Gypsy Seer. Past. Present. Future. Occult Sciences. Ink Blots. Specialist in Problems of the Heart" (as if she needed to say the last). The larger sign adds that she is a medium, a disciple of Allan Kardec (whose tomb in the Père Lachaise cemetery is one of the most visited), that she does Kalah Naga and Egyptian Tarot, palm reading, crystal ball, and (presumably ordinary) tarot, that she receives clients every day but Sunday, and that she can do readings based on photos and writing samples. Not bad! And you can get a hot dog next door!

This really made me laugh. A great catch.
