Dora Littman kept her family eating during the Great Depression by channeling for impoverished miners on Minnesota's Iron Range through reading cards, crystal balls, palms, & Ouija boards. Her amazingly accurate predictions were always tempered with practical advice.

Based on the wisdom & insight of the author's fortune-telling grandmother, Madame Dora's Fortune-Telling Cards are as funky & fun as they are psychically sound!

50 cards feature Madame Dora advisors such as Vocal Violet (“Speak Up”); Realistic Richard (“Check Out The Facts”; Playful Paula (“Lighten Up, Enjoy Yourself” -- which I got on my first play!); No Way José (‘Learn To Say "No"’); Wise Walter (“Don't Make Problems You Don't Have”) & Yes-but Yolanda (“Stop Focusing on Buts”).

To access Dora's cosmic wisdom, all you have to do is just pick a card, any card! Then read one of the five ways to interpret your card in the little purple, & apply the meaning to your life.

This is a hip, irreverent divination system for when you're at a stuck point -- unable to make a decision. It's also perfect for group get-togethers or quiet contemplation. The whimsical artwork makes it a charming addition to your psychic toolbox!

Lynn Lott (a grandchild of Madame Dora) & Jane Nelsen are both psychologists as well as a writing team behind the best-selling Positive Discipline series (Prima Publishing), which has sold hundreds of thousands of copies. Rick Naymark is also a grandchild of Madame Dora, a magazine writer, & runs his own marketing firm.
