Fortune-telling (2)

As well as the gypsy palmistry, we have the results of a traditional Finnish method of reading the New Year's runes. This involves melting a small horseshoe-shaped piece of tin and tipping the molten metal into a bucket of cold water. The shape of the resulting lump reveals images that tell the tale of the year ahead.

Anna MR was master of ceremonies. The shadows of my tin mostly resembled a quill, a mushroom, a carnation, and something distinctly phallic.

I leave interpretation to you, dear reader.

Sounds as if you guys would need to set up a blacksmith's before telling your fortunes! What complexity! Anyway, I think 'Selfish Kanikoski' would be a great name for a novel . . .
