Romany Water Divination

Romany children play at divination using water and a stone to find the answer to a question. Here’s how it works:

Holding a stone, sit in front of a bowl of water and ask a question, one that can be answered with either a yes or a no.

Drop the stone into the water and carefully count the ripples it creates. An even number of ripples means yes; an odd number, no.
