Foreseer of good adventure which reads you the lines of your heart, your hands and even of your head by means of sand, stones, cards, coffee cups, and “sibha” (chains)

She has various talents supernatural (monologuist of good adventure, healer, conspicuous, exorsist…

Formerly they come each morning by whole groups from “El ala” and of “Ennaouyel Ouled echamekh” (villages of Kairouan) and disperse in the lanes of the city with a basket on the back while shouting “Hay ettaguaza" because they are paid either in (corn, semolina, bread, eggs…) or in cash.

My mother who from time to time wished to give a small chance of divertissement to the “sabbahat” (tisserandes) when they come to help for the construction of the “snadel” (bedside rugs) to pay me the expenses of boarding school and “kessouet el aid” (clothing of the aid) often called upon the “tagaza” and made it enter to the “skifa” for a session of clairvoyance.

My mother who liked to surround herself by “tagaza” listened to their consulting with much attention, of amazement and veneration because she believed that it had something of divine by reporting you of the last facts or to come with an incredible precision.

The “tagaza” guesses you and predict all of what you think, what will happen to you and what will happen to you with a small margin of error. However, they avoid predicting the bad fates for you with a quasi magic language like poetry

Well before the advent of echography, “tagaza” will tell to the pregnant woman (you will have a boy), to the students (you will span two “tabia” – wall and my mother understood that I will have the “chehada” and pass the exam of the sixth grade at the same time, with the girls (the charming prince will arrive soon, I see it coming) and will show you stones and a piece of carbon at the bottom of a sieve filled of corn and barley. It was really a spectacle, very amusing in which people believed deeply.

Happy events were born thanks to the predilection of the “tagaza” and you will end up saying if you are filled and satisfied (here are days that the tagaza announced to you) do not you think you !

Nowadays the “tagaza” do not run any more in the streets. does not go from door to door. To see them it is necessary to go to consult them in their village.

Currently, clairvoyance is a tendency practice. Great personalities of the political world and appeal there to predict their future.

Art to predict the character, the personality and the destiny through the lines of the hands is called chiromancy appeared since the vane of times at the Chinese and the Indians. The famous philosopher Aristote spoke a certain time ago and it was necessary to await XVe century (1475) so that German of the name of HORTLICH and two French DESBAROLLES and ARPENTIGNY four centuries later (1840) speak seriously and lay down the rules.
