Welcome to Your Future!
Hello. I am catherine yronwode and this is a catalogue of the material culture of fortune telling, with an emphasis on the lesser-known and more unusual forms of divination, especially as perpetuated through my own collection of ephemeral artifacts of the 19th and 20th centuries.
This site is a book-end or companion-piece to The Mystic Tea Room, my web site devoted to the material culture of tea leaf reading or tasseomancy.
The unique spelling of Your Wate and Fate -- that is, the substitution of Wate for Weight -- comes from the slogan on the narrow side-panel of an American Scale Company penny scale that i happen to have in my downstairs bathroom.
Your Wate and Fate was begun on January 14th 2021 for the use and enjoyment of my Patreon supporters, who fund my work. On January 14th 2022 the first pages of this site opened up to the public.
If you have purchased my book "Astrology for Rootworkers" and want to learn more about my posthumous collaborator, go to the page on Prof. A. F. Seward: World's Foremost Astrologer.
Support Your Wate and Fate
All of the material you have access to here -- the fabulous trading cards, the instructive booklets, the nostalgic postcards, the boldly graphic matchbook covers, and all of the historical information researched and shared from the mind of the woman who is making it all happen -- can easily fit into one 8 x 10 foot room in an old Victorian farmhouse, but you would never see it without the investment of the time it takes to produce such a site and the caloric input such a site requires in the form of food for the writer, graphic designer, and database manager, as well as the US currency needed to pay for the computers, software applications, scanners, electricity, and internet connectivity that bring it out of that little room and into the world.
Patrons have access to a Private Patreon sub-forum within the Lucky Mojo Forum, and are accorded special Red Star Avatar badges at the Forum. Sign up at Patreon.com/catherineyronwode to support "It's All Ephemera" now.
Important Notice
This is a site devoted to HISTORICAL IMAGES AND TEXTS. If you are triggered by words used to describe people in the past or by seeing cartoon images drawn in the past, please leave this site now. It is for HISTORIANS and not for you.
