We met this man in Mali, Africa. He was "reading the fox feet". He is a soothsayer, meaning he is a teller of the future. The night before the reading he will draw a grid in the sand and place peanuts in different places on it, depending on the person for whom he is telling the fortune. The next morning he will "read" the tracks left by the foxes during the night, much like reading tea leaves in a coffee mug. Collection Dotty Walters, Golden, CO.
