THE TEXTS

In no particular order I present some of the books in my possession which I have accumulated with no rhyme or reason that will be used for readings:

Fortune Telling For Fun and Popularity by Paul Showers dates to 1942 and is a hodgepodge of cartomancy, palmistry, astrology and other modes of fortune telling.

The next book is Wenzell Brown's How to Tell Fortunes With Cards from 1963. The dates of my collected books are randomly convenient in that they are dated 1942, 1963 and 1996. Roughly 20-30 years apart to account for each generation living, Another from 1916 and present day would bolster this random collection.

Fortune Telling With Playing Cards by Sophia is a Barnes & Noble book so I'm not sure what to expect. Since they also publish classics it might not be a stretch to suggest that this tome could also become a classic. Honestly, I've yet to read a single page of it. That shall change soonly.

Ace of Clubs " The Ace of Clubs is a card of talent. It tells of high hopes and ambitions and denotes strong passions, imagination, energy and the power to communicate with others. Inherent in the card, however, is the suggestion that promises a...

Reading #1: Myself

The spread is as shown above and laid out in the directions given by Wenzell Brown in his book How to Tell Fortunes With Cards . Center Card : "By and large, the central card (number 1) represents either the Querent (the sitter), his personality and the nature of his problems, or the primary influences which are moving through his life at the present moment." Six of Diamonds "The six of diamonds is a card of well-being, physical comfort and economic security. When it lies in the middle of the spread, it may emphasize the importance of these things to the Querent. The Six of Diamonds may indicate the comfortable circumstances of the Querent or it may guide him towards securing desired ends. "Frequently the appearance of the Six of Diamonds in the spread offers the Querent a choice between moderate financial well-being accompanied by security and ease of mind or a more advantageous road which may be studded with pitfalls and uncertainties. This is particularly true if...
