A handbook of popular fortune-telling: the meanings of every card from the ace of clubs down, with reversed readings, and methods for dealing by threes, sevens and fifteens, the Italian and English methods, the star spread and ways to learn if a wish will come true. Lists of household omens and superstitions fill out the book.
A record of parlour amusements and folk belief, best read as social history rather than a guide to the future. Download the free EPUB.
