A WORD OF ADVICE.
It will be found of material assistance to the complete understanding
of each of the following methods of telling fortunes to have in your
hands a 32-card pack as you read, and to carefully follow out the
details with the exact cards mentioned in the text. We strongly
recommend this plan to the student who desires to become an adept in
the art.
SPECIAL NOTE.
In all the following methods the 32-card pack is used, which consists
of the ace, king, queen, jack, ten, nine, eight and seven only of each
suit, and usually the extra Consultant card to represent the person
consulting the cards.
When about to consult the oracle, the cards should be arranged in the
following manner before shuffling: King, queen, jack, ace, ten, nine,
eight and seven of each suit. This precaution should be taken for
every consultation, whether for yourself or for another person, as
without this the permutation may chance not to be perfect.
