The Witches' Dream Book; and Fortune Teller: Embracing full and correct rules of divination concerning dreams and visions, foretelling of future events, their scientific application to physiognomy, palmistry, moles, cards, &c.; together with the application and observance of talismen charms, spells and incantations.
Noe, A. H.
Dreams; Fortune-telling
If the hair is indented at the temples, the person will be affable,
steady, good-natured, prudent and attentive to business, of a good
constitution and long-lived.
If the hair descends low upon the forehead, the person will be selfish and
designing; of a surly disposition, unsociable and given to drinking. He
will be addicted to avarice and his mind will be always intent upon the
means of carrying on his schemes.
The forehead that is large, round and smooth, announces the lady or
gentleman to be frank, open, generous and free, good-natured and a safe
companion; of a good understanding and scorns to be guilty of any mean
action; faithful to his promises, just in his dealings, steadfast in his
engagements and sincere in his affections; he will enjoy a moderate state
of health.
If the forehead is flat in the middle, the gentleman or lady will be found
to be vainglorious and but little disposed to generosity; very tenacious
of his honor, but brave; he will be fond of prying into the secrets of
others, though not with the intention of betraying them; he will be fond
of reading newspapers, history, novels, and plays; ardent, and very
cautious of his own reputation.
If there be a hollow across the forehead, in the middle, with a ridge as
of flesh, above, and another below, the gentleman will be a good scholar,
and the lady a great manufacturer, or attentive to whatever occupation she
may be engaged in. They will be warm in argument or debate; they will be
firm and steady in any point they fix their minds upon and by their
perseverance will generally carry their object; yet they will meet with
many crosses, but will bear them with patience.
If the forehead juts out immediately at and over the eyebrows, running
flat up to the hair, the gentleman or lady will be sullen, proud,
insolent, imperious and treacherous; they will be impatient when
contradicted, apt to give great abuse, and to strike if they think they
can do it with advantage. They will also impose upon any person, never
forgive any injury and by their misconduct make themselves many enemies.
If the temples are hollow, with the bones advancing towards the forehead
on either side, so that the space between must be necessarily flat, with a
small channel or indentation rising from the upper part of the nose to the
hair, the gentleman or lady will be of a daring and intrepid temper,
introducing themselves into matters where they have no business, desirous
of passing for wits, and of a subtle and enterprising nature; greedy of
praise, quick in quarrel, and of a wandering disposition; very lewd, and
full of resentment when they feel their pride hurt. In short, they delight
in mischief, riots, &c.
