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
The nose that is small, tapering round in the nostrils and cocked up,
shows the person to be ingenious, smart, of a quick apprehension, giddy
and seldom looking into consequences; but generous, agreeable, so as to
carefully avoid giving offence; but resolute in doing himself justice when
he receives an injury.
The lips that are thick, soft and long, announce the person to be of weak
intellect, credulous and slightly peevish, but by a little soothing easily
brought back to a good humor. He is much addicted to the pleasures of
love, and scarcely moderate in his enjoyment of them; yet he is upright in
his conduct and of a timorous temper.
If the under lip is much thicker than the upper, and more prominent, the
person is of a weak understanding, but artful, knavish and given to
chicanery to the full extent of his ability.
The lips that are moderately plump and even, declare the person to be
good-humored, humane, sensible, judicious and just, neither giddy nor
torpid, but pursuing in every particular a just medium.
The lips that are thin, show the person to be of a quick and lively
imagination, ardent in the pursuit of knowledge, indefatigable in labor,
not too much attached to money, eager in the pursuit of love, more brave
than otherwise and tolerably happy in life.
The lips that are thin and sunk inwards, denote the person to be of a
subtle and persevering disposition, everlasting in hatred and never
sparing any pains to compass his revenge; in love or friendship much more
moderate and uncertain.
The chin that is round, with a hollow between it and the lip, shows the
person to be of a good-humored disposition, kind and honest; he is sincere
in his friendship and ardent in his love; his understanding is good and
his genius capacious. If he has a dimple it makes him better.
The chin that comes down flat from the edge of the lips and ends in a kind
of a chisel form, shows the person to be silly, credulous, ill-tempered
and greedy of unmerited honors; captious, wavering and unsteady; he will
affect great modesty in the presence of others, though he will not scruple
to do the vilest actions when he thinks himself secure from discovery.
The chin that is pointed upwards shows the person to be much given to
contrivances. However fair he may speak to you, you can never depend on
his friendship, as his purpose is only to make you subservient to his own
designs. In love his generosity will be of the same stamp.
Of the face in general, the person whose features are strong, coarse and
unpleasant to the eye, is of a selfish, brutal, rough and unsocial
disposition; greedy of money, harsh in expressions, but will sometimes
fawn with a bad grace to gain his ends.
The face that is plump, round and ruddy, denotes the person to be of an
agreeable temper, a safe companion, hearty, jovial, fond of company, of
sound principles and a clear understanding, faithful in love, &c.
