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
SATURN is happily placed when we find his line wholly running to his
region, but less happy when he presents some inauspicious characters;
unhappily, if he shows confused and unfortunate signs; he governs the
spleen, bones and bladder. When he is fortunate he makes men silent,
provident, of good and profound counsels, such as think and study much and
are somewhat sorrowful; men that are puffed up with an ambitious spirit,
and whose aim is honors. And these are slender of body, somewhat tall,
pale and feeble, their hair blackish, eyes hollow; they are fortunate in
tilling of ground, and in metals of all sorts, yet more careless of their
wives, and less addicted to the pleasures of love; foolishly laughing and
jesting, also tenacious and worldly minded, unjust, &c. But, if Saturn be
unfortunate or froward, he makes men sorrowful, laborious, sordid, humble,
covetous, liars, malicious, envious, &c., and encumbered with perpetual
griefs and anxieties.
A gross line running from the interval of the middle and fore finger to
the mensa, and breaking or interrupting it, denotes diseases or wounds in
the lower part of the body.
XV.--SOL.
If the SUN fortunately rules, he makes men faithful, ingenious, honored,
high minded, wise, humane, religious, just, moderate, aged, and such as
always manage their affairs honestly. He gives a body well composed, and
adorns it with yellow hair; he governs the heart, midriff, nerves, &c.
But, if unfortunate, he gives men that are proud and highly elated,
manifesting their access to dignities by unjust means, boasters and
immodest. He brings fluxes of rheum upon the eyes, and thereby hurts both
them and the mouth, trembling of the heart, syncope, &c.
XVI.--LUNA.
The MOON happy and fortunate, makes men famous, honest and honorable and
of a large body; yet well proportioned, pleasant also, and sometimes
voyages by sea and walking by the sides of rivers; but, if any way
dissenting in the other, unconstant both in life and action, yet tending
for the most part to the best. She rules the brain, stomach and belly, but
if unfortunate she portends a various and inconstant kind of line,
weakness, and increase of griefs and anxieties, she thus causes paralysis,
&c. A commotion of the members, oftentimes an epilepsy and canker, spots
in the body, severe colic, and whatever else proceeds from abundance of
cold and moisture, and more especially when the lines found in the
tuberculum of the moon do appear very pale; if there be fair and comely
signatures near the ferient, they denote happiness to the man in his
journeys and messages, and in foreign countries. To the woman, felicity
and fertility in bearing of children, ominous signs do show the contrary.
XVII.--MERCURY.
