Summary | "How to Tell Fortunes: Containing Napoleon's Oraculum and the Key to Work It" is a guide on divination practices written in the early 20th century. This work explores various methods of fortune-telling, including card reading, interpreting signs and omens, and predicting lucky and unlucky days. The book serves as a comprehensive resource for those interested in the mystical arts of forecasting the future and understanding the implications of different cards and signs. The opening of the text introduces readers to the structure of fortune-telling, primarily focusing on card divination. It outlines the ranking and symbolism of cards within four suits—Clubs, Hearts, Diamonds, and Spades—each with distinct meanings that can shift based on their positions during a reading. Various examples are given illustrating how to interpret combinations of cards, providing guidelines on practical methods like dealing cards by threes or sevens. This early section lays the groundwork for understanding deeper layers of interpretation in fortune-telling, aiming to equip readers with the skills necessary to discern their destiny through card readings.
