2.6 THE LUCKY THIRTEEN
Take a joker or some odd card and place it face up to represent the consultant. Around it add twelve more cards face down, exactly as shown here. The letters on the cards show the way they are to be paired. Turn up the two marked “A” and interpret them in terms of the consultant. Do the same with the Pair marked “B.” These represent the closest influences to the consultant.
2.5 THE SEVEN TRIPLETS
METHODS OF FORTUNE TELLING
**************************
Three methods of telling fortunes by cards are given here. In each instance the interpretations of the cards follow those give the preceding tables. Sample interpretations are included.
THE SEVEN TRIPLETS
******************
The seven triplets are also called the “Seven sisters” or the “Seven fates.” This system requires twenty-one cards from a shuffled pack of a full fifty two. After the shuffle, the pack should be cut into three heaps by the consultant, who, for some ceremonial reason, should always do this with his or her left hand.
Three cards are then dealt face up, one from each heap, forming a cluster. This is followed by a deal of three more and so on, until seven heaps have been dealt in all. Each of the heaps is then interpreted according to the cards that compose it. The center card of each group (the one coming from the middle heap) is the focal card about which the prediction is centered. The triplets illustration shows a typical example. Follow it closely and note the interpretations.
