How to tell fortunes : containing Napoleon's Oraculum and the key to work it; also tells fortunes by cards, lucky and unlucky days, signs and omens.

Step into the world of cartomancy with a compact handbook that lays out the basic hierarchy of the playing cards and what each symbol may reveal. It explains why the Ace is supreme, followed by King, Queen, Knave and the numbered cards, and then walks the listener through the four suits, assigning each a general temperament—from the generally happy Clubs to the more ominous Spades. The guide also points out how a card’s position in a spread can flip its meaning, offering a quick reference for both upright and reversed readings.

Beyond the core meanings, the book expands to cover related omens such as lucky and unlucky days, signs in nature, and even a brief illustration of Napoleon’s famous Oraculum. Each of the thirty‑two cards used in the system receives a concise description, letting listeners match personalities, events, or emotions to the cards they draw. Whether you are a curious beginner or someone looking for a handy reference, the narration provides clear, practical examples that make the art of fortune‑telling approachable and fun.
