DIRECTIONS.

The person who is to reveal the future to some enquir-ing mind, should use thirteen cards in connection with thisbook, bearing respectively the numbers from one to thirteen.

The one who wishes to know his future, should havein mind some loved one. He then draws one of the thirteencards. The number being obtained, it is handed to therevealer of his destiny, who finds opposite this number,under the list of "The Gods," the god who will answer thequestion asked.

For example, if you were seeking for an answer toquestion III."Does He Love," and should draw the cardbearing the number 9, the god presiding would be Cupid,and the answer given by him would be

:

"I have loved you night and dayFor many weary months."

Proceed in this way with each question, always return-ing the card just used to the remaining twelve, which mustbe thoroughly mixed before drawing again.

It will be much more impressive and effective if done ina darkened room, for in the silence and the shadow thefuture is more fully revealed in all its mystic charms.
