Excerpt from Card Fortune Telling: A Lucid Treatise Dealing With All the Popular and More Abstruse Methods It is a very curious fact that there should be four suits in a pack of cards, although as already shown these balance nicely with the four Estates: Priests or Rulers, Warriors or Fighting Men, Merchants or Artisans, and the Tillers of the Soil or common people. An early Eastern form of the game of Chess was a four-players variation, each alternate player partnering his vis-d-vis, just the same as in modern Bridge or Whist. The two partners in this form of Chess used pieces of a similar colour - two using red pieces, the other pair using white or black! Then from the East, dating from about the same period, we have the four suits of the Tarocchi cards, again two red and two black. All this points Clearly to a common Eastern origin for Chess and Cards, and the probability seems to be that card playing or Divination has been derived from Chess. It is worth noting that there is an Obscure form of Chess in which the pieces are all off the board at first, as are the cards in the hands of a player; they are placed on the board or table one at a time, as the player's turn comes round, and they are not active till they are thus displayed - just as in card games.

Excerpt from Telling Fortunes by Cards: A Symposium of the Several Ancient and Modern Methods as Practiced by Arab Seers and Sibyls and the Romany Gypsies, With Plain Examples and Simple Instructions to Enable Anyone to Acquire the Art With Ease The art of telling fortunes by cards, known professionally as Cartomancy, has been practiced for centuries. In our day and generation divination by cards is chiefly employed for amusement and pastime, for the entertainment of one's self or one's company, or at church fairs, charity bazars, and the like: but in the days of the ancients it was practiced by prophets and sibyls as a serious business, and so accepted by all, from king to peasant. Certainly there were some remarkable coincidences, to call them by no other name, in the fulfillment of many cartomantic divinations, of which history maintains a record. To cite but one: The Story Of Josephine, Empress Of The French. Josephine Tascher de la Pagerie, while in her native land of Martinique, had been approached by an aged negress, who astonished her through declaring to her: "You will ascend upon the loftiest throne in the world."

Reading Russian Fortunes examines the huge popularity and cultural impact of fortune-telling among urban and literate Russians from the eighteenth century to the present. Based partly on a study of the numerous editions of little fortune-telling books, especially those devoted to dream interpretation, it documents and analyses the social history of fortune-telling in terms of class and gender, at the same time considering the function of both amateur and professional fortune-telling in a literate modernizing society. Chapters are devoted to professional fortune-tellers and their clients, and to the publishers of the books. An analysis of the relationship between urban fortune-telling and traditional oral culture, where divination played a very significant role, leads on to a discussion of the underlying reasons for the persistence of fortune-telling in modern Russian society.
