The Square of Sevens: An Authoritative Method of Cartomancy with a Prefatory Note

"The Square of Sevens: An Authoritative Method of Cartomancy with a Prefatory Note" by Edward Prime-Stevenson is a how-to guide for telling fortunes using cards, created in the late 1800s. The book describes a special process called the "Square of Sevens" and offers a one-of-a-kind setup and reading system. It mirrors the widespread interest in secret and magical ideas during that time, including how people tried to predict the future in Victorian England. It walks you through making and reading the Square of Sevens, giving clear directions on how to learn about what has happened, what is happening now, and what might happen in the future by looking at the placement of the cards. The idea of "Wish-Cards," which make the readings more personal, is very important to this practice. Prime-Stevenson also provides a full "Tavola," or table of meanings, which explains what different card combinations mean. The book looks at ideas of destiny, chance, and what people go through in life, making readers wonder about the hidden connections in their daily lives.
