    About this ebook

    Speak of Cartomancy in a company, I will not say favourably, but merely sincere and without prejudice. First of all of ten persons eight will confess that they have consulted— secretly—card readers, and six at least will tell you that they have been surprised at the correctness of what was foretold them. Would it be possible to attempt, if not a doctrine, at least an explanation? I believe myself that a good cartomancer begins by guessing fairly correctly the state of mind of her clients. Being a physiognomist, she guesses from their appearance, their voice, their looks, by questioning them skilfully without their being able to see the drift of her questions which seem so alien to their cares, by drawing attention, for instance, to the meaning of some of the cards which she tosses so carelessly on the table, she guesses their secret desires, she reads them and makes deductions as to their past. Something then takes place in the cartomancer, combined of intuition, perhaps clairvoyance, suggestion, which lias the result that the client subsequently lets his thoughts travel in the direction of what has been foretold, and unconsciously works towards its fulfilment, whether the prophecy was of good to come or alas! of ill luck.We touch here upon Magic, of which I shall speak presently, where the power of the word so often has such powerful results. In the result, therefore, it is not so much the meaning of the cards or of the leaves of the Taroc which is of importance, as the state of mind created in the client with respect to the explanations given, and which might be different, arbitrary, and it is this state of mind which induces him to translate into reality the events foretold by the cartomancer. And it may even be asked whether the cartomancer, that is to say the intermediary between the client and the future, is necessary for the purpose of the former discovering the latter. What is known as a result, made alone, in the home, creates a similar state of mind, of autosuggestion, if we believe the words of Desbarolles :—“ If you attach faith to a sign of any kind, when you question this sign in your own way it will answer you, and it will answer you correctly if your faith is strong.”

      CARTOMANCY

      Chapter I.

      History of the Cards

      bukva_te he origin of the cards, at least according to Legend, is a story of love :—

      When Charles VI, King of France, began to feel the first signs of approaching madness, he was loved by a young girl of great sensitive ness called Odette, who devoted her life to him.

      The first thought of this loving girl was to distract the thoughts of her Prince. She was skilful to avoid the crises of terrible boredom which tormented him, and sought games, songs, stories capable of occupying the mind of the King. As there was much talk at that time of an invention which had come from the land of the Saracens and which consisted of coloured cards by means of which all kinds of amusing combinations could be arranged, she sent for a pack of this kind, and asked a painter to decorate others similarly. The plan succeeded, the royal lover had much pleasure, and in his lucid moments was able to follow the combinations ; it was seen that the crises which did him so much harm became less frequent.

      Legend—or if you prefer it a Chronicle of the period—adds that, a Saracen woman, having heard of the good influence which the game- had on the mind of the King, came one day to see Odette and offered to complete her knowledge :—

      You know how to arrange these cards so as to derive amusement from them, she said. I will teach you to arrange them so as to learn a lesson from them.

      She took the cards and spread them on a table and began to tell what their combinations revealed, just as if she were reading an open book. Astonished and delighted, Odette bought her secret.

      And since then, during seven centuries, the oracle of the cards has been consulted by thousands and thousands of people.

      engraved_mini

      This story, at bottom simple enough, had to become somewhat complicalled. It so happened that Odette was unable to keep her secret, and confided it, doubtless discreetly, to her companions ; but tongues move quickly, especially when some of them are in love.

      Soon the whole Court knew how to make the cards, and crowds came to the shop of the painter Jaquemin Gringonneur, the amiable decorator of the little cards.

      But certain fickle lovers were upset to find that the cards revealed their infidelities. Under the pretext that the card game led to losses of money, they obtained a royal edict which forbade their use.

      Now a soldier of the name of La Hire resolved to obtain the repeal of the edict by means of a trick ; for he owed gratitude to the Saracen invention thanks to which he had learnt of the love of a lady whom, without, their oracle, he would not have dared to court.

      He therefore asked Jaquemin to make a
