Once more from the rising sun of the East further marvelous theories
have reached us through the paths of the ages. To many of our prosaic
Western minds, maybe not unnaturally, these ideas will at first sight
appear almost ridiculous. However, do not condemn numerical mysteries
unheard, for no Manual of Fortunetelling would be complete should it
not include a talk on this most arresting subject.
Students of numbers, as do astrologers and students of palmistry,
declare that there is no such thing as luck or chance in the world.
They also state that we are strongly but not inevitably influenced by
certain powerful laws of Nature.
Number science is certainly unknown to the great majority of us, but
there are some superstitions which are based on evil numbers; these
superstitions we treat with great respect. Very few of us really care
to sit down thirteen at table, while I have known a man go sad and
smokeless rather than be the third to light his cigarette off one match!
Fortunetelling by numbers is allied to astrology very closely indeed.
Let us now take each day of the week individually and see what
information we can get from it. You will find that very useful as a
check upon your other forms of fortunetelling.
