This is a much shorter way, and instead of placing the cards as they
come, they must be first well shuffled by the person consulting, then
laid face downwards on the table and nine cards withdrawn (the
significator must be in the center). In this method the cards are
placed round the card representing the consultor in the order in which
they come, the first card drawn being put at the head of the
significator, and the others in rotation. The nine cards are first
explained as they lie, eight round and one over the significator.
Then the consultor is desired to again draw nine, and these are put
over the first nine; this is to be repeated a third time, combining
all the cards as they lay one over the other, three deep, every way.
