The pack of fifty-two cards is taken, shuffled, cut in three, and the
meanings ascribed to the cut are explained. Then they are laid in rows
of five till the whole pack is exhausted, except the two last, which
are useless. The first row is to represent "the person for whom you
are acting"; the second, "the house"; the third, "your wish"; the
fourth, "the surprise," and the fifth, "what is supposed to come
true." The first ten are now read _lengthwise_, the others in the same
manner till the fifth row has been explained; then they are taken from
end to end, each pair being interpreted as arrived at. In this case
there is no significator, as the first row is supposed to stand for
what will happen immediately to the consultant. They are all gathered
together, shuffled and cut, and laid in packets of three. The
consultor is desired to choose one of the three parcels, and that is
laid out first and explained; then follow each of the other two, which
must be also read in the same manner.
