Summary "Telling Fortunes by Cards" by Mohammed Ali is a comprehensive guide on the art of cartomancy, likely written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a symposium detailing various ancient and modern methods of fortune-telling using playing cards, and is influenced by practices from Arab seers, sibyls, and Romany gypsies. The primary focus is on teaching readers how to interpret the cards to reveal insights into the past, present, and future, complete with examples and instructions for aspiring practitioners. The opening of the work introduces the concept of cartomancy, explaining its historical significance and evolution from a serious practice used by prophets to a modern pastime. The text highlights an intriguing story about Josephine, Empress of the French, receiving prophetic readings through cartomancy that foretold her rise to power amid perilous times. It sets the stage for the reader by emphasizing that, while the practice can be entertaining, it is also grounded in a long tradition of belief in the cards' ability to convey truths about individuals' lives. The author asserts that with study and practice, anyone can master the art of telling fortunes by cards, making it accessible to a wide audience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
