      Pahlavi Cartomalcy or Card Reading - Sarah Adelaide Moulton

      INTRODUCTORY

      ..................

      THE HISTORY, OF CARTOMANCY, OR card-reading, dates back to a time so remote and obscure that it has no authentic beginning. So far as can be learned, all of the earlier forms of cards were used solely for such purpose, or for instruction.

      They were introduced into European countries by wandering tribes of Gypsies, who are supposed to be lineal descendants of Egyptian races, and who were, and still are, noted as card readers. The cards originally used by them were what is known as Tarot Cards, having but little resemblance to the modern playing cards.

      In India, Persia, China and other Oriental countries, traces are found of cards which at a very early date were used for divination and instruction.

      From the Tarot Cards, however, have been derived the modern playing cards. The number of cards in the pack have been reduced, and the symbols and methods of use have also been materially changed.

      The Tarot Cards were primarily adapted and used for cartomancy, and only incidentally for games; whereas the modern cards are adapted and used mainly for games, and only incidentally for cartomancy; the use for instruction having wholly disappeared.

      J. C. Hotten in History of Playing Cards says:

      To ourselves, cards serve as a mere pastime; but their Asiatic inventors had a far different object in view, aiming rather at a means of instruction and consolation than of amusement and recreation.

      Cartomancy is still largely practiced, usually for amusement only, but very often there will be startling surprises due to accuracy of results. By what law this is accomplished, no one in our day has yet discovered. In departing from the earlier symbols and methods of the Orientals, who can say how much of knowledge and of ability to produce results has been lost to us? Obviously, enough remains to excite curiosity, and to make it appear worth while to investigate further. May not these ancients who treated the matter more seriously, have been in possession of knowledge concerning laws governing the apparently accidental combinations of symbols, and of methods of manipulation and reading that we know not of and superior to our own?

      In the PAHLAVI system is provided devices and methods broader and more comprehensive than those in common use. In this system the cards have great diversity of meaning and embrace nearly every phase of life from the highest to the lowest, so that the reader will with practice be able to give a reading with as great accuracy and detail as is now possible in cartomancy. When more than one meaning is given the reader is free to choose that which is best adapted to the other features of the reading.

      We have given a sample reading, which if carefully studied will enable anyone to understand the method. While absolute correctness in all respects may not be attained, with a little practice one may make such readings (which are now quite popular) very interesting and entertaining, and their accuracy will very often be quite surprising, as well. As a rule one can do better for a comparative stranger rather than for an acquaintance of whose affairs the reader has knowledge.

      Before attempting to learn to give readings, lay out the cards in the order given in inset and read them carefully according to the sample reading, as an illustration; also refer to the meanings of these cards as given from page 13 to 64.
