The Square of Sevens: An Authoritative Method of Cartomancy with a Prefatory Note
Ruth Hart
"The Square of Sevens: An Authoritative Method of Cartomancy with a Prefatory…" by E. Irenaeus Stevenson is a manual on the art of cartomancy, or fortune-telling using cards, written in the late 19th century. The book outlines a specific method called the "Square of Sevens," which utilizes a unique card arrangement and interpretation system. It reflects the prevalent fascination with the occult and mysticism during this period, as well as the societal trends of divination practices in Victorian England. The content delves into the step-by-step process of creating and interpreting the Square of Sevens, providing detailed instructions on how to draw insights about the past, present, and future through the arrangement of cards. Central to the practice is the notion of "Wish-Cards," which add a personal touch to the readings. Stevenson also includes a comprehensive "Tavola," or table of significances, that elucidates the meanings of various card combinations. Throughout the book, themes of fate, luck, and human experiences are explored, invoking the reader's curiosity about the mystical connections within everyday life.
