INTRODUCTORY 
 
 The history, of Cartomancy, or card-reading, 
 dates back to a time so remote and obscure thai 
 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 sup- 
 posed 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.* 
 
 Prom the Tarot Cards, however, have been de- 
 rived 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 incident- 
 ally for cartomancy; the use for instruction hav- 
 ing 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 re- 
 sults. By what law this is accomplished, no 
 one in our day has yet discovered. In departing 
 from the earlier symbols and methods of the 
 
 *See Facts and Speculations on the Origin and 
 History of Playing Cards— W. A. Chatto, Lon- 
 don, 1843; also History of Playing Cards, etc.— 
 J. C. Hotten, London, 1865. 
 
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 com- 
 binations of symbols, and of methods of manip- 
 ulation 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 under- 
 stand the method. While absolute correctness 
 in all respects may not be attained, with a lit- 
 tle 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.

 The Yellow, Blue and Red Spheres, the Ten of 
 Yellow, and the Eight, Nine and Ten of Black 
 are not changed in quality or meaning by any 
 other card or cards, but they are of such power 
 that they change the meaning of all other cards 
 located below them, or near them, as the case 
 may be as hereafter explained. 
 
THE SPREAD 
 
 The cards are first thoroughly shuffled, placed 
 face downward on the table and separated suffi- 
 ciently so that the back of each card can be at 
 least partially seen. This had better be done 
 by the reader, it being- only necessary that 
 every card be in sight, and no one able to tell 
 one card from another. 
 
 The Inquirer will now mentally "make a 
 wish" and then proceed to pick up the cards 
 one at a time as fancy or impulse may suggest, 
 and place one upon the other, face downward, 
 in a single pile. Do not hurry; follow any 
 mental impression, or let the hand move freely, 
 without any particular effort to direct it. This 
 is the important part of the process and deter- 
 mines what the reading will be. 
 
 The Reader now takes the cards, and holding 
 them face downward, begins with the top card 
 and spreads them on the table face upward, 
 one at a time, in a square of nine cards in each 
 row, counting from right to left, and six rows 
 counting from the top downward. The top card 
 of the pile is laid first, and at the upper right 
 hand corner of the spread. The next card is 
 placed at its left, and so on until there are nine 
 cards forming the top row. The tenth card is 
 laid directly below the first, and the second row 
 is now laid from right to left in like manner, 
 and so on until all of the cards are laid on the 
 table face up. They are now ready to be read. 
 The reader must be informed whether the 
 Inquirer is married or single, and if absent, 
 the age and sex. 
 
 THE READING 
 
 The Inquirer 
 
 The reader will first note the cards surround- 
 ing the card which represents the Inquirer 
 (Apollo, if a male; and Diana, if a female.) If 
 the cards are of high power, or strong cards, 
 the life will be strongly marked in whatever 
 respect indicated by the color, quality and 
 meaning of such cards; and if of lower power, 
 the life will be more commonplace. Next read 
 
the cards indicating- the Past, and then the row- 
 in which the card representing the Inquirer i& 
 located, reading from right to left and including 
 the card directly above the Inquirer as a part 
 of the row. 
 
 The Companion 
 
 In like manner read the row in which the cam 
 representing the companion is found (Apollo or 
 Diana, as the case may be.) If both the Com- 
 panion and the Inquirer are found in the same 
 row' it denotes a close relation and joint interest 
 in every matter indicated by the cards of the 
 rowv and they read to both alike, except the carci 
 above each, which relates more particularly to 
 that one alone. If Apollo or Diana is found in 
 the top row it indicates a person of independ- 
 ence of character or circumstances, or both. 
 
 The Home 
 
 The row in which the Home is found is read 
 tog-ether with the card above the Home. If the 
 Home is in the row w T ith either Apollo or Diana 
 the card directly above the Home is the only 
 one that is read as relating directly to the 
 Home. 
 
 The Past 
 
 Is indicated by the cards at each side of and 
 above the Nine of Black and their ruling and 
 qualifying cards, unless the Nine of Black fall 
 in the row with the Home, Inquirer or Com- 
 panion, in which event only the cards above it 
 are read as relating to the Past. 
 
 The Future 
 
 Is indicated in the same manner as the Pasr 
 by the cards near the Eight of Black, and read 
 in the same way. 
 
 The Wish 
 
 Is answered by the four cards next the four 
 sides of the Nine of Yellow, and will be granted, 
 delayed, realized in part, or denied, according 
 to the significance of these four cards. All four 
 cards have equal influence on the wish without 
 regard to relative location, and are not ruled 
 or qualified by other cards. 
 
 10 
 
THE SEPARATE CARDS 
 
 Each card has several meanings, depending on 
 its location relative to the other cards. The 
 cards of fixed quality (the Yellow, Blue and Red 
 Spheres, the Ten of Yellow and the Eight, Nine 
 and Ten of Black) are not changed in meaning 
 by the cards above them. All others may be 
 more or less changed thereby. In reading a 
 given card, the next card above it is called the 
 RULER and acts according to its color to change 
 or modify the meaning of the card being read, 
 and may in turn be modified by the next card 
 above. This second card above is called a 
 QUALIFIER, and imparts its quality of Good, 
 Neutral, or Evil to the RULER, and thus may 
 overcome or change the effect of a RULER of 
 a different quality. (See Inset.) 
 
 If the QUALIFIER is a card of fixed quality, 
 and of the same quality as the RULER, it will 
 add strength to the RULER; but if the QUALI- 
 FIER is a Neutral or Evil card, the RULER 
 becomes Neutral or Evil, and thus loses more 
 or less of the force due to its color or meaning. 
 Of course the upper row of the spread has 
 neither RULERS nor QUALIFIERS, and the 
 cards in this row are read as if ruled and quali- 
 fied by their own color and quality. The cards 
 of the second row have RULERS which act on 
 the cards below according to the color and with- 
 out change of quality. By carefully studying 
 the example, this will be fully understood. Any- 
 one can read for himself, or herself, as well as 
 for others. The following pages give the usual 
 meanings of the several cards, as variously 
 changed by position of RULER or QUALIFIER, 
 or both. 
 
 THE FOLLOWING RULES WILL BE 
 OF USE IN READING 
 
 1. In reading a card of fixed quality (the Yel- 
 low, Blue and Red Spheres, the Ten of Yellow, 
 and the Eight, Nine and Ten of Black) its mean- 
 ing is not changed by the card or cards above 
 
 >*c 
 
it, and its normal meaning, and its power over 
 near cards are only to be considered. 
 
 2. In reading- a card that can be changed in 
 meaning, first note the next two cards above it, 
 taking the color term (Yellow, Blue, Red or 
 Black) from the RULER (the next card above), 
 and the quality term (Good, Neutral or Evil) 
 from the QUALIFIER (the second card above.) 
 
 3. If only a RULER is above the card being- 
 read, the RULER retains its own quality and 
 color. 
 
 4. If a card is in the top row so that no card 
 is above it, it is ruled and qualified by its own 
 color and quality. 
 
 5. If either Apollo or Diana is in position of a 
 RULER or QUALIFIER, the remaining RULER 
 or QUALIFIER serves for both. If both Diana 
 and Apollo are over a card, then the card is not 
 ruled or qualified and is read the same as if in 
 the top row. 
 
 6. If a card of fixed quality is a RULER, then 
 the card next above it has no qualifying effect. 
 
 7. If the Past (Nine of Black) or the Future 
 (Eight of Black) are in the row with Apollo, 
 Diana, or the Home (House of Yellow) only the 
 cards above it relate directly to it. 
 
 12 
 
VARIOUS MEANINGS OF THE 
 SEVERAL CARDS 
 
 Apollo 
 
 This card always represents the Inquirer it: 
 the reading is for a gentleman; or if the reading 
 is for a lady it represents the husband if she- 
 is married, otherwise a lover or near male rela- 
 tive. The row in which this card is founa. 
 together with the cards above it, are read to it. 
 It has no influence on other cards. 
 
 13 
 
Diana 
 
 This card always represents the Inquirer, if 
 the reading is for a lady; and if the reading" is 
 for a gentleman it represents the wife, if he is 
 married, otherwise the sweetheart or near female 
 relative. The row where this card is found, 
 together with the cards above it, are read to it. 
 If both Apollo and Diana are found in the same 
 row the cards of the row relate to both alike 
 and the cards above to each alone.

 As a qualifier it strengthens good cards and 
 qualifies those on all four sides. 
 
 Above 
 
 This is the best and strongest card of any. II 
 found over the head of the Inquirer, or Com- 
 panion, it indicates a bright future, showing a 
 long life of happiness. 
 
 Below 
 
 If it should fall below the Inquirer or com- 
 panion, it would indicate a clearing away of 
 past troubles, either of ill health, loss of love, 
 money, or bad fortune generally. 
 
 Side 
 
 If next the Inquirer, Companion or Home, on 
 either side, it will overcome all bad influences. 
 In the same line it means success in all that is 
 good and right— justice will prevail— but it will 
 never aid in anything false or dishonest. If 
 next the wish on any side it will be granted.

 TEMPLE OF YELLOW 
 
 (Temple of Life) 
 
 Good and Ycllowf 
 
 When ruled by Yellow, this card ordinarily 
 represents a single man, usually handsome— a 
 good friend, bringing happiness to those around 
 him— in some cases he may represent a lover or 
 admirer. 
 
 Good and Blue 
 
 When ruled by Blue, a musician, or one fond 
 of music, in some form— or a popular man. A 
 young man of good intellect. 
 
 Good and Red 
 
 When ruled by Red, a physician, or nurse— or 
 one who is tender and kindly to the unfortu- 
 nate, even to animals— or someone who will 
 assist you— usually a person of middle age. 
 
 Good and Black 
 
 If ruled by good Black, a man who has a keen 
 insight into human life and its secrets— some- 
 times a bearer of news— or a brother or male 
 relative. 
 
 Neutral* 
 
 When ruled by Neutral cards, it indicates a 
 youth, or sometimes a small boy, or male infant. 
 
 Evil* 
 
 When ruled by Evil it usually denotes a wid- 
 ower—an old bachelor— or an old man. 
 
 f The First word indicates the quality of the 
 Qualifier and the Second word the color of the 
 Ruler. 
 
 * Indicates the combined effect of the Ruler 
 and Qualifier. Any color of Ruler, qualified by 
 any evil card, is evil.

 The Home 
 
 This represents the home of the Inquirer. If 
 the Ten of Yellow is the first or second card 
 above, it indicates a fortunate marriage— or a 
 happy eld ag-e. 
 
 All of the cards in the same row are read, as 
 relating to the Home, together with the two 
 cards above it. 
 
 If the Home is found in the same row with 
 the Inquirer or Companion, then only the two 
 cards above it relate directly to the Home, and 
 the rest cf the row reads to the Inquirer or 
 Companion. 
 
 TEN OF YELLOW 
 
 (Intelligence) 
 
 Fixed and Good 
 
 This card cannot be qualified. 
 
 This card in all cases shows gain by intelli- 
 gence. It is also prophetic of happiness. It 
 promises a most brilliant future— the best that 
 the world can give, with love, health, and enough 
 of wealth for contentment.

 The Wish* 
 
 This card represents the wish. 
 Good and Yellow 
 
 When Yellow rules, it denotes favorable 
 weather or good conditions— also escapes from 
 accidents— or good from some source over which 
 you have no control. 
 
 Good and Blue 
 
 When Blue rules you are, or will be, master of 
 conditions around you, for you have the power 
 to attain the things you have a right to— over- 
 coming of adverse conditions. 
 
 Good and Red 
 
 If Red rules, gains made by prompt, vigorous 
 action— taking advantage of circumstances— also 
 may mean an ambitious person. This is a good 
 card for the soldier, both on land and sea. 
 
 Good and Black 
 
 When ruled by good Black, it shows the power 
 to accomplish what you have desired— rely on 
 yourself and you will win. The overcoming of 
 evil with good. 
 
 Neutral 
 
 When ruled by Neutral cards, it means slow 
 of action— or a person who will take his own 
 time— delay of the wish through others.

 with anyone in a way that would bring you to 
 grief. They may do it by working on your sym- 
 pathy or vanity. 
 
 Neutral 
 
 When a Neutral card rules, it denotes a ten- 
 dency to little falsehoods, exaggerations, gos- 
 sip—you are the sufferer, if it lays over your 
 head— also misunderstandings. 
 
 Good 
 
 If good cards rule, you widl not be duped, 
 although efforts may be made to do so— also 
 represents an honest person.

SAMPLE READING OF ACCOMPANYING 
 SPREAD 
 
 (See Inset in front of booklet for illustration) 
 
 This reading is for a single man about 27 
 years of age. 
 
 We first note the cards that lay touching and 
 near him. They do not indicate a person who 
 would have a remarkable career, but as the 
 Sphere of Yellow is in his line, he should be suc- 
 cessful in whatever he undertakes; the more so 
 that he has neither a ruler or qualifying card 
 above him, thus denoting him to be of an inde- 
 pendent nature. 
 
 His Past (Eight of Black) we find in the fifth 
 row from the top and sixth card in the row. 
 In reading the Past, we read first the card 
 touching it above, the Five of Black (Evil) ruled 
 by the Sphere of Blue, which latter being a fixed 
 good card, both rules and qualifies, and indicates 
 that his former conditions were not nearly so 
 good as at the present time. The next card 
 is the one at the right of the Past. This is the 
 House of Blue, ruled by the Three of Blue ; 
 qualified by the Six of Red (Good), which indi- 
 cates that he has made steady advancements 
 from the first, and that he has studied Art in 
 some of its forms. The card touching the Past 
 on the left is the Four of Yellow. It is ruled 
 by the Temple of Yellow, qualified by the Nine 
 of Red (Good), which would indicate that he 
 being a single man had been separated from 
 friends, but is again with them; and also pre- 
 dicts for the Future a prudent marriage. 
 
 We now begin at the top row, which is read 
 to the Inquirer (Apollo) and would indicate the 
 near past, the present and the near future. This 
 row being at the top of the spread has neither 
 rulers or qualifiers. Each card is therefore read 
 as if ruled and qualified by its own color and 
 quality. 
 
 The first card (the Unit of Red) is thus read 
 as though qualified and ruled by itself (Good 
 Red), showing that he has made good use of 
 
 64 
 
his knowledge, is acquiring wealth by skillful 
 means, and success follows his undertakings. 
 
 The Three of Yellow (Good Yellow) indicates 
 that he has been strongly attracted toward a 
 lady to whom he has made love, and as the 
 Sphere of Yellow lays at the left, would predict 
 that his proposal had been accepted and that 
 the engagement would end happily. 
 
 The Sphere of Yellow also casts its influence 
 on the next card in the row, w T hich is the Temple 
 of Red, This represents a man who would be a 
 great money maker, usually a banker, mer- 
 chant, or some manufacturer. He is often diffi- 
 cult to deal with, but as he is influenced by the 
 Sphere of Yellow, he will be of great assistance 
 to the inquirer and enable him to make a good 
 living, as is shown by the next card, the Six of 
 Yellow. 
 
 The next card, the Nine of Yellow (Good Yel- 
 low) denotes that he will have generally good 
 conditions around him and be free from acci- 
 dents. That he will be what is called a "for- 
 tunate man." 
 
 This card also represents, his wish and as it 
 falls in his line, we will now read it. We note 
 the cards around it and find that it touches the 
 card Diana (his companion or sweetheart.) This 
 would indicate that the wish concerned her, but 
 we also find at the left an Evil Black card which 
 denotes delays. However, as there is no card 
 overhead and a good one touches at the right, 
 we would predict that he would get his wish, 
 but not as soon as he desired. 
 
 The next card is the Two of Black (Evil), 
 which shows that he will be affected in some 
 way because of the delays of others. Things 
 move too slowly to suit him. Perhaps the ar- 
 rangements for his coming marriage is the 
 delay of the wish, it being connected with the 
 Diana (the companion) indicates it. 
 
 The next card is Apollo (the Inquirer) and as 
 there are no cards above, it shows him to be of 
 an independent nature. 
 
 The next and last card is the Four of Blue 
 (Good Blue). This would give his occupation, 
 which is probably a teacher of Art in some of 
 
 65 
 
its forms, as it is indicated in the Past. He is 
 also very fond of literature and a great reader. 
 
 We now note his Future. The cards indicating 
 it are near the Nine of Black, which card is 
 found in the bottom row, and is the fifth card 
 from the right. As this card falls in the same 
 row as the Home (the House of Yellow) we 
 conclude that it is more nearly connected with 
 the Home, than with himself alone. We, there- 
 fore, wait until the Home is read to find out its 
 meaning-. 
 
 The line containing Diana (the Companion) is 
 next read. She is found in the second row from 
 the top. This row has ruling cards, but no 
 qualifying ones. Beginning at the right hand, 
 the first card in the row is the Seven of Black 
 ruled by the Unit of Red (Good Red). This 
 gives promise of comfort and clearing away of 
 difficulties and especially brings happiness to 
 this lady. 
 
 The next card is the Temple of Black ruled by 
 the Three of Yellow (Good Yellow), which in 
 this case indicates that she is a widow, or a lady, 
 who has experienced a great deal of trouble in 
 the past. 
 
 The next card is the House of Red, ruled by 
 the Sphere of Yellow, which latter is a strong 
 card, clearing away sorrows and difficulties. 
 This indicates that in the near future she will 
 have better conditions about her, which will 
 bring encouragement to herself and friends. 
 This is shown by the Ten of Red ruled by the 
 Red Temple (Good Red.) 
 
 The next card is the Four of Black ruled by 
 the Six of Yellow (Good Yellow.) This indicates 
 that the lady is upright and honest, and that 
 whatever troubles have come to her have been 
 the fault of others. 
 
 We now come to the card Diana (representing 
 the lady herself.) The Nine of Yellow directly 
 above her is read as being in the row. As this 
 must qualify and rule itself, it gives her the 
 same good conditions in the Future that will 
 come to Apollo (the companion.) In addition 
 we find that beneath the lady (Diana) is the 
 
 66 
 

 Sphere of Blue, a strong fixed good card, which 
 in this position would indicate that honors or 
 rewards will come to her late in life. 
 
 The next card is the Eight of Blue, qualified 
 and ruled by the Two of Black (Evil), which 
 denotes that there will be some trouble with her 
 friends or relatives, caused by misunderstand- 
 ings. Also that in the Past there has been some 
 hidden sorrow caused by blasted hopes, that 
 will still affect her in some way. 
 
 The next card is the Three of Red, which rules 
 and qualifies itself, as Apollo is in the row 
 above. This makes it ruled by Good Red, indi- 
 cating that out of these misunderstandings 
 would arise an event that would require the use 
 of judgment, will and decision. 
 
 But as the next card is the Two of Blue ruled 
 by the Pour of Blue (Good Blue), it shows that 
 while there is some outside trouble, there will 
 be harmony in her own home; also that this 
 lady may be and probably is a musician. 
 
 We now pass to the row in which the Home 
 (The House of Yellow) is located. This is in the 
 last or bottom row. This row has both qualify- 
 ing and ruling cards, and we will thus have the 
 three rows to take note of. 
 
 The first right hand card is the Seven of Blue 
 ruled by the Sphere of Red, which latter being 
 one of the strong fixed cards, cannot be qualified 
 by the Evil Three of Black above it. This indi- 
 cates that a large amount of money will come to 
 the household of the Inquirer eventually through 
 a satisfactory settlement of affairs. 
 
 This settlement is shown by the next card, 
 the eight of Yellow, ruled by the six of Blue, 
 qualified by the nine of Blue (Good); so they 
 are advised not to get discouraged. 
 
 The next card is the Unit of Yellow, ruled by 
 the Unit of Black, qualified by the Eight of 
 Red (Good.) The Good Red above by its influ- 
 ence will make this Evil Black Unit into a Good 
 Black as a ruler, so we read that this couple 
 will have but little attachment for their home, 
 because of the long journeys they will be fond 
 of taking. 
 
 The next card, the Two of Yellow, ruled by the 
 Seven of Yellow, qualified by the Ten of Blue 
 
 67 
 
(Good) indicates an unexpected journey taken 
 tog-ether, perhaps the wedding* trip as man and 
 wife in the future. 
 
 The next card represents the Future and being 
 in the line of the Home, only the cards above 
 read to the Future, which are the House of Blue, 
 ruled by the Three of Blue, qualified by the 
 Six of Red (Good.) This would indicate that 
 there would be chances of advancement in the 
 Future as in the Past, especially if interested in 
 any kind of literary or art work. Perhaps a trip 
 abroad. 
 
 We find next the House of Yellow (which rep- 
 resents the Home.) It has over it a neutral card 
 (the Past.) This taken together with the previ- 
 ous cards read from, would indicate that they 
 would not have, for some time at least, any 
 home of their own. 
 
 In the next card the Four of Red, ruled by the 
 Four of Yellow, qualified by the Temple of 
 Yellow (Good), we find that they are given suc- 
 cess, and also have the good opinion of those 
 around them and later, honors. 
 
 The next card is the Two of Red, ruled by the 
 Temple of Blue, qualified by the Evil Six of 
 Black, which makes the ruler into an Evil card, 
 showing that after a while there comes to them 
 losses, and that for some cause they are obliged 
 to lay aside their work for a time. 
 
 The next and last card to be read is the Five 
 of Red, ruled by the Ten of Black, which being 
 one of the cards of fixed quality for good, cannot 
 be qualified by the Ten of Yellow. Thus we find 
 that at the end, because of this over-ruling good, 
 they will be preserved through afflictions, and 
 that through the effects of a vacation, bringing 
 change and fresh air, recover from probable ill 
 health, and enjoy a happy life in years to come.
