The Tarot are the most ancient, but as these are very complicated, and everyone may not care to take the trouble to study them. I have left them to the last, giving the simpler methods first. If the reader has the patience and time to study these latter, he will be amply rewarded for his trouble. Even if he does not succeed in obtaining the occult meaning, he will be afforded many an hour's amusement, and my little manuel has been written towards that end.
