THE GOLDEN WHEEL OF FORTUNE.
This singular wheel was much consulted in the middle ages, and is said to have been used by Cagliostro to aid him in his divinations. I have selected it from an old Latin manuscript on Astrology, and translated it into English for the benefit of those of my readers who cannot read the former language. See Frontispiece.
THE GOLDEN WHEEL OF FORTUNE SHOWS:
- I. Whether you shall obtain the favor of the person you desire?
- II. If the querent shall meet with the preferment he wisheth for?
- III. Whether a sick person will recover?
- IV. If the said sickness will be long or short?
- V. Shall your expectation or wish succeed?
- VI. If it is good for you to marry, or otherwise?
- VII. Whether the friendship of a certain person will prove advantageous or not?
- VIII. Whether a person shall be rich or poor? etc., etc.
HOW TO TELL FORTUNES BY THE GOLDEN WHEEL.
The person whose fortune is to be told, must place the wheel of Fortune face downward, prick into a number (it is better to do it with their eyes shut), then refer for an explanation, which stands at the corresponding number as that you pricked into. (See Frontispiece.)
The following observations answer for either sex, the party, therefore, trying this wheel, must alter wife for husband, or just as the answers may suit either party.
1. If this number is fixed upon, it assures the person that you will marry an homely person, but rich.
