Book cover

"The Square of Sevens: An Authoritative Method of Cartomancy with a Prefatory Note" is a comprehensive guide, written by an esteemed author Edward Prime-Stevenson, that delves into the mystical world of cartomancy. Offering readers an in-depth exploration of this age-old divination technique, the book is meticulously crafted to appeal to both novice and experienced practitioners alike.

One of the book's notable strengths is its rigorous and authoritative approach. Prime-Stevenson meticulously dissects the intricate art of cartomancy, leaving no stone unturned. The detailed explanations and step-by-step instructions demonstrate the author's deep understanding and mastery of the subject matter. It is evident that Prime-Stevenson has poured years of research and personal experiences into this work, making it a noteworthy addition to any cartomancy enthusiast's library.

A standout feature of "The Square of Sevens" is its focus on the Square of Sevens spread—a technique that utilizes a seven-card combination to unveil hidden insights and truths. The author delves into the historical significance of this spread and expertly guides the reader through its interpretation. The explanations are crystal clear, ensuring even those new to cartomancy can easily grasp and practice this method.

In addition to its practicality, "The Square of Sevens" also offers insightful reflections on the philosophy and ethics surrounding cartomancy. Prime-Stevenson encourages responsible practice and emphasizes the importance of treating cartomancy as a tool for self-reflection and growth rather than a means of manipulation or control. This ethical perspective adds a profound dimension to the book, elevating it beyond a mere guidebook and transforming it into a thoughtful exploration of the human psyche.

However, one potential drawback of the book is its level of complexity. While Prime-Stevenson's expertise is apparent, some readers may find themselves overwhelmed by the detailed explanations and technical jargon that permeate the text. Those seeking a more simplified introduction to cartomancy may need to seek additional resources to supplement their understanding.

Overall, "The Square of Sevens: An Authoritative Method of Cartomancy with a Prefatory Note" is an excellent resource for both newcomers and experienced practitioners of cartomancy.

[Transcriber's note: I have made several changes from the original text for this online text edition. First, although I have not indicated it here, in the original text the whole preface (with the exception of the word dukkeripens) is italicized. Next, I have changed all the sidebars to section headings. Next, the illustrations in the original text consisted of rectangular graphs and numbers, and I have made approximations of these diagrams with dashes and vertical bars. The Master Column illustration (Fig. 13) originally had shading in some of the rectangles, which I have indicated by X's. Finally, in the paragraph starting "Let it be minded..." I changed "Sex in Court Cards" to "Six in Court Cards". All other spelling remains the same.]
