Readers will learn to tell fortunes using dice or ordinary playing cards, read tea leaves and coffee grounds, interpret dreams, make charms, read palms, and much, much more. The contents include the Lady's Love Oracle, as well as the Art of discovering Truth from Falsehood, Augury of the Flower, Charms and Ceremonies, and How to tell fortunes by Moles. There are also instructions for telling a person's character by assigning numerical values to the letters in his or her name, adding the numbers, and referring to the number in the book's chart. Filled with diagrams and illustrations to supplement and clarify the written text, this is a reissue of a rare and unusual Civil War-era book. Review: Delightful little antique fortune telling book - This is a great little book. It is not an all encompassing tome of old fashioned ways of telling fortunes. But it does does cover several methods. This would be fun for re-enactors, and modern Pagans and fortune tellers looking for how it used to be done. This is an reprint of an actual book printed in 1863, not a modern guess or reinvention. Methods covered span the gamut from throwing three dice to answer questions and dream symbols to telling fortunes with moles(on your skin) to unlucky days. Some of the methods are covered quite quickly; for example the coffee grounds and tea leaf reading sections. But the dice throwing, dream symbols and reading from playing card sections are extensive. If you read "Reading Russian Fortunes: Print Culture, Gender, and Divination in Russia from 1765" by Faith Wigzell, its fun to look at an actual sample of what she is discussing. Blessed Be! Review: Very Interesting Read - I do like this book and find it vastly intriguing! However, I bought it to go with the Gypsy Witch Fortune Tellers Deck, and don't really think that it helps. There is a small percentage of the book that mentions cards. The book mentions using dice for divinitation and how to do so - which I really enjoyed! It also has a small section that helps you use your name to find out what your "character" is. I didn't find this to be accurate, but then again the book is an outdated writing and it was a very fun activity. There are a few other topics included in this book and it is a fun item to have - just don't expect it to be very helpful for card reading. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #751,257 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #609 in Dreams (Books) #869 in Fortune Telling #3,475 in Individual Artists (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 113 Reviews | ## Images ![Fortune Teller and Dreamer's Dictionary (Applewood Books) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81up2QmAkIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delightful little antique fortune telling book *by C***E on May 15, 2012* This is a great little book.

It is not a splashy coffee table book or a fancy gift for someone who likes shabby chic Victorian things. The book is a black and white reprint of an original period manual, and a bit dry for anyone expecting exotic party games. For the Victorian historian/enthusiast/re-enactor, it is a delightful little guide and a fun and authentic little activity. Still haven't finished going through the whole book, but there are pages and pages of ways to tell one's fortune by rolling dice-- the "fortunes" were all very enigmatic, mysterious and a bit silly, almost like out of a Victorian fortune cookie. Mixed with some mulled wine, the whole affair could prove hilarious. It's a cute little piece of history-- it mixes Victorian whimsy with the era's earnest attempt to make a serious science out of the flimsiest premise. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/2327428-fortune-teller-and-dreamers-dictionary-applewood-books](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/2327428-fortune-teller-and-dreamers-dictionary-applewood-books) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
