Book Description
The Universal Fortune Teller is pure Americana- a hand guide to divining the future and determining destiny through the use of tea leaves, playing cards, palmistry, astrology, and other means. Written in 1860, it is partially based on older traditions within American and English divination. From the day of the week upon which a child was born to hair color this manuscript claims many prognosticating capabilities. With a variety of charms and spells to secure love and wealth, it is properly understood as one of the foremost American occult works.

Book Description
The Universal Fortune Teller of 1790 is the forerunner to a long tradition of oracles and works on dream interpretation, simple divinatory tricks, and astrology. Supposedly deciphered from a manuscript found in the thatched hut of a witch, the work includes everything from the Zodiac to palmistry. With an elaborate back-story to proclaim its pedigree, the Universal Fortune Teller of Mrs. Bridget is one of the most bawdy and folkish manuscripts in the entire pre-modern occult tradition.

Book Description
The True Fortune Teller is a strange little work fairly obviously adapted from (and partly plagiarized from!) the late 18th century Fortune Teller of Mrs. Bridget. Redacting much of the prior content to introduce a new (and novel) oracle system using the picture of a tree, as well as prognostication by nail shape and color, it is as good as any contemporary fortune telling work, and is presumably dated to around the early 19th century- perhaps the 1830s.It is short, but relatively dense, and speaks of astrological terms and various folk divination.
