. The Fool. Idea, thought, spirituality. (That is, if the subject which is enquired about is spiritual.) If
the Divination is about a material event of ordinary life, this card is not good, and shows folly,
stupidity, eccentricity, and even mania, unless with very good cards. It is too ideal and unstable to be
generally good in material things.

. The Magician. Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft or cunning always depending on its dignity.
Sometimes occult wisdom.
