It's arrived, my second hand copy (minus Dice).
Bear in mind that I've only skipped through the book to get the gist of it. But I'm so pleased I took a chance and got it!
Paperback:There are 269 pages of which the first 10 are the Intro and the 'How to' and the Index. The rest of the book has three sections; Playing cards, Tarot Cards (trumps only), and Dice. There were originally three dice with this item; a Green one, Red one, and a White one, all with the usual spots plus symbols. All sections have a spread &/or an approach about using the cards/dice.
~~ The playing card meanings arn't totally unfamiliar, but they flow cohesively (unlike some meanings I've come across) and are presented in a very readable way. They really do cover all aspects, including 2, 3, & 4 of a kind if they should appear in your layout. The significance of what each card means is explained under the following sub-headings;
Numerical
Practical
Psychological (not inner-child fluffy psycho-stuff)
Psychic
Influential (This appears to be a sort of atmosphere that a card brings with it.).
Reversed
I'm definitely having a go at this.
~~ The Tarot section covers the trumps with both Positive and Negative meanings.
Justice is 8 (Big Smily here). And the accompaning cards are a pack of trumps. They have Rider-Waite names, but the deck is quite unknown to me. Cardstock is rather thin. I like the artwork.
MAGICIAN: [Excerpt from the Positive meaning].
"...there is a somewhat chancy element attached to this card. It tells the questioner to go ahead and blind them all with science, use new found confidence and have a go.......... rewards for use of ones' imagination, original ideas, flair, art, craft or subtlety that he or she possesses."
Having read lots of tarot card meanings, I wasn't prepared to discover that I can actually agree with how Anon (author) has interpreted them.

~~The Dice
I wish they accompanied the book...... maybe I can find the (new) complete book/item elsewhere.
This section reads like an Oracle. A good one at that! Combinations of the three dice are given, reminding me of Lenormand combinations
. e.g:- BOAT + SUN + GOBLET. Each 3-dice combination has meanings for what may be relavant to the query:
1) General situation:
2) Finance/Business:
3) Love/affections:
Examples are given of how to Cast and Read them. Extra overall, or detailed, meanings can be derived from totalling a layout, &/or totalling different layout areas.
