The Signification of Moles.


A mole near either elbows, shows the person to be of an unsteady
disposition; to whom much discontent will fall in a marriage state, no
great prosperity, but disagreeable accidents; marriage with a person will
make you very unhappy and children whose misconduct will give you much
trouble.

A mole on the front of the left arm, between the bend of the elbow and
the shoulder, shows great fortitude, resolution, industry and fondness of
learning; but that your partner in the marriage state, will be very
unfaithful, and yeild to every new face; not very prosperous, but much
under the control of your partner.

A mole on the cheek shows an industrious and ingenious disposition; given
to be rather grave, but addicted to the pleasure, of love; and moderate
success in life.

A mole near the side of the chin shows an amiable disposition,
industrious, ingenious, and inclined to traveling; will also be very
successful in life, loving, and have many friends.

If either a man or woman have a mole on the place right against the
heart, it denotes them to be undoubtedly wicked.

If a mole be seen on a man or woman’s belly, it signifies he or she to be
a great eater and a glutton.

If a man or woman have a mole at the bottom of the belly it signifies
weakness, and to be often sick.

If a man has a mole on his knee, signifies he shall obtain a comely and
wealthy wife.

If a woman has a mole on the right knee, it signifies her to be honest
and virtuous; but if on the left, she shall have many children.

If a man has a mole athwart his nose, it denotes that he will be a great
traveller.

A mole standing on a woman’s nose, signifies that she shall travel on
foot through divers countries.

A mole on a man’s throat, signifies that he shall become rich.

If a woman has a mole on the lower jaw, it signifies she shall lead her
life in sorrow and pain of body.

A mole in the midst of the forehead, next the hair, denotes the possessor
to have a discourteous cruel mind, floating brain, dull and incapable,
and of unpleasant discourse? if it is of a honey colour, the party will
be beloved; if red, the possessor is sullen and furious; if black,
inexpert and wavering; if raised like a wort, it is very fortunate, but
if a woman, it shows her to be a slut, lazy and slothful; if it appear in
her forehead black, she is treacherous and consent to evil deeds, and the
murderer of some one.

A mole on the right side, about the middle of the forehead declares a man
to abound in goods and benefits, by the favors and friendships of great
men; he will be loaded with offices of command, and will be esteemed and
honored; the paler the colour the greater honour awaits him; if red he is
loved by the clergy; if black let him be aware that he does not incur the
resentment of great men; if watery, it increaseth his good fortune; a
woman having this, shall be unfortunate in all her actions; but if black
beware of her tongue.

A mole on the left side of the forehead, near the hair, predicts misery,
poverty, and abundance of tribulations to a man, and that by means of his
own misconduct; if it be either honey-colour or red, his sorrows are
somewhat lessened; if black, he is in danger of imprisonment, but if it
be as a wart his ill fortunes are moderated; to a woman it indicates her
to be needy and poor; but if black, she will be unfortunate and unhappy
in every undertaking.

A mole on the left side of the forehead, somewhat lower than the
fore-named, fortels to the man, contentions, quarrels, and persecutions,
chiefly by reason of women; if a honey-colour these troubles will arise
from women who are your kindred; if red, by reason of luxury; if black he
will consume his estate; if like a wart he will be martial, stout and
valiant! to a woman it generally signifieth great molestations, and
little credit: she is warned to take heed of danger arising from a
licentious, loose, and debauched carriage; of whatsoever colour it may
be, the woman shall be a loose and careless housewife, and extravagant to
an extreme.

A mole on the left side of the forehead, about the midway, threatens a
man with prisons, and persecutions from his superiors; if a honey-colour,
he prodigally and loftily wastes his estate; if red, he will become poor;
if black, let him beware of the warth or malice of great men; to a woman,
it threatens sorrow and anguish, by the perfidity of some men; and if
black, she will partake of the extreme of misery.

A mole on the left side of the forehead, a little above the temple, shows
the man to be very malignant, and of an evil disposition; if of a
honey-colour, he shall be a hatred to his friends; if black, he is in
danger of being criminated and branded for his falsehoods; if as a wart,
his fate is mitigated; to a woman, it signifies justification of
innocence, though not deserved? if black, she is blamed for malignity,
and deserve far more, as it represents every evil.

A mole appearing on the right temple, over the eye, denotes a long life,
and a good fortune; if it appears pale, or red, he is studious; to a
woman, it signifies good and happy fortunes and marriage, as she will be
of careful conduct.

A mole on the right temple, inclining towards the neck, promiseth
ingenuity, from whence riches will assuredly flow, as also long life;
honey-coloured or red, he shall rejoice in good fortune; if black, he
will be somewhat troubled in his affairs; but if as a wart, he shall
obtain the good things he wishes, or sets his hand to; to a woman it
promiseth goods, and long life; she is modest, virtuous and chaste? if it
appears black, it will be an hinderance to her good fortune.  Moles like
a wart, are in general very fortunate.

A mole on the left side, towards the upper part of the corner of the eye
signifies great and dangerous sickness; if it is honey, or red-colour,
these misfortunes will be modified, if black, a short life, by means of a
grievous fall, or suffocation by water or smoke; if as a wart, it denotes
a good end? to a woman, moderate health and many perplexities, loss of
favour and friends, perverse children and enemies, who will endeavour to
wrong her; if black, it foretels many miseries, and in all probability a
violent death.

A mole under the hollow of the right eye, by the inward part of the nose,
denotes the man to be a hasty, proud, arbitary, and furious spirit; if it
be a honey-colour, he is active and tractable; if red he is a rough-hewn
being and wranglesome; if black, seditious and stubborn; to a woman, let
the colour be what it will, it signifies her to be proud, satirical,

over her husband and every body else, and will ruin herself by such
means; and her misfortunes will gain no pity from others, as her conduct
is generally contemptuous.

The art of Telling Fortunes by Dice.


This is a certain and innocent way of finding out common occurences about
to take place.  Take three dice, shake them well in the box with your
left hand, and then cast them out on a board or table, on which you have
previously drawn a circle with chalk.

Three—a pleasing surprise.

Four—a disagreeable one.

Five—a stranger who will prove a friend.

Six—loss of property.

Seven—undeserved scandal.

Eight—merited reproach.

Nine—a wedding.

Ten—a christening, at which some important event will occur.

Eleven—a death that concerns you.

Twelve—a letter speedily.

Thirteen—Tears and sighs.

Fourteen—beware that you are not drawn into some trouble or plot by a
secret enemy.

Fifteen—immediate prosperity and happiness.

Sixteen—a pleasant journey.

Seventeen—you will either be on the water, or have dealings with those
belonging to it, to your advantage.

Eighteen—a great profit, rise in life, or some most desireable good will
happen almost immediately; for the answers to the dice are fulfilled
within nine days.  To show the same number twice at one trial, shows news
from abroad, be the number what it may.  If the dice roll over the circle
the number thrown goes for nothing, but the occurrence shows sharp words;
and if they fall on the floor it is blows; in throwing out the dice, if
one remain on the top of the other, it is a present of which I would have
them take care.



Dominoes.


Lay them with their faces on the table, and shuffle them; then draw one
and see the number.

Double-six—receiving a handsome sum of money.

Six-five—going to a public amusement.

Six-four—law suits.

Six-three—ride in a coach.

Six-two—a present of clothing.

Six-one—you will soon perform a friendly action.

Six-blank—guard against scandal, or yon will suffer by your inattention.

Double-five—a new abode to your advantage.

Five-four—a fortunate speculation.

Five-three—a visit from a superior.

Five-two—a water party.

Five-one—a love intrigue.

Five-blank—a funeral, but not of a relation.

Double-four—drinking liquor at a distance.

Four-three—a false alarm at your house.

Four-two—beware of thieves or swindlers.  Ladies take notice of this; it
means more than it says.

Four-one—trouble from creditors.

Four-blank—receive a letter from an angry friend.

Double-three—sudden wedding, at which you will be vexed, and by which you
will lose a friend.

Three-two—buy no lottery tickets, nor enter into any game of chance, or
you will assuredly lose.

Three-one—a great discovery at hand.

Three-blank—an illegitimate child.

Double-two—you will be plagued with a jealous partner.

Two-one—you will mortgage or pledge some property very soon.

Double-one—you will soon find something to your advantage, in the street
or road.

Double-blank—the worst presage in all the set of Dominoes; you will soon
meet trouble from a quarter quite unprepared.

It is useless for persons to draw more than three dominoes at one time of
trial, or in one and the same week, as they will only deceive themselves;
shuffle the dominoes each time of choosing; to draw the same dominoe
twice, makes the answer together.
