High Mysteries"This divination by cards is a kind of a geomantic lot, and these kind of lots were always held in the highest estimation and repute by the ancients, so that they would perform no work of great importance without first consulting these kind of lots; for whatever divination and predictions of human events are made and formed in this way and manner, must of necessity, besides the lot, have some sublime occult cause, which indeed shall not be a cause by accident, such as Aristotle (and some in our present day) describes fortune to be; for, in the series of causes, a cause by accident can never be the prime and sufficient cause. No, we must look higher, and find out a cause which may know and intend the effect. It is no matter whether we make cards or any thing else the instrument with which we work in these high mysteries; let the instrument be what it will, we well know how, and by whom, the particular and general effects of every action, subject, matter, and thing, are always produced ; therefore we must not place this in corporeal nature, but in immaterial and corporeal substances, which indeed administer the lot, and dispense the signification of the truth; as in men's souls or departed spirits, or in celestial intelligences" (p. 25).
Lupton, Frank M. The Mystic Oracle, or The Complete Fortune-Teller and Dream Book. Self published, 1893.
