The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Use a regular playing deck of cards. Shuffle the cards. Make a wish and cut the deck into three piles. Take seven cards off the top of each pile. Combine to form one new pile. Place this pile face down. This will be your source pile.



Now, you will make six new piles, using the 21-card source pile. You will do this by, first, taking the top card from this source pile, placing it face down, and chanting "To your house." Now, do the same for the next card in the source pile. Place it down, to make a new pile, and chant "To yourself." Next, place a third card down beside these and chant "To your wish." Then, place a fourth card down and say "What you do expect." Place a fifth card down and say "What you don't expect. Lastly, place a sixth card down (your sixth pile) and say "What's sure to come true."



Now, place your second cards down on these six piles, chanting the appropriate categories (To your house, etc.). Continue to follow this sequence until you have only one card left. This 21st card will be placed to the side. It is your wish card.



Now read your piles, according to their categories, using the key below. Read your wish card last. Note that Stacey's grandmother often did her readings three times to look for consistencies.
