French Solitaire by Madame Josephine

Josephine Beauharnais was not prevented from becoming Napoleon's wife by either the age difference or unsuccessful relationships in the past. She was even sentenced to death, but the woman was lucky. There was a coup, she was released. Through a lover, she met Bonaparte, and in the spring of 1796 they tied the knot.

Napoleon was rarely at home, because of the constant wars he often left. Josephine led a wasteful life. Husband constantly reported on embezzlement and betrayal. This prompted him to file for divorce. Madame Josephine managed to dissuade her husband from a divorce. He paid all her debts, but changed his attitude towards his wife, ceasing to be faithful to her. The situation was aggravated by the fact that she could not give birth to an heir to him. The marriage broke up, and the former empress went to her estate.

Preparing for the schedule

Josephine's fortune-telling is an unusual solitaire game with a special deck. The cards show only symbols and signs. Taking the cards, you need to cut them exactly in half. The result is a new deck, ready to use. The prediction is obtained by examining the matched rugs that form an integral map.

divination plan

The old solitaire is laid out simply. Lay out the deck into ten rows, in each of them leave 8 cards. If in the process of divination two cut parts of one card come together, look at the interpretation. The rest of the alignment will not tell anything more. Coincidence is the only way to know about the future.

How to tell fortunes if there is no special deck

You can play Josephine's solitaire on the Internet. If you want to do it yourself, using only your hands and energy, you can independently conduct a fortune-telling ritual.

Prepare 40 leaflets (cards) from any paper. Lay them out in 10 pieces and sign on each group events that can occur in different areas of life:

Love relationship;
Material wealth;
Development of life in the future;
Possible random events.

You cannot write predictions about death; you should not look into this area without special training.

Carefully cut the leaves in half across the inscriptions so that you can later see if the halves of one card matched. Shuffle the homemade deck, hold it in your hands for a while so that it recharges with energy and gives the correct answers. Then lay it out and see which cards matched.

Josephine's Love Solitaire

For solitaire at home, you need 10 cards, the fortune-telling method is the same. If you want to know how the relationship will develop, the coincidences that have fallen will predict the future.

In what cases fortune-telling will not come true

Sometimes there are no matches. In this case, play the solitaire again, but do it once. Shuffle the cards beforehand and hold them in your hands for several minutes, charging them with your energy. Mechanical unfolding without preparation will not give correct answers. If the halves of the map coincided with the image of the castle, it is not worth guessing on this day.

If the cards do not give an answer, this means that you are distracted by extraneous things. Answering a call or someone else's question at the time of creating the map, you break the picture of the overall layout. In this case, remake the deck, choosing the right time.

Josephine's divination came from a distant past. It has been passed down to the next generation for centuries. It has come down to our days, thanks to the simplicity of the alignment and the veracity of the predictions. It does not use a traditional playing deck, but a specially made one.
