Le Guide des Réussites – Divination avec les Jeux de Patience (1988)

A fascinating vintage volume from 1988: Le Guide des Réussites by Giovanni Sciuto — a rare out-of-print French book dedicated to the art of “réussites” (solitaire/patience games) used both as a pastime and a divinatory method.

Sciuto, well-known for his work in cartomancy, presents 30 original solitaire layouts intended to answer questions related to love, money, health, work, and life decisions. These spreads use ordinary playing cards but apply interpretative methods traditionally used in divination.

A great collectible for lovers of cartomancy, vintage French esoteric books, and classic playing-card divination traditions.
