See into and even influence the future with just an ordinary deck of playing cards. Alaric Albertsson teaches you how this common household item, which has a history as long and prestigious as any Tarot deck, can reveal profound divinatory insights through numerology and elemental associations. Fortune in Your Hands presents in-depth explanations of all fifty-two cards, suit by suit, and shows you why playing cards can be the best divination tool for you. Discover how the cards relate to the four elements, how each card's number is more significant than one might assume, and how a variety of spreads, from single to three or more draws, gives context to your query or situation. Learn the ethics of divination, how to cast spells with the cards, and much more. With this book and a humble deck, you really can hold your fortune in your hands.

Alaric Albertsson (Iowa) is the author of A Handbook of Saxon Sorcery & Magic and To Walk a Pagan Path. He is a founding member of Earendel Hearth, an Anglo-Saxon inhired, and served as vice president and was on the Board of Directors of the Heartland Spiritual Alliance. He is currently a member of the Druidic organization Ar nDraiocht Fein and serves as the Anglo-Saxon Vice Chieftain for the ADF Germanic kin, Eldr ok Iss. Albertsson first embraced polytheism in the summer of 1971. At this time he had the opportunity to talk with rural people in the Ozark Mountains about traditional moon lore, weather lore and folk beliefs and was strongly influenced by spiritist traditions. Over the past four decades, Albertsson's personal spiritual practice has developed as a synthesis of Anglo-Saxon tradition, country folklore, herbal studies and rune lore. Visit him on Facebook.
