55 Revelation (1/2)
Anna, with her beautiful eyes, hesitated for more than ten seconds.
”You can choose any type that you believe will be accurate. You are the fortune-teller, while I'm not. Of course, apart from cards, including tarot, I have also attempted studying them at home. I always felt they were more like toys or a game.”
Klein thought for a moment, his wrists leaning on the edge of the table. He steepled his hands before his face, his gaze peaceful. He said softly, ”Then we shall use the astrolabe.”
He pointed to a fountain pen and stack of white paper on the table and said, ”Write down the name of your fiancé as well as his facial features, address, and date of birth. It would be even better if you can remember the specific time he was born.”
From her clothes, makeup, and demeanor, Klein did not believe that she was illiterate.
Anna did not reply. She extended her hand and took a piece of paper. She lifted the pen and dipped it in some ink. She started writing, pausing occasionally to think.
Two minutes later, she pushed the paper toward Klein.
Klein received it and turned it around. The information on the paper read: ”Joyce Meyer, 15th September 1323, 2:00PM. Tingen City, East Borough, 8 Stevens Street. Short blond hair, aquiline nose...”
With just a short glance, Klein quickly calculated the person's spiritual number:
1+5=6
In the study of Spirit Numerology in mysticism, adding the numbers of the day the person was born was called their Birth Day Path Number, affecting the person's life before 27. Birth Month Path Number (calculated by adding the numbers in their birth month) affected their life from 27 to 54 years old, while the Birth Year Path Number (calculating the numbers in their birth year) affected their life from 54 years old onward.
It was July 1349, so Joyce was not yet 27; thus, Klein immediately calculated the Birth Day Path Number.
The number six represented a balanced and harmonious life, with a heart for giving and a decent marriage or engagement.
Following this, he quickly calculated Joyce's Year Path Number.
The so-called Year Path Number was calculated by replacing the birth year with the current year. The digits were then added with his Birth Day Path Number and Birth Month Path Number to get a general understanding of the person's luck for the year.
1+3+4+9=17, 1+7=8; 8+9 (Birth Month Path Number)+6 (Birth Day Path Number)=23; 2+3=5; His Year Path Number is 5, signifying that he would meet with change and accident. He would be required to take certain risks... Klein made a silent judgment after consolidating the facts. He confirmed that the information Anna gave was correct.
He retracted his gaze from the paper and turned it toward Anna, ”Mr. Meyer set off on his journey on the 3rd of June?”
”If he did not lie, that is indeed the case.” Anna bit her lips.
”Alright.” Klein took the fountain pen and made a note of that.
He looked at Anna with his dark brown eyes and said gently, ”I will begin creating the astrolabe now. I will need some time and absolute silence; do you mind waiting outside? Angelica will provide you with a cup of tea or coffee.”
”Alright.” Anna knew that some fortune-tellers had their eccentricities, so she stood up unsurprised. She took her hat with the light blue ribbon and left the Topaz room.
Klein locked the door and returned to the table. He followed the information and set up the astrolabe, including elements such as his horoscope and locations of the corresponding planets and stars.
Throughout the entire process, he did not open the Astromancy Manual. He completed the set up based on his memory.
Over the past few days of his mysticism studies, Klein realized that he could easily grasp and understand anything about divination, quickly turning it into instinct.
Perhaps that is the ability of a Seer... He completed the astrolabe and felt satisfied. He felt as though his body, heart, and soul had relaxed considerably.
As he looked at the outcome, he followed the path of the horoscopes and planets, as well as other supporting details to roughly deduce that Joyce Meyer had met with an accident but would ultimately survive it.
At this point, the divination was technically complete. But Klein wanted to pay much attention to his first business transaction. He hoped to build a reputation to aid in acquiring future jobs. He picked up the pen and wrote a sentence in Hermes: Joyce Meyer's current situation.
He read the sentence silently and memorized the information on the piece of paper, repeating it again and again.
After seven times, Klein grabbed the piece of paper and leaned back into his chair.
He imagined the sphere of light, and his eyes became darker, allowing him to quickly enter a state of Cogitation.
The surroundings took on an ethereal quality. A formless, boundless fog stretched above him.
Klein recalled the contents of the piece of paper, then relaxed. He fell into a deep sleep in this state.
He was using a dream divination technique!
Repeating the question, remembering the details, and then allowing his Astral Projection to roam the spirit world in a dream would allow him to gain revelations!
Ordinary people also had this sort of experience sometimes, but it was hard for them to recall, as the signs in their dreams were more complicated and garbled. A Seer would not have such a problem, for they could see the images directly.
The surroundings began to turn hazy as Klein turned half asleep.
In the contorted fantasy, he saw a blond young man with an aquiline nose. He was swimming frantically in a sea of blood, nearly engulfed by the waves. But in the end, he managed to escape to shore.
The image shattered and changed. Klein saw a blue house with a toy windmill at the door. That blond young man was entering the house slowly, seemingly in joy.
At this moment, the image changed once again. Klein realized that he was inside a magnificent palace.
The walls were destroyed and damaged beyond repair. Moss and weeds grew in multiple areas. Through the holes in the walls, he could see a mountain peak and clouds clinging close to it outside.
