Note: This is a post from 2021 that I transferred from my old blog.

Introduction:
Hi and welcome back to my series on Neapolitan Card reading techniques.
I have been looking for information about how to use Neapolitan cards for divination. Though there are some useful sources out there on the web, the ones I have found have been in Italian.
