Neapolitan Card Meanings & Reading Methods - Method 2



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. To make this study easier, I translated what I found into English. This information is not original to me, rather, it has been found in various places across the web.


Today's method is called the Two Card method and is absolutely fascinating to me. Note that this method uses completely different meanings than the single card meanings I discussed in a previous post. Try it and let me know what you think!


Two-card method

  1. Focus on a question while shuffling the deck and cutting it with the left hand.

  2. Draw two cards at a time, setting aside all pairs. (For example, if you deal out the 2 of coins and the 2 of swords, set those two aside). Go through the whole deck, dealing the cards out by twos and setting aside the pairs.

  3. Follow steps 1 and 2 twice more, focusing on the same question and continuing to set the pairs aside in the order you find them. (So, you retain the pairs you found, then take the remaining unpaired cards, focus on the same question, and shuffle and cut the remaining unpaired cards with the left hand. Then deal the remaining cards out in pairs, looking for and setting aside the pairs. You do this a total of three times.)

  4. If no pairs appear in the first time through the deck, it is an indication that you must give the question/situation more time before you can get an accurate reading. Ask another question or let some time pass before you re-ask the question.

  5. Interpret the pairs according to the meanings below.
