The Oraculum had been originally discovered in one of the Royal tombs of Egypt during a French military expedition of 1801, and at Napoleon’s request was translated by a famous German scholar and antiquarian. Apparently consulting it “before every important occasion”, the book became one of the emperor’s most treasured possessions. It was found among his personal possessions after the defeat of his army at Leipzig in 1813 and translated into English in 1822.
Method to Consult Napoleon's Oracle
1. There are 16 questions covering almost everything one wishes to know about. Read the questions and select the one which expreses best your interest in the future.
1. Shall I obtain my wish?
2. Success in my undertakings?
3. Shall I gain or lose my cause?
4. Shall I live in foreign parts?
5. Will the stranger return?
6. Shall I recover my property?
7. Will my friend be true?
8. Shall I have to travel?
9. Does the person love me?
10. Will the marriage be happy?
11. What sort of a wife or husband?
12. Will I have a son or daughter?
13. Will the patient recover?
14. Shall I speculate?
15. Will I be lucky?
16. What does my dream signify?
2. Make a series of marks like this * in four lines. You should do this without thinking about it. Let the pen be your guide. Add as many marks as desired in each line. When you finish this, your end result should look something like this:
************
*************
**************
***************
3. Now add up the number of marks made. In this example:
************ (12 marks)
************* (13 marks)
************** (14 marks)
*************** (15 marks)
4. When the number of marks in any of the four lines exceeds 9, then only the extra marks are taken into account. So:
************ (12 marks become 3)
************* (13 marks become 4)
************** (14 marks become 5)
*************** (15 marks become 6)
5. A symbol is now obtained from the marks. This is done by marking the line containing an odd number with a single star ( * ) and a line containing an even number is marked with two stars ( ** ). Taking the above example, the symbol obtained from the marks is this:
************ (12 marks = 3) odd number *
************* (13 marks = 4) even number **
************** (14 marks = 5) odd number *
*************** (15 marks = 6) even number **
6. Now you are ready to consult the Oraculum. Look up the corresponding combination of dots, or symbol, on the top of Oraculum Table to find what letter corresponds with the number of the question asked. Once you got your letter you need to find that page and read the answer.
Important:
a. It is forbidden to ask a question twice on the same day.
b. Again, do not ask the same question in a month.
The following are unlucky days, on which none of the questions should be asked, or any adventure undertaken: January 1, 2, 4, 6, 11, 12, 20; February 1, 17, 18; March 14, 16; April 10, 17, 18; May 7, 8; June 17; July 17, 21; August 20, 21; September 10, 18; October 6; November 6, 10; December 6, 11, 15.
