33 - PRACTICING THE ART OF THE SOOTHSAYER
“To say: ‘This dwelling I built has turned out lucky for me; this woman I married was a blessing to me; from the moment that I bought this beast, I became rich;’ or to ask a child, ‘What verse art thou learning?’, and, if the child recites a verse from the Blessings, to rejoice and say: ‘That is a lucky sign.’ – all these and similar things are permitted. As the person concerned does not regulate his conduct by them, or refrain from any action because of them, but merely regards them as signs relating to what has already happened, their acceptance is permitted.”*
