My aunt would use regular playing cards to do readings. She didn't do them often because she said she didn't like to know the future. She was very, very good though! This was more than 40 years ago.

My grandmother would have a deck of play cards for divination in her purse always. I think play cards are wonderful because it forces you to practice strengthening and having faith in your intuition rather than being bombarded by your ego’s critical thoughts. Traditional tarot is great but the images sometimes take away from the gift of channeling which we all have and must continue to foster . ❤

A disadvantage is that there are no card reversals here. But what I like about this is that we can rely mostly on our intuition instead of on the cards. We need to go back to ourselves or the beings we serve instead of focusing on the cards themselves. I think that this is a really good way of doing it.

Super cool that I came across this video. My Italian grandmother always read cards. I asked her once about Tarot cards and she told me she didn't like Tarot cards. She read standard cards. People would come see her and spread her name word of mouth. Grandma accepted "donations" and this helped her through her retirement until her death in 2006

Beautiful intro 👀❤️ Edit: I'm being very honest. Yesterday only I got the idea to get a normal deck of playing cards to make my tarot deck (I'm a beginner). And I'm watching this video today. I literally marked the four suits in the same order you told in the video. I'm not kidding. I just got the feeling that I should mark them like that. I literally did no research at all until today, after I created my deck.

Thanks for this! I've also began to just use the standard Minor Arcana meanings with playing cards after several years of acquiring Cartomancy books that all differ in their interpretations of individual cards. It just seems easier especially if you already have knowledge of the Tarot & readings. One way to look at the Playing Cards in this manner is to just associate them as a strictly Minor Arcana reading deck for general, everyday life situations- and save the Tarot for more important life events(births/weddings/endings, etc.). And yes, combining the Page & Knight card meanings for the Jacks really makes sense. Thanks again for your video!

A get-around for the Major Arcana is to use two decks of playing cards. The second deck of cards will use two sets of ace-to-ten suits and two jokers. The jokers of decks usually have different designs. Designate one joker card as the Fool and the other one as the World. You'll have to read your cards a little differently in that you will separate the Major and the Minor Arcana. If you sense that you need to draw from the Major Arcana, do it, but do not blend the cards. If the backs are the same, you won't be able to tell the difference between the Magician and ace of cups/swords, wands, or pentacles or you'd immediately know if you were drawing a Major card. As for the Page/Knight, I still have no solution.

I think there is beauty in them 'not' being identical to a tarot deck too. It gives more room for your intuition to come in.

I was also told that each card represents a week of the year., n each suit in a deck represents a season of the year. Therefore a deck of cards can be used like a calendar or to predict certain event dates what do you think?

@dreamingofyou2958 2 жыл бұрын

52 cards = 52 weeks in a yr. 13 cards in each 4 suits = 13 weeks in each season. And I think if you add up all the numbers in the deck of cards it'll add up to the days in the lunar year

Technically the Joker is a glorified Jack, but when reading for the Tarot it's best to utilise his court jesterness like the fool. You could choose to view the high joker as the positive atrributes and the low joker as the negative attributes of the fool card if you wish.
