Playing Card Cartomancy - Learn To Read Them
I want to share the art of reading playing cards. This is an amazingly simple way in which to interpret or work with an everyday deck of 52 playing cards. Now you may wish to just use my meanings as a guide or make your own.
The art of divination through cartomancy is unlimited.
You may notice many different interpretations or systems which have been used over the centuries. Some systems and meanings are extremely traditional and other more modern interpretations.
However, there is a common thread of meanings which tend to flow through the suits which, can be why reading or working with playing cards can be such a personal interpretation. You learn to build a relationship with familiar patterns to include timing, events, and clarity all of which can derive from each card.
I personally feel when you create your own meanings - you create your path of attachment. The energy heightened from your conscious mind identifying with that shown and the relationship or story unfolds more fluently
LETS MAKE IT SIMPLE
Firstly you can choose to keep the joker in as a wild card. This could be a card you may give meaning to for example as “the unknown” “leave it to fate” or even where ever the joker turns up you are given a clue to where you may need to keep your energy focused for a while. It‘s entirely up to you.
The Jack, Queen and KIng can be used to identify a person or a situation. Ie Queen of Hearts - may come up in a question pertaining to a mother - or may invite a suggestion that there is a need to nurture a situation or matter more.
